Sam (Shia LeBeouf) enters college, only to find himself once again in the middle of an intergalactic war between the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons.
They're ba-a-ack! The original movie--which was inspired by the popular toys--was a huge hit, and this one is even more action-packed. It's also really loud and, on IMAX screens, really in-your-face, making it more intense. There are valuable lessons about loyalty and working together, but they're overpowered by the screeching decibel level of the steady violence.

There's no doubt that many tweens will want to see it, but the movie's non-stop explosive action makes it iffy for them, as does the profanity, suggestiveness and the fact that Sam's mom gets high on a marijuana-spiked brownie. Older tweens will be eager to see what happens to Optimus Prime, and will enjoy the close relationship between Sam and his car, Bumblebee.
