Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Okay, I can’t resist it. I absolutely loved the first movie, so I would just die of jealousy if I can’t watch the sequel. This turns out to be the most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had since coming here.

Warning: Long entry ahead. I discussed the plot in the first page, and my reactions on the next page.

The gang of Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are out to wipe out the remaining Decepticons in cooperation with the military. Sam is about to go to college, and he’s still dating Mikaela. It seems like things are slowly going back to normal. But the Decepticons are planning on something big, and Sam is again forced to battle alongside the Autobots against the Decepticons. (Spoilers under the cut.)

Turns out that the Decepticons arrived on Earth way before Megatron found his way here. The “Primes” (now we know how Optimus Prime got his name) were mining for Energons (the power supply for Transformers) on the stars. Although these Primes vowed never to destroy planets with inhabitants, one of them (aptly called “The Fallen”) turned against the others. He was defeated, and in order to stop him from executing his plan in the future, the other Primes hid the machine they used to mine Energons, and used their own bodies to hide “the Matrix”, the key to activate the mining machine.

Fast forward to the present, Starscream and the rest of the Decepticons managed to pinpoint the location of a piece of the Allspark Cube from the first movie (and here I thought it was totally destroyed), and used it to revive Megatron. Turns out that the Fallen is still alive, taking refuge in Saturn. Once Megatron was reunited with the rest of the Decepticons, they set the plan to reactivate the mining machine into motion. But to to that, they must kill Optimus Prime first, because only a Prime can stop another prime.

The death of Optimus Prime finally made Sam join the war against the Decepticons. With the help of Mikaela, his roommate Leo, and Agent Simmons, they sought Jetfire in order to understand the meaning of the symbols in Sam’s mind. Jetfire led them to the location of the Matrix, only to discover it crumbling before their eyes as they held it. Nevertheless, Sam holds on to it hoping that it could help revive Optimus Prime. They raced back to Optimus Prime, dodging the attacks of the Decepticons along the way. Sam was hit just before he reached Optimus, and seeing how he sacrificed his life to save Optimus Prime, the “spirits” of the other Primes brought back the old form of the Matrix. Sam was then able to revive Optimus Prime, only to be defeated by the Fallen by taking the Matrix. At this point, Jetfire sacrificed his life to give Optimus Prime the power to defeat the Fallen.
