It's 17,000 BC and Transformers were already on Earth. Doing what, we're not sure, but that guy doesn't look so friendly.
We're then brought to present day (2 years after the events of the last movie). Since then Josh Duhamel and Tyrese have been brought into a new sect of our military (NEST) to deal with the ongoing battle between Autobots and Decepticons. They are currently in Shanghai and we are immediately in the middle of a fight.
Back at home Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf) is leaving for college and refuses to let long distance end his relationship with uber hot Mikaela (Megan Fox). While putting a care package together for her, Sam finds a shard of the allspark. He touches it, which does something unknown to Sam, and then drops it turning his kitchen into an army of angry appliances. Bumblebee to the rescue and another fight ensues.
Meanwhile up in space, a Decepticon has taken control of one of our satellites and is listening into all the right conversations. Like the one where we give away the locations of Megatron and another allspark shard.
And that is the first ten. First off, anyone who enjoyed the first movie will have fun with this one as well. Michael Bay is excellent at doing the same but different (Hollywood's definition of a sequel). I tried to keep an explosion count for the first ten but I lost track, which should give you an idea as to the amount of explosions in the entire film. This movie won't win Best Film or Acting awards, but its SFX are extremely entertaining. There seemed to be more jokes in this one, which personally I didn't mind so much as it makes nice use of a down moment before something blows up. There's plenty of new Autobots and Decepticons, so I won't give anything away there, but I can tell you there are no I repeat NO Dinobots. Let's hope it stays that way in Transformers 3: The Search For Michael Bay's Replacement.
