Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival. An extended cut of the film featuring footage not in the original was released to IMAX theatres on September 21, 2007.
It premiered in Australia on June 12, 2007, and was released there and in a number of Asian countries on June 28, 2007. Originally slated to release in the summer of 2006, the film arrived in US theaters on July 3, 2007, and hit UK theaters on July 27 and French theaters on July 25. The remaining 25 percent were done by Michael Bay's company, Digital Domain. About 75 percent of the film's character designs and visual effects were created by Industrial Light & Magic, the effects-wizards behind the Star Wars films. The principal cast members were Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, and Megan Fox, with Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving as the voices of the Transformers' iconic leaders. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, "No sacrifice, no victory." Both sides are after the AllSpark, a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth ten thousand years ago. The beater he and his father take home is actually Bumblebee, an alien robot from the planet Cybertron, who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent Autobot comrades and the evil Decepticons who threaten the galaxy's peace. Transformers features Sam Witwicky, a plucky teenager who just wants a cool car, but gets more than he bargained for.
