Transformers
Have to embrase the jendre - Siobhan L.
Go for the special effects and you might find something else along the way. A bunch of comuters come to earth looking for a cube which is the spark of life for all transformers lost here thounds of years ago. There are good computers and bad computers. The bad ones hack into the Pentagon network to look for the cube. John Tuturro gets it rights with a role that is over acted and comic. Its a Michael Bay movie so there will be lots of noise, explosions and don't examine the plot too carefully or you may fall into one of the holes.
