Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a continuation of Transformers 2007. In both the versions, we can see the endless combat of vicious workings of evil. Transformers 2 is a full of action movie with numerous new theatrical roles. The Decepticons, Autobots, and Humans all work in a team in the growth of the narrative.

We see drama, action, suspense, thrill, speculation, tragedy, sorrow, and happiness accompanied with strong characterisations and beau idal of plot. All the characters jut out elevated levels of energies. Just like the 1st part, we see here the good characters combating with the bad to protect the world and humanity from the evil clutches.

Surprisingly, we see Megatron once more in Transformers 2. One of the Constructions raises him. He becomes alive in part 1 also, with the aid of a tiny robot: Construction. The difference in the story of part 2 is that now the Decepticons are trying to get hold of Sam to acquire a piece of information from him connected to the origin of the Transformers.

This information reaches to Sam in the shape of some visions that he gets from the leftovers of Allspark. Sam is shown attending a college to learn astronomy. He is not with his beloved Mikaela as she is not able to go to the college due to economical reasons, and is working at a motorcycle workshop. Sam has also got another human ally; Leo Spitz. Bumblebee will also be staying far from Sam, which one can barely expect after watching the first part. He can’t accompany Sam to the college as any fresher is not allowed to park his vehicle at the college.

The Autobots also have a soft touch with the addition of a female Autobot Acree. Among the Decepticons, a new and very significant character is brought-in: the Fallen. It is the Fallen whose name can be seen in the name of the film. We will enjoy the film with a new line of Construction/ Devastators also.

With an impressive music sequence by Linkin Park, the scenes create imprint an impression. The scenes have been shot at various locations, with Egypt being the most outstanding of all, where the final fight has been shot. Other venues include Bethlehem, Philadelphia, New Mexico, Tuscan International Airport, and Pennsylvania. IMAX cameras are used to film the action sequences of the film, which make it all the more attractive.

Special technical effects in this movie are a must to watch. Real F-16 Fighting Falcon has been utilised in the movie to make it look closer to life. Tank fire, which are included in the movie are also real. Improved designs of the robots are also been used to make them appear deadly and ferocious. Hasbro has worked on quite hard for the designs of the robots, both the Decepticons and the Autobots. This time the moviemakers have dedicated more cost to the special effects.

The most attracting part of the movie is the combats. For heightened marketing of the movie, its prime show will be exhibited in Tokyo, Japan by the 8th of June 2009. After that, the film will be unleashed in UK and USA.
