Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a sequel of Transformers 2007. In both the versions, we can see the continuous battle of vicious workings of evil. Transformers 2 is an action packed movie with numerous new characters. The Decepticons, Autobots, and Humans all work together in the development of the story.

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 again in Transformers 2. One of the Constructions resurrects him. He comes to life in part 1 also with the help of a small robot: Construction. The difference in the story of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is that now the Decepticons are after Sam to get some information from him regarding 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 too have a fragile touch with the coming of a female Autobot Acree. Amongst the Decepticons, a new and very crucial theatrical character enters: the Fallen. It is the Fallen whose name is seen in the title of the film. We will cherish the movie with a series of Construction/ Devastators too.

With an impressive sound track by Linkin Park, the scenes create quite an impression. The scenes have been shot at different locations, with Egypt being the most prominent of all, where the final battle has been filmed. Other places include Bethlehem, Philadelphia, New Mexico, Tuscan International Airport, and Pennsylvania. IMAX cameras have been used to shot the action sequences of the movie, which make it all the more impressive.

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.
