'Transformers:

Revenge of the Fallen'

Action, PG-13, 150 min.

There's so much swirling, relentless action, indistinct robot characterizations and over-caffeinated techies loose on the special-effects machines that the film, in mere seconds, achieves incoherence. Since the absence of the "Allspark" life force has made the Autobots' planet uninhabitable, they've moved in with us like unemployed relatives and have been working with the U.S. military to find rogue Decepticons and keep the world safe. But not for long: The ancient origins of the Autobots and evil Decepticons will come to the fore. Shia LaBeouf (Sam), above, and Megan Fox (Mikaela) are back, of course, but director Michael Bay, executive producer Steven Spielberg and the rest of their co-conspirators have relegated humans to the props department. Contains sexual content, vulgarity, intense action, crude humor and drug content.
