2. One of the film's themes is whether humanity is worth saving. Is humanity worth saving? Does our goodness outweigh our propensity for evil? What does the Bible say?
3. Transformers examines the premise of man's inability to control his mechanical creations, and if we are not careful, our technology will overtake our ability to understand or manage it. What examples of this do you see in our lives?

The Family Corner

Transformers is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor and language. The violence is explosive and intense, but usually along the line of cartoon or comic-book esthetics; there's not much blood shown, but people are killed in all sorts of violent manners. Also of concern is the language and sexuality. There are more profanities (including several uses of God's name in vain) than in many PG-13 films. The female lead character is usually in skimpy attire, showing lots of midriff and cleavage, and sometimes using highly sexualized body language. Meanwhile, there's a brief subplot about the male lead character's possible struggles with masturbation. Additionally, a robot urinates on a human. All to say, use discretion and discernment.
