Summary
Teenager Sam Witwicky discovers that his first car is actually Bumblebee, a member of the heroic Autobots, a faction of alien robots who can disguise themselves as vehicles. Sam becomes the unlikely key to a war between the Autobots and the evil Decepticons, both racing to recover an artifact hidden on Earth that could decide the fate of their world and ours.
Transformers is a 2007 action, adventure and science-fiction film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. 1,429 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,508 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Transformers lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,429.
