The 2009 film, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, by Michael Bay is a modern science fiction movie that is full of action. This movie is about incredibly advanced outer space robots that came to earth looking for a new planet to inhabit and take over. Transformers is a very popular line of movies, it consists of four movies total. Revenge of the Fallen is the second in this series. When the movie first went public there was a variety of different posters shown for the movie, each of which contained almost the same content. This movie poster for the film is a straight forward type of propaganda, which means that it pretty much explains the movie itself. The poster contains the faces of both Autobots: Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, who are looking down at a pyramid with Sam and Michaela standing there together, while the background consist of the chaotic battles that occurs in the movie.

The movie is full of life saving, helpful Autobots that fight against the evil, life threatening Decepticons in order to help save Earth. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the two most important within their circle of Autobots, they are also the two most shown throughout the movie, which explains why the movie poster contains only them two. They are not just the most well-known but they are the good guys, the ones that take the most action, and are the most depended on. Almost every battle is fought with them two alongside the rest of their crew and the humans. Optimus Prime is presented a bit larger than Bumblebee because he is the leader, the commander, and the one in charge of the Autobots. He is the one that they all follow and look up to for anything that they do. Bumblebee belongs to Sam Witwicky, who is one of the main characters. He is the one who called upon the Autobots to come to Earth and help fight the Decepticons. The movie is based off the relationship between Sam and Bumblebee, for they do not have the normal owner-car relationship, instead it is much stronger because they are best friends and depend on each other. 

The Poster shows a male and female hugging each other in front of a pyramid. These two are the only humans shown on the poster because they are the main characters. Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, who are both two teenagers, who got involved with the Transformers early on in the first movie of the series and continue to work with them throughout the second movie. Within the movie poster they seem to be hugging each other, showing affection towards one another. This shows the audience that they are critical characters in the movie and both mean a lot to each other. In the movie they carry out a relationship. Sam is constantly trying to keep Mikaela away from danger and she is always right behind him ready for action. They work together to help the Autobots, going undercover, avoiding the government, traveling the world, and doing anything in their power to help defeat the Decepticons. 

The movie takes place in a variety of cities and countries. It begins right as Sam moves into college, but then slowly digresses into the main city that the characters later travel to; Jordan, Egypt. Jordan is where the main battle of the movie takes place, and where everyone finally comes together for the climax of the film. Egypt is well known for the pyramids of Giza, created several hundred years ago. These pyramids play a great role within the movie because one of them holds the machine the Decepticons are looking for, thus explaining why the there is a pyramid on the cover of the movie poster. The pyramid not only shows the most important location of the movie but it is a symbol of power for the Transformers. Inside the pyramid there is a machine that would allow the Decepticons to take over Earth and use the power of the sun to do so. 

The pyramid in the movie poster also holds a beam of light on the very top corner of it. The light is dim but shining real bright, as if it’s the morning and the sun is rising above the pyramids. This light is significant in the poster because of the machine the Decepticons are trying to get ahold of is a machine that uses the sunlight for power. Throughout the movie there are several beams of light that are shown randomly to add emphasis on how important it is to save the Earth and Sun.

Lastly, the poster shows a battle going on in the far right hand corner. The battle seems to be chaotic with helicopters, soldiers, and a broken city in the background. The first movie in the series has its major battle in the middle of a city while this movie has its major battle in Egypt. When the movie first begins it starts off with a battle against Decepticons going on in Tokyo, Japan, which is the city that is shown in the movie poster. It is shown as a glimpse into the movie and the beginning of the story line. This small battle allowed the audience to see the future troubles within the movie.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, is one of the most popular science fiction movies created this decade and will continue to be. This film poster shows all the important components and elements of the movie. It allows the audience to see a highlight of the movie without even watching it, almost like foreshadowing what will happen in the movie to interest the public into going to see it. This poster captures the whole movie in one image.
