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 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 were a variety of different posters shown, 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 only the faces of both Autobots: Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. The two Autobots are looking down at a pyramid with Sam and Michaela (protagonist) standing there together, while the background consists of the chaotic battles that occurs within 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. Although Optimus is dormant throughout half the movie, he is still the commander of all the Autobots and the one that fights the final battle. 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 leading 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, however, belongs to Sam Witwicky, who is the main human character. 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, perhaps because of their important roles in helping the Autobots take down the Decepticons. 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 care for one another, and implying that there is some kind of relationship between the two. Either an intimate relationship or not, with the position of the two you can interpret that he is trying to protect her and keep her from harm. You can also interpret that they will work together throughout the movie, although there is not an exact conclusion that they are helping the Autobots, you can conclude that they must have some type of important role dealing with them. 

Now the pyramid shown on the poster is a huge giveaway, informing one of the locations of the movie. When one looks at the poster, you can instantly tell that the movie will have something to do in that part of the world. The pyramid can either represent the location of the movie or it can symbolize what most of the theme will be dealing with. 

The pyramid in the movie poster also holds a beam of light on the very top corner of it. The light is small but still able to shine real bright letting know that it is there, as if it’s the morning and the sun is rising above the pyramids. 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 the Sun. Now the light reflecting off the pyramid is orange and yellow, meaning happiness or safety, while the city in the back is lit with dim/dark colors, showing the chaos before the success. 

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 city looks as if it is being destroyed by the battles. It holds dark coloring in the back corner, trying to draw attention to how completely destroyed this city is. This chaotic background shows the audience that this movie is very action packed, and filled with constant battles.

The poster as a whole contains a lot of elements that allow anyone who looks at it to be aware of the main components within the movie. The two transformers, the male and female, the chaotic background, and the pyramid all come together to give the audience some sort of foreshadowing of what will happen within the move. Almost capturing the entire movie within a picture. These details can draw any audience into being interested in going to watch it

This poster allows the audience to know the basic components of the movie and a few sneak peaks of what will go on. Overall the poster itself is a great representation of the movie, attracting the audience into watching it.
