Looks nice, but Ill be waiting for the superior 3D edition in November/December

[Tokubetsu]

What's gonna be on the special edition? I don't have a 3d tv.

 

[Dead]

All the special features

 

[Nizz]

Is this a new thing now, releasing Blu-ray/DVD movies on Fridays? X-Men: First Class last week and now Transformers. I missed seeing this in theaters but I'll definitely catch it on home video.

 

[Takao]

I know there's a Wal-Mart exclusive, what's the dealio this time? First film had the quasi-animated comic, and the second had the Imax cut.

 

[3N16MA]

Every store is going to have their own packaging or trinket included.

So Wal-Mart only gets the Sentinnel packaging? Eh, that's a step down from the previous two exclusives they've had.

No IMAX this time around.

No IMAX this time around.

Yeah, but I guess I was thinking Wal-Mart would get another motion comic or something.

Anyways, Best Buy exclusive packaging:

Wal-Mart exclusive packaging:

I'm unaware of any other North American packaging varients. I'm expecting either Best Buy or Future Shop up here to carry a Steelbook edition (maybe the Amazon Germany one?). But I'll hold out until the SEs are out.

 

[Dead]

blu will be only $17.99 at best buy btw

Dark of the Moon is now 4th all time.

 

[Tom_Cody]

I love DotM Cybertron.

 

[Escape Goat]

People were telling the truth when they said it was better than RotF.


But the movie still sucked major balls. Michael Bay is a fucking terrible director. Shia Lebeef is a super annoying actor.

At least the blonde chick was pleasing to the eye and a super upgrade from trailer park Megan Fox.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Okay, there are other things to question but my biggest problem was (related to one of those pictures

Spoiler

pulling Cybertron pretty much onto Earth. Gravitational disruption much? That big a planet, even if it's partly hollow, would be like switching Moon and Jupiter around.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Just saw this.

This is possibly the most bloated film I've seen in my entire life. The acting is wooden, the characters are dull and undeveloped, the plot is nonsense, the humans' stories get in the way of what is really happening, I could never tell why what was happening was happening.

Basically, if I hadn't been able to heckle the movie with friends this would have been a complete waste of 2.5 hours. On the plus side Bay seemed to finally figure out how to do a shot that actually allows you to see what the battles actually look like.

Also, WTF AT THE FPS CAMERA VIEW. WORST IDEA EVER.

 

[reggie]

I just watched this, there are people who actually enjoy this? Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen, so mind numbingly bad. Half way though I started thinking about life, what my life had become that I would subject myself to such amazing levels of dog shit. I even contemplated taking my own life.

Fuck this movie.

Have you watched Transformers 2?

 

[reggie]

Have you watched Transformers 2?

Yes, but I don't remember it being this bad. Maybe my tolerance for this shit has changed, I don't know. All I know is that this movie was fucking terrible.

 

[Gui_PT]

Yes, but I don't remember it being this bad. Maybe my tolerance for this shit has changed, I don't know. All I know is that this movie was fucking terrible.

Well, most of it is bad, I must agree. But if you're in the mood for dumb action movies(which people are sometimes), it's a great movie.

Spoiler

Yeah it's bad

 

[JdFoX187]

Yes, but I don't remember it being this bad. Maybe my tolerance for this shit has changed, I don't know. All I know is that this movie was fucking terrible.

While I've enjoyed all three movies, Revenge of the Fallen is easily the worst of the trilogy. Dark of the Moon is nowhere near as bad as it was.

 

[Quick]

I enjoyed all three movies. I like the occasional dumb action movie. I'm waiting on the blu-ray release with special features, since the ones currently out now are stupidly overpriced.

 

[Kinyou]

I thought it was hilarious how

Spoiler

the autobots came off as the bad guys. Optimus is just like: "We'll kill them all!" "Take no prisoners!" (lol even the decepticons took prisoners). And then he kills megatron who just saved his life and executes his old, unarmed mentor.

 

[duk]

really needs an extended version, characters are way underdeveloped. too much going on with no clear message

sigh

 

[Takao]

Ultimate Collection Signature Edition:

There will only be 5,000 made.
They will be autographed by Bay.

They will contain the 3 TF Blu-ray movies + behind the scenes stuff.

[Recon]

^^ How Much???

 

[Takao]

^^ How Much???

Not yet announced, but I imagine the after market prices will be insane.

 

[Takao]

So it's confirmed each of those will be individually signed by Bay, and it'll include the 3D Blu-Ray as well. It's set for January 31, 2012.

 

[Carbonox]

Does Europe get any fancy trilogy edition rather than a bog standard run of the mill boxset? Need all three of these films on Blu-Ray.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Is there any significance to the encased film negatives?

Just a collectible I guess.

You guys just get a run of the mill boxset.

RIDICULOUS.

I purchased this from Best Buy the other day ($10? Cant beat that) and watched for a second time and you know what I noticed?

The autobots are fucking psycho in this movie. Sentinel Prime had Optimus down for the count and he spared his life. Then when the decpticons took down the autobots, they actually took them as prisoner before Dylan decided they should kill them. Showed mercy on so many occasions (except when they tried to blow them up of course but still).

And then you have the autobots.

When they take down the pilot of one of those ships they immediately start ripping his body apart. Gruesomely. And during the last battle, Optimus is down again BEGGING Sentinel not to kill him and the second he gets the jump on Sentinel he gives him two to the chest. Not to mention what he did to Megatron. These guys are psychopaths. It was so weird watching this movie with that on my mind.

 

[B.K.]

That's why I say that Optimus Prime is the true villain of the movie. That's not even counting the fact that

Spoiler

Optimus and the Autobots let the Decepticons take over Chicago and kill an untold number of humans just to prove to the Earth governments that they need the Autobots around.

What? The Autobots made everyone believe they left Earth so they could sneak into Chicago with an element of surprise. I'm not saying it's a great plot device but that's what it was for and not too far from the source material.

In the 2nd movie the autobots where hunting down remaining decepticons in a similar way to how the sith were hunting down jedi.

in war, no1 wins.

Well when they got to Chicago, Optimus said something about how the America government now know why they are needed or something along those lines. He basically said they did it to prove a point.

And along with that, they didnt exactly use the element of surprise to their advantage. They just went in as they normally wouldve. A violent, murderous, horrifying rampage.

Bought this for $10 (on blu-ray) from Best Buy during Black Friday. Now I own the trilogy.

Sweet. Can't wait. It's been hard to hold out for a proper copy with all the extras. I'll be buying it without a doubt to complete my collection.

Yes, they were forced to leave, but they could have reappeared any time they wanted to after their shuttle was destroyed. They waited until the Decepticons had completely taken over Chicago to prove that they were needed.

I expected that to be a lot more expensive.

Oh well, I'm Eurotrash anyway. I'm only getting the DVD for this one somewhere down the line, to complete my collection. Too bad the ones I've seen in stores already don't have a slipcase like my T1 and 2 DVD's do...

 

[cloud_sleep]

Got around to watching this on Blu Ray. Horribly contrived script, including artless attempts at comedy that only serve to deflate any sense of tension or gravitas from what little plot there is. The set pieces were technically impressive but they were essentially the same trick over and over and they failed to invest me emotionally in any of the players involved. The action dragged on and on and by the 2000th explosion of metal/sparks/buildings I was numb and bored. The whole thing was just so incredibly shallow and one note.

 

[Takao]

Bay previews the 3D Ultimate, and Signature Editions.

The Ultimate Edition has extras!

I miss the days of old Circuit City. Competition with Best Buy meant the retailers would always lower the hit DVD price by 5 to 10 dollar on launch Tuesdays.

 

[ManDudeChild]

How dare the movie even make people think of Wrath of Khan.

Transformers 3 was Transformers 2.

 

[Tek]

There has to be somewhere to get that Blu Ray for cheaper than almost 40 bucks right?....right?
