[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

Just got back from this, and I loved it! Entertaining to the end, though corny at times (like the movies intro) but boy did it deliver on the action/SE. It was great how the trailers showed so little, cause I went into the movie with somewhat low expectations and was blown away (action/SE wise).

Something that bugged me though, is how there seemed to be a little join the US army message going on during the film (I'm sure most of you caught the scene/line I'm nudging at). Haha, and like knkwzrd said, long car commercial at times.

Oh yea....

Spoiler:

Anyone else notice how Barricade (the police car) just disappeared during the last fight. Last seen on the highway chasing the Autobots and then never again. I was kinda expecting a fight from him.

BTW, did anyone else get clapping from the crowd at the very end of the movie too? I personally didn't it was good enough to deserve that kind of ovation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Was anyone else surprised that the Transformers Theme didn't even make into the movie, not even the credits (stuck around to see if there were any more additional scenes after the credits themselves, none unfortunately)? Like the soundtrack came with Mutemath's cover of the theme song (which was ok, though does grow on you), but even that didn't make it in.

Since I'm on about the music, anyone else slightly disappointed by the score? I mean it sound epic a times, but there was definitely nothing memorable about it. I kinda wish Bay had hired Zimmer to score the movie instead of Jablonsky.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Transformers hitting IMAX screens, with more footage, on September 21st! Personally I thought the movie should have seen an IMAX release since day one (damn you Harry Potter!).

Quote:

Director Michael Bay's Transformers has already reached $633.9 million worldwide in tickets sales (on a budget of $150 million), but we're thinking fans will want to head back to theaters when his "Giant F**king Robots" will live up to that title even more.

ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com has learned that Paramount Pictures will rerelease the summer blockbuster in IMAX theaters on September 21 with more footage than you saw in the conventional theatrical version.

What? We don't know, but we can't wait to hear Optimus Prime's voice in IMAX's digital speaker system, or see the robots battling it out on the giant screen!

I wonder this'll be a new trend if this release actually sees success, eg. extended editions going IMAX a couple months after original's release.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

DVD and HD-DVD being released on October 16th. Is anyone as surprised as I am that the DVD is being released this soon? I mean it's going to DVD only ~4 months after it was released in theatres. Isn't the norm usually 5-6 months after the movie's theatre release?

This kinda makes me wonder if they plan to release an extended edition for the winter now, since IMAX version is supposed to have more footage than the theatrical version.
