Transformers Full Theatrical Trailer Available

roelbj writes "The full trailer for Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie is now finally available on Yahoo. Unlike the teaser trailers that have only hinted at what the final effects would deliver, we can at long last get a much better feeling for how the live-action CGI Transformers will look."

  2. This movie is doubly insulting to me by Buran · · Score: 3, Funny

    Any movie that thinks it's OK to ruin the VW Beetle joke and try to foist a fucking CAMARO on us that is some piece of domestic shit and totally destroys the joke, rather than pulling the joke entirely and saying "fine, if we can't use a Beetle, we aren't going to use the name at all" is not good in my book.

    Any movie that thinks Beagle 2 was a Mars rover, uses footage of a Saturn 5 rocket in the launch shots when it's really easy to get stock footage of the actual launcher used for the Beagle 2 mission (Russian R-7 derivative, NOT the Delta 2 the trailer showed), and then goes on to show shots of a really badly-done Mars Exploration Rover copy, all in a 30-second trailer ...

    What the fuck are they SMOKING?

    If I see it at all I'll do it by waiting for the cheap DVD. Good going. Insult my VW-loving side AND my space-geek side.

    There are plenty of other movies I'd like to see this summer and this one isn't going to get my money.

      So the main reason you will not go and see this film about GIANT SPACE ROBOTS* is that the footage used for the real space stuff in the trailer is inaccurate?

      *I think that deserved extra emphasis

    How can we judge the movie without seeing even a few seconds of one of the song and dance routines? This is a musical, right?

    Dude, you managed to "Godwin" a story about the Autobots.

    What were you thinking?

    Be skeptical - this is a Michael Bay film. True, but don't forget the golden rule of Michael Bay movie-making. If it starts with "The" it will be good. The Rock, The Island good movies. Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II bad movies. Since this movie is "The Transformers" I have high hopes!

    What's next, a movie about capacitors? Followed by "Resistors' revenge", maybe?

    Holy crap that was hilarious. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start a movie review site. I would read every one of your reviews. They would be forwarded to millions of people on the interweb.

    You love VW's and space tremendously. Just for that the world needs you.

    put alot of care into making sure that their transformations were realistic.

    Yeah, like when Soundwave would transform from a 10 foot tall robot down to a 5 inch tall tape player. That was totally realistic...

    From the previews, it seems to me the weakest part of this flick may not be the robots in disguise, but their human counterparts.
    oh, good. then it matches the TV show well!

    Be skeptical - this is a Michael Bay film. Here's what to expect:

    1) Absurd and inappropriate love story

    2) Countless quick, nausiating cuts

    3) Horrible dialog

    Lets hope transformers are awesome enough to make up for Bay's movie making "skills".

    Michael Bay made the Star Wars prequels? I thought that was George Lucas..??

    Let me get this straight. You are talking about a series where good anthropomorphic intelligent alien robots that change into cars and planes come to Earth and fight evil anthropomorphic intelligent alien robots that change into cars and planes and you're worried that it's unrealistic? Somehow I don't think that's really the point :)
