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."

      Care to let us in on the secret?

      Watch carefully the Camaro dashboard sequence, the first time the boy goes inside.

      You'll see a little black square with cube logo saying "CODEBLACK" which looks pasted-on in post-production.

      I googled around and it turns out this is some sort of passcode to SectorSeven.org, which has the same logo, and a password box...

    At first I wasn't sure about this. The designs of the Transformers, when I first saw them, seemed way too busy and overcomplicated. Now that I've seen it in motion, especially the awesome transformation sequences, I'm sold on this film.

    From the previews, it seems to me the weakest part of this flick may not be the robots in disguise, but their human counterparts.

      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...

      The rest of him turned into 1000 feet of extension cord.

      For anyone wondering what this is referring to:

      A) turn in your geek card and slashdot ID at the door
      B) check the trailer at 1:38-39. the sound prime makes as he is in his final stage of transforming is right out of the oldschool.

      Incredible how a simple sound can induce such vivid recollection of days long gone by. They've got me, hook, line, etc.

      How much is nostalgia worth? We'll find out July 9th, after its first full weekend.

    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.

    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!

    As requested.. the QTL files are XML files so just save 'em and open it with your favorite text editor. The content is easy to read so getting the URL takes little to no effort. I did not bother to include the teaser trailer. If you want to view it, you know what to do.

    I guess we're screwed, then. It's titled "Transformers."

    When watching a movie about transforming robots from space, realistic physics is definitely what I'm thinking about..
