Personally I'm keen on the idea - from a selfish point of view:-)
As I have progressive MS it seems like cognitive problems aren't due soon (hopefully) and will be less than with other forms (again, hopefully) but if there's a hope for something that'll help prevent this - then that's great.
Not walking too well is ok, and being a wheelchair user is something I can surely cope with - but difficulty with thinking? That's the most terrifying thing I can imagine.
Paramount pictures were kind enough to preview this for retail - I'm not a Transformers expert so I can't comment on accuracy, but it looks great:-) Far better than the trailers in that you can *see* the robots, the fast cutting to black of the trailer isn't a feature of the film. Looks like it'll be a great action movie.
The humans were quite amusing (retailers are a hard bitten cynical lot but there was plenty of laughter in the right places!) and the robots talk, and interact nicely. Looks spectacular, they didn't just show the FX stuff so got a good feel for it, and I reckon it could be a massive movie.
For me, it's probably the most exciting forthcoming movie - but then again... I'm posting on Slashdot;-) My wife seems less impressed by the idea and is looking forwards to Johnny Depp in POC & AWE (and that's *her* copyright for the new Pirates.. movie!)
