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."

The sound !!!

[The Sith Lord]

It's got the sound !!!

This movie is doubly insulting to me

[Buran]

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.

This trailer is INCOMPLETE

[Gerocrack]

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?

Please mod parent +5 Whiny Fan boy.

[Rank_Tyro]

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

What were you thinking?

Re:This movie is doubly insulting to me

[Anonymous Coward]

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

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!

Re:I know

[Walruzoar]

May I be the first to welcome, etc...

Boooring!

[Nuffsaid]

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

What, no obligatories?

[rasputin465]

No one has said it yet!?? Ok, I guess I'll have to:

I, for one, welcome our new Autobot overlords!

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

PLEASE START A MOVIE REVIEW SITE!!!!

[deft]

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.

Nah, is a Michael Bay film...

[tgd]

Plotlines in disguise.

Re:I'm Sold.

[Anonymous Coward]

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...

Re:Direct Link to Files (1080p .movs) ...?

[pbhj]

So which one of those links was a goatse video?

Re:What, no obligatories?

[Anonymous Coward]

You got it all wrong,

I, for one, welcome or new Decepticon overlords!

Re:I'm Sold.

[anothy]

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!

Re:Direct Link to Files (1080p .movs)

[19thNervousBreakdown]

No, you misunderstand, it was just an easter egg.

Re:The sound !!!

[Notquitecajun]

The REAL challenge is in spelling that sound out. It's well-nigh impossible.

Re:I'm Sold.

[jmoriarty]

Yea, I was the same. When the helicopter transformed though, I was hooked.

"Stop... you had me at chooch chooch chech chech CHOOCH CHOOCH CHEECH CHEECH!"

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[Keebler71]

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..??

Was I the first to think

[Anonymous Coward]

OMG PONIES!? When I saw that lil girl? :D

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[schon]

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

You ever see them together in the same room?

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[Tekzel]

Yea, but which one is the secret identity?

I agree...

[le0p]

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

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[Hassman]

Zoink!?! "The Island" was not good. Not even close.

Bad Boys II was the epitome of what an over-the top action movie should be...well actually, Transporter II was, but BBII was pretty close. Regardless, it was fantastic. Those types of movies don't need to make sense. They aren't suppose to. They are just suppose to be non-stop in your face action. Don't confuse these with 'real' action movies like Indiana Jones or the original Die Hard, where the story is and characters are as important as the action.

He is very hit or miss. If you go in to be entertained (via his action movies) he won't disappoint. If you go in wanting to see a serious or semi-serious story then...well...just don't go to see the move.

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[kalirion]

Dude.. it's just a movie. There are far worse things in the world to be upset about.

Another way of thinking is "Dude, there are enough bad things in the world. Let's not add to them."

Re:Something to put my mind off Spiderman

[icepick72]

it is going to have a fucking stupid romance
the horrible mind numbing romance
without a horrible romance
noticed the romance in the preview

Let me guess you're a very single nerd, hanging around on /. Ya. I feel for you bro.

Re:I'm Sold.

[bogjobber]

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 :)

Re:I'm Sold.

[Anonymous Coward]

yes. I always found the logic behind Megatron's transformation to be perfect. From a gun that fits in a human's hand to a 3 story robot monster. I hope they stick the the same physics model for the movie.

I'd love to see a tiny Megatron yelling at a giant Starscream. Would make my day! (Hitler indeed)

[sYkSh0n3]

They tried to update him to, but when Apple wouldn't give them rights to the Ipod, they pondered on using the Zune's likeness, decided no one would know what it was and just dropped him all together.

Re:The sound !!!

[Reader X]

Oh sure, like you young'ns are geeks with yer "Internets" and yer "GUIs" and yer "hard drives"! All MY ones and zeros were painstakingly crafted in the old world tradition!

And that's the way it was and we LIKED it!

Transformers? Flibble-dee-flee!
