Last I checked, Transformers received a 57% rotten rating: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_the_movie/

I never saw it in theaters, or the original cartoon for that matter. And since I refuse to buy a crappy Tosh Hd player (build quality is junk, load times, disc loading error messages, etc), I guess I'll be missing out on "something big" come this tuesday.

Maybe I'll rent the DVD and let my PS3 upscale it, just to see what all the fuss is about. For those who've seen the movie (ignoring the reviews), what did you think? Is it worth a DVD rental???

I say this Transformers movie is only a hype machine. Back when I was a kid, Transformers were liked by the same kid's that like WWE wrestling... :rolleyes:

I'm not a fan of CG movies either, so I avoided this flick when it was in theaters.
I think the only reason this got remotely popular is because kids these days have no idea how lame Transformers was back in it's day.

What, exactly, was the purpose of starting this thread?

Transformers was not lame back in the day. It was one most popular toys and cartoons of its time. The reason it is so hyped is because giant robots fighting it out on earth should = killer action. I thought the movie was decent minus the lame jokes.

Watched it 3 times in the theatre including the 1 time in Imax so my Transformers thirst is fullfilled for now. I still can't believe that Paramount is shafting the HD DVD owners with no lossless audio. Well looking at the numbers in my sig, I shouldn't be that surprised.

You hit the nail right on the head. I'm one of those lame WWE watching CG loving kids from back in the day; and, I loved this movie. I saw it in the theater four times. I'll be popping the DVD in my PS3 as soon as I get it in the mail tomorrow afternoon.

The real question is, why do you care so much that you had to make a whiney thread about it? If the movie is not for you, just move on.

And to answer your question, the "big deal" is that the film is great eye candy and will be a killer demo disc. Plus it is an HD DVD exclusive title that many BD only folks would have bought had it been on BD as well. So all the fanboys are going to rub it in their face.

Because it was an 80's cartoon that people loved and adored, and the movie was a blockbuster hit. Not that hard to see, without your Blu glasses on. :cool:

So you let websites dictate your taste in movies?

:rolleyes:


I share the OP's opinion. I saw it in theaters... big deal. Won't be buying it on HD DVD and I even own a player...

i thought it was the bluray players that were giving people incompatibility messages, specifically, fox titles

And to answer your question, the "big deal" is that the film is great eye candy and will be a killer demo disc.
Yup. There's a lot of very small detail in the film, and a lot of wide-angle shots of various things, which I think is where HD shines the most.. enhancing the clarity of distant objects that become blurry smudges in SD. This one film is the reason I was so upset at Paramount's decision regarding HD. Everything else from them was take-it-or-leave-it as far as I was concerned, but I really wanted to see Transformers on Blu-ray.

if you ignore reviews why care about the rotten rating it received?

second, i'm pretty sure I read in a thread you boasted about the eye candy in fantastic four rise of the silver surfer so really no difference in others boasting about the eye candy in transformers.

I never saw it in theaters,


That's why you don't get it.

I thought it was going to suck because the last Bay film I saw was the Island.
Then Transformers completely blew my mind. Best CGI ever, other than starwars.

Watch it and you'll change you mind. I thought I was going to hate, but it's one of the best action films ever made.

This movie is better then 9 out of 10 movies people are buying right not from the Blu-ray Best Buy/Target/Frys/Circuit City "fire sale" going on right now as 'damage control' for Transformers on Tuesday.

"OMG! Primeevil is $15 on Blu-ray! Must Buy!!!!!11111"

I don't get it... why is everyone going apesh*t over Transformers on HD DVD???

Could be for the same reasons BR supports are getting worked up over Spidy 3?

And exactly what did you like as a kid?

Video games and horror movies. :p

Because it was an 80's cartoon that people loved and adored, and the movie was a blockbuster hit. Not that hard to see, without your Blu glasses on. :cool:

I loved the cartoon. I loved the WWF(back when they were the WWF). I hated this movie. The special effects were great. Its awesome eye candy. But once you get by the wow factor... there is not much substance.

It made the autobots look like weaklings that couldnt do crap other than watch the humans fight the decepticons. (I dont think thats a spoiler, more like a prelude)

Seriously -highlight for Spoiler-
All the autobots did was sit around and get torn up, while the humans destroyed the decepticons. WTH

The movie was ok. A lot of the action with the Transformers I thought was shot in such a way that it was kind of hard to tell what was going on in a lot of the scenes. There was some decent humor in it, and some good action, but at some times it feels like it's a long movie (which it is). I'd probably buy it if it was on Blu-ray, but until it is, I'm in no hurry to watch it again.

Transformers the cartoon ROCKED and this movie ROCKED. End of story. I'm buying it Tuesday on HDDVD.

It's a big deal because it the only thing HD-DVD supporters have to look forward to this winter.

The HD DVD version is at no. 5 on amazon on the dvd best sellers list so hopefully its better then the old cartoon. from reading your post, it sounds like you are kinda mad. Surely you must understand what all the hype is about? It grossed lots of money at the theater and people can't get enough of it. Spiderman 3 made more money and wasn't rated much higher-Should people not be excited about this title either, I'm kinda pissed its not on HD DVD for me to get? I'm still undecided if I will buy transformers movie, but its tempting after reading some PQ reviews with all the extras. I'd say its worth a rent. Watch the trailers http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_the_movie/trailers.php
and if you like what you see, rent it.
As far as Toshiba players go they have won many awards including product of the year from more than one place
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=toshiba+hd+player+awards
so somebody must think they are good players. The Toshiba player is the no. 1 selling dvd player at amazon. The first BD player is at 25 http://amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172514******pd_ts_e_nav/104-6534776-2344723 I would think the build quality, load times and quirks of both formats are equal in one way or another, so theres no reason to complain as its not much of an arguement.

I enjoyed the movie but the audio quality in the cinema i saw it in was terible!

can't wait to fie up the HD-DVD on my home system.

Too bad the audio on this is limited to DD+. The lack of lossless is inexcusable at this stage.

great days indeed for HD movie buyers.

I liked the movie too.

Please move the thread to the Movies, DVD forum, which would be the appropriate place to put a thread asking for opinions of movies.

cuz this movie kicks ass.

I never saw the movie and will eventually one day. I can say this, the hype from the HD-DVD will not live up to it. BD is going to win the software sales again, especially with the deals going on every where. Has anyone seen the sales rank from amazon.com right now? WOW!!

This movie is better then 9 out of 10 movies people are buying right not from the Blu-ray Best Buy/Target/Frys/Circuit City "fire sale" going on right now as 'damage control' for Transformers on Tuesday.

"OMG! Primeevil is $15 on Blu-ray! Must Buy!!!!!11111"

Dude, do you feel dirty whenever you use your BD player or discs? I've never seen you post anything but loathing for the format.

And 9 out of 10 is a little absurd.

You might get better than 9 out of 10 *action* movies, but it's most definitely not a better film than:

The Prestige
Apocalytpo
The Fifth Element
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Black Hawk Down
A Few Good Men

And I'd argue it's not even as good as films like Deja Vu, both Pirates films, Underworld, etc.

And I don't say that to take something away from the release on HD DVD. It's going to be huge - it has to be. Hell, I wasn't even going to get it since I hated more than half the movie, but I feel like I should own it as a demo disc at least. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I don't think it should be a mystery to the OP or anyone why people are going apes**t over this disc. It's going to be one of the biggest releases to date for either format, and may likely dethrone Hot Fuzz for best looking title on the format. I would certainly argue it's bigger than 300, and Spidey 3 for that matter. It's going to sell players, and it looks like Paramount put a lot of effort into it.

But there's no need to try and tear down Blu-Ray over running promotions the same week it comes out. You might say it's a strategic maneuver. Why shouldn't they try something of this nature?

Maybe the HD DVD studios should try a "fire sale" on a day like 10/30 when nothing huge is coming out on HD DVD, yet Spidey 3 and the Spidey Trilogy will be out. Would HD DVD be wrong to do that? Nope.

It's a big deal because it the only thing HD-DVD supporters have to look forward to this winter.

And all the other movies Paramount are releasing on HD-DVD only, this winter.

I have watched it twice this past weekend, any BD fanboys who crap on transformers are simply put, soooo jealous..

And all the other movies Paramount are releasing on HD-DVD only, this winter.

Which would be . . . :confused:

There is so much pent up angst in the BR forums.:eek:

I am an HD-DVD fanboy AND i loved Transformers as a kid...but the film was one of the worst I've ever seen and it really makes me sad that so many people love such a piece of s***
Ok, if all you need is some cool action here and there and you dont care about dialouge, charachter development, real story and all that...fine... I still rather watch good films and not heartless stuff that is made only to earn studios money (and only that)
I do like Action.. if it is done well...Terminator 2 is always that perfect example...great action but also good story and characters (yeah it is possible) ..but if only the action is good and everything else is dull and stupid up to a point where it hurts..no thanks, you won't get my money.
I really dont see how anybody older than 13 can enjoy that...

There is so much pent up angst in the BR forums.:eek:

It's frustrating when the guy driving a Hyundai refuses to believe a Ferrari's better :D

So now a person can't dislike a movie without being a fanboy....

loved transformer (alien robots, nuff said), loved wwf (ultimate warrior+hacksaw jim dugget=greatest americans ever), and i still love videogames. so trasnformers is right up my alley. ima watch this movie like 15 times. b4 the year is over

It's frustrating when the guy driving a Hyundai refuses to believe a Ferrari's better :D

I wouldn't go so far as to compare Blu-ray to a Hyundai.

Well my "crappy" Toshiba A2 has played flawlessly for almost a year now, and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching every HD DVD it plays. Why so ignorant?

At least! :)

I wouldn't go so far as to compare Blu-ray to a Hyundai.

Just the opposite.

The issue of Transformers is getting promoted a lot simply because it is now a HD DVD exclusive. Before the Paramount deal it would not have been an issue in the format war except in terms of percentage of movies sold on each HD format. Now though it is used as a way to promote HD DVD and that is why we keep seeing threads, polls, and posts about it. Now personally speaking I thought it was an okay action movie and it certainly had good special effects. Pity I won't be able to rent it on Blu-ray but it was something that I was unlikely to purchase anyways. Now on the other hand Shrek 3 would have been a purchase had it come out on Blu-ray.

Cool CGI only...that's why it received poor rating on rotten tomatoes site. Saw the movie already....I'll wait until it's $10 on sale even if it takes several years from now. There are plenty of movies that I wouldn't mind paying full price by the end of the year.

Everyone has different taste in movies....they'll buy it..and then they'll sell it afterward. I know I have purchased many hype movies...and then finding out they're complete garbarge for my liking.

It was a movie directed towards the teen crowd. It started off well enough but by the 30 minute mark it's easy to realize the demographic this movie was targeted at.

Not a bad movie, but if they had taken it in a more serious/darker direction it could have been fantastic. As it is it was heavy on the action and eye candy and not much else. :P

P.S. I always preferred those 4 lions to Transformers, forget the name of that cartoon now though. hehe. Then there was The Real Ghostbusters, Dungeons & Dragons (was sad when this one was cancelled), and all the Warner Bros and Hanna Barbara cartoons. :P

Honestly though, the real question is, if it's not a big deal, then why is Blu-Ray having all these BOGO sales. :P

P.S. I always preferred those 4 lions to Transformers, forget the name of that cartoon now though.

Voltron.

Voltron.

That's the one. Thanks. :)

Since Spider-Man 3 only has a 62% rating on RT and Pirates 3 has 45%, can we assume you won't be buying those either? I saw all three theatrically and Transformers was by far the most enjoyable of the brainless blockbusters this summer IMO.

Of course the best film of the summer (admittedly I won't have seen Ratatouille until I get the BD next month) was Bourne Ultimatum (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bourne_ultimatum/), and we all know where that's going.

It was a fantastic movie, i saw it a few times at the cinema, then i read Paramount would go HD-DVD so i never got to see it the 3rd time.

I never cared or knew anything about the Original transformers, for me it was a kickass action movie with giant robots and a hot looking girl infused with some nice humor that was totally unexpected. I would recommend it to anyone that still supports the "other side". But for me this movie is dead until it hits Blu-Ray, Paramount has seen the last dollar from me including Cinema releases.

EDIT: Ohh the reason everyone from the HD-DVD side is raving is because this is the only actual solid gain from the Paramount buyout. The rest is old news and old stuff that just isn´t as hot right now. The good thing is that it will die pretty fast leaving them with.......

I never saw the movie and will eventually one day. I can say this, the hype from the HD-DVD will not live up to it. BD is going to win the software sales again, especially with the deals going on every where. Has anyone seen the sales rank from amazon.com right now? WOW!!

Well geez... I should hope BD wins the software sales again with something like a 6:1 hardware ratio! The question I have is why is BD doing so badly with something like 1.74:1 software ratio??

On another note... I certainly like my HD DVD, but I'm inclined to agree... I don't get this Transformer hype. A good movie is something like The God Father, Starwars, or even The Departed... but Transfomers???

IMO... a silly teeny bopper movie right down there in the gutter with Too Fast, Too Furious. And Hollywood wonders why its overall movie sales are slipping?? I'm not even sure I'd waste the time and money watching this on VOD

Check the users score. 81%.


Anyways, whats with people thinking that them buying or not buying a movie is worthy of it's own thread? -_-;;

It's a big deal because it the only thing HD-DVD supporters have to look forward to this winter.

Or maybe its a kickass movie in Hi Def...cant wait!
I dont care if its blu ray, purple ray, pink ray, WHATEVER!
Its on HD DVD so thats what im going to get;)

What do you fanboys get out of being fanboys anyway? Can't you root for a football-team or something instead?? Both formats are here to stay for a long time. Just buy both a PS3 and a cheap HD-DVD player and enjoy all the HD-films.

Most people on AVSforum probably spends lot of money on a receiver, speakers, a projector (or big expensive TV)... You can afford both formats. And IF/WHEN one format dies, you can STILL play the movies you have on the dead format on the player you have. buy the films in the format you believe the most in from Warner, and buy whatever elese you wanna watch from the other studios.

Don't you all get bored with all the format-bickering?

And NO, the few enthusiasts here will not decide/prolong the format "war" no matter what you do. We are too few by far to really matter.

Now, bring on the neutral-boy hate! :)
Or be sensible and buy Transformers on HD-DVD and not friggin DVD!!

Now, bring on the neutral-boy hate! :)
Or be sensible and buy Transformers on HD-DVD and not friggin DVD!!

Here I am!

Format neutral and loathed Transformers. Not even eye candy can justify this stinker!

Should we expect a thread in the HD DVD section "WHat's the big deal about Spiderman 3"?


This thread wouldn't be here if it was coming out on BR. Poor form y'all.

whens thundercats coming out on blu ray???? That should gross alot of money over transformers the movie thats for sure....

This stuff is great. I hope big releases on one format are combated by fire sales on the other side from now on. My average spending per movie purchased on HDDVD and Blu-Ray is about $12-$14, and I don't see that average going anywhere but down as these deals pop up.

As for Transformers, I think it was a fun movie, but I'll wait until it goes on sale. I don't have to have it the day it comes out and drop $30 on it. Especially after spending $50 last night on Amazon for a pile of movies...

The more this goes on, the more I'm convinced both these formats are going to stick around, with the two sides fighting eachother week by week, with us dual format consumers coming out as the big winners. Keep the battle going guys!

Simple answer...REFERENCE HD MEDIA ! ;)

tranzfmer threds r cool

Because you would do the same if it was coming out exclusively on BD. :eek:

Everybody's movie tastes are different. Some people hate a movie, while others love it, and others couldn't care. You get a blockbuster when lots of different people enjoy the same movie.

Transformers is the first really big blockbuster that is a day&date release exclusively on HD DVD. It has plenty of eye candy, and even though it is a lossy DD+ audio track, the early reviews say it is a top notch audio track.

It is the first big test to see if the Paramount/Dreamworks HD DVD exclusive deal was worth it.

Some people (like the BDA and numbers watchers) want to do what they can to keep the sales numbers in their favor.

Therefore, we can cash in on a lot of BD BOGOF offers. :D

Enjoy your favorite movies, guys.

Just the opposite.


Miltiple posts on a thread for a movie you think is horrible. That is truly pathetic ;)
I enjoy both formats and people like you are just as bad as people who rip bad quality and think it doesn't effect the future of HD.

Seriously, you have taken up as much of your time showing how much you dislike HD-DVD that you could have watched the movie already...but at least then you would have only wasted your time ;)

Oh, and while I was watching football yesterday, there was a Transformers commercial that had "blue vs. red" as its theme, referring to the two colors the different Transformers camps. I was ROTFL as I thought about it in "blu vs. red" and the endless bickering and warlording that goes on over these next gen formats.

since I refuse to buy a crappy Tosh Hd player (build quality is junk, load times, disc loading error messages, etc), I guess I'll be missing out on "something big" come this tuesday.

Yup, your loss. Why should the rest of care about your bitter rantings?

:p

I'll rent the DVD and let my PS3 upscale

Same with me when Spiderman 3 comes out!

(insert HD-A2 in for PS3)

I'm still a little confused as to why we are now allowing threads about HD DVD releases on the BR software section.
Have the mods just not seen this thread yet?

It's frustrating when the guy driving a Hyundai refuses to believe a Ferrari's better :D

WHY? If your happy with your Hyundai, then just hold your head up and drive on little guy.

It may be the situation that breaks the camel's back tough. My friend bought a HD DVD player about a month ago as he didn't have the extra bones for a BD player.

He could care less about Transformers and sees all the BOGOs for BD. He feels (right or wrong) this is a wake up call and it's time to return it and get a BD player. Also, Blockbuster by us now has 200 BDs!!

I'm still a little confused as to why we are now allowing threads about HD DVD releases on the BR software section.
Have the mods just not seen this thread yet?

Good question. I didn't realize it was in the Blu-Ray section 'till I read your post.

But, I would imagine it has something to do with Transformers being exclusive to HD-DVD, so naturally some Blu-Boys will have to have a thread saying what a horrible movie it is anyway,

Same as "We only watch the Movie, we don't need extras" people.

I think the movie will look awesome in HD, can't wait to see it. I hope it has a lot of extras too!

It's a big deal because it the only thing HD-DVD supporters have to look forward to this winter.

eh, not true. But whatever, I'll be buying Transformers HD DVD for sure....although that is after buying 12 blu-rays this weekend.

I know why it was posted.
I'm curious as to why it hasn't been deleted yet.

I don't see threads on their other section trashing POTC or SM3. Is it because the mods won't allow them, or they just have more dignity?

What, exactly, was the purpose of starting this thread?

Better question is what does it really have to do with Blu Ray?

And since I refuse to buy a crappy Tosh Hd player (build quality is junk, load times, disc loading error messages, etc)

Is this guy for real? I had to sell my Pioneer BDP-LX70 Blu-ray player for the exact same reasons he has stated.Apart from everything the build quality and that goes for the toshiba as well is fine.I ended up with the ps3 as a blu-ray player.

BTW Transformers is an awesome film.I don't care for people reviews,I've seen many reviews where the reviewers were wrong.

This thread is an act of desperation and jealosy from one Rieper!!

What, exactly, was the purpose of starting this thread?

yeh i second it.
since the avs is here to learn something,this thread sounds like lets bash hd dvd.
i enjoy both formats but this thread also sounds like im still pissed at paramount for dumping blu-ray.
this war could go one way or another so i say relax,if bd wins the studios will be back if not you will have to go hd dvd...relax:)

I thought it was one of the best movies of the summer. Great eye candy, incredible sound, leave your brain at the door story. It would have been a great addition to Blu-ray.

Watched it 3 times in the theatre including the 1 time in Imax so my Transformers thirst is fullfilled for now. I still can't believe that Paramount is shafting the HD DVD owners with no lossless audio. Well looking at the numbers in my sig, I shouldn't be that surprised.

paramount did the same thing with dvd.
it was dd 5.1 for years. then they went dd and dts...no surprize here.:)

One more day!! I can't wait!!! :D :D

Yup. There's a lot of very small detail in the film, and a lot of wide-angle shots of various things, which I think is where HD shines the most.. enhancing the clarity of distant objects that become blurry smudges in SD. This one film is the reason I was so upset at Paramount's decision regarding HD. Everything else from them was take-it-or-leave-it as far as I was concerned, but I really wanted to see Transformers on Blu-ray.

so get a hd dvd player.
if you were able to buy a bd player you could get a hd dvd player at there prices.

Transformers is nothing more than an Special effects movie with terrible plotting/acting. It might have been a great demo disc if they had included lossless audio. I'll wait for the special edition with Lossless audio, though it may not possible until if/when it shows up on Blu-ray.

^^^ LoL, and lossless audio Is going to make the movie better? Your missing out.

^^^ LoL, and lossless audio Is going to make the movie better? Your missing out.

Ain't missing out on much. (e.g. Look at the Rottentomatoes ratings...those folks probably think there should be decent plotting/character development/acting... etc in movie releases). There's a ton of movies coming out on the next couple of months which take higher priority. And then there are the classic movies to start buying up.

my gosh there are Transformers threads all over AVS :o
