 Best Science Fiction Since the Matrix December 5, 2008
I was dissapointed when i learnt it was only out for HD-Dvd, until now. The visual effects are stunning the sound is crisp and it all helps when its on High Definition, Blu-Ray. Megan Fox was a bonus, Shia LaBeouf is a talented upcoming young actor. And I can't compare it to any film since the release of the Matrix Blu Ray which i have to get.
 Please transform into a better film. November 26, 2008

Where do I start with this complete mess of a film? Hmmm, well I suppose the first thing to mention is that this is not a Transformers film, at least not at all related to the original cartoon upon which it is meant to be based. Even if you forget that (the writers, producers and director clearly did) the film spends so much time away from the Transformers that it could be a sequel to Independence Day! Why do we need to see douche bag hackers and military personnel scratching their heads over computer screens? This stuff has been done before loads of times, and far better than this. Then we have boring scenes with goofball US soldiers talking about home, etc, all of which carries no plot or even the most simple character based story arc. I've heard that Spielberg pitched this to the writers as a story about "a boy and his car"....well if that's true then A: It fails, and B: It should be about giant ROBOTS!!! Who cares about a boy getting his first car??
In summary, plot holes come and go, the action scenes are badly staged and cut too fast, none of the Transformers spend enough time on screen to become a character that we care about, all the humans are annoying stereotypes, the film is too long and boring (Michael Bay hang your head in shame) and worst of all the Transformers are little more than cameos.
The only good thing about this film is the special effects, but that should be a given in this age of photo real CGI. Yeah, yeah the Blu-Ray transfer is superb, etc, of course it is.
Go and check out Transformers The Movie (the animation from the 80's), it's infinitely better than Big Bang Bay's miserable effort.
Woah.. What just happened?! October 19, 2008
Tell you what, this film was AMAZING! The CGI was so detailed and realistic (well.. as realistic as giant transforming robots can be!). I originally rented this on DVD, but got it on Blu-Ray earlier this week.
I'd never compare this to the Back to the Future trilogy, but if you liked those films, you want some amazing scenes and some all round fun, this is definitely for you.
Absolutly brilliant October 7, 2008
I bought this film from Amazon and watched it full 1080p and i have to say, this was the best movie experience i have ever had, and the best movie i have watched i ages!
The graphics and story from start to finish was inspiring! i urge anyone considering this and most defiantly via blu-ray, go straight out and get it, you will not be disappointed!
My new favourite Bluray showoff movie October 6, 2008

The film is good fun, but this review is about the bluray disc.
Excellent picture. Had a friend round to watch it, he has seen films on my system before (sony 40 inch bravia with PS3) but his jaw was dropping to the ground on this.
The CGI in particular is stunning on the Bluray disc, every time I watch it I notice some new bit of detail on the robots, though generally every scene is of very high visual quality.
The sound is available on DTS HD, which is very good, although it is a pity they did not go for linear uncompressed.
As I say the sound is very good, all channels are clear and crisp and the bass in particular is impressive.
This bluray disc is a brilliant showpiece for your home cinema system.
