I've been pretty pumped about the prospect of a new Transformers movie, given the hype. 1st movie IMO was dumb entertaining fun, 2nd one actually managed to be boring and entirely offputting minus a few set pieces...

Now I've seen the full trailer for DOTM, and Jesus, I've gotta say wtf is wrong with the moon scene's cgi? Fucking terrible.

When you look at the still shots of course they'll look worse. When you watch I'm sure they won't be as bad.

One of the oldest hero/villian tropes. The heroes miriad colors/sizes/shapes represent diversity while the villians uniform gunmetal color and samey design represents the lockstep conformity of oppression.

They've been doing it like that forever, really. Just look at Star Wars.

>implying most cgi looks good when its not moving.

These things weren't made to be scrutinized frame by frame, they are made to be in fast motions for quick shots, and they look fine.

No one is questioning the quality of michael bay's cgi.

This to. Screenshots don't do Bay's films justice due to their kinetic nature. People who bitch about them in motion, however?

I have a friend who's blind in one eye and a little slow due to a head injury sustained in an accident. She saw RotF with me and when I said people complained that they couldn't tell what was going on during the action scenes she just said, "If I could tell what's going on then those people must be slower than me."

It is hard enough to shoot a movie on the moon, and then they have to put cgi on top of it.

Agree with your point on the first films, though to me the second film was more of the same effects wise and therefor also good.

Of course I actually liked Revenge of the Fallen as a film, and on /tv/ that apparently negates my opinion on everything. Cause, ya know, we're not allowed to like what we want on /tv/.

Pic related.

I'm all about film immersion: story can be weak, etc., but if the film manages to keep me immersed, then I walk away sort of approving of it. T2 had several elements sorta yanked me out of the film--the lame first meeting and dialogue between the Fallen and megatron was one, the ridiculous, cartoony design of the destructicon or whatever...

So much for you knowing your Transformers: it was the Constructicons, and if you could actually put them together in a less "cartoonish" manner well, go for it.

Worked for me given the construction vehicles it was assembled from.

You kids need to get the fuck outta the basements, learn to set aside the critical factor for a bit and just enjoy the god damned movies, for fuck's sake.

No wonder you all need drugs 24/7, you're all fucking useless whiners.

Nice try though. Also, they've been alternatively called "Combiners" and "Gestalt Forms" since the original series in the 80's.

Some people (read: alot of people, more than the critical establishment is willing to admit) like his films, and CG effects are merely the bane of oldfags who grew up with miniatures and blue screens. If you don't go overboard with CGI like in the Star Wars prequels (lol no sets) then there's nothing wrong with it.

One of the few things I miss about Tennant's Doctor. Like Tennant himself he was a walking hard-on, who it was implied (and explictly started, good queen bess, etc) was shagging everything that moved.

Although I do like that Smith portrays his Doctor, as a old fuddy duddy who hasn't had sex for a long time and is slowly having a mid-life romance with River, which he's embarassed about at first.
