I wonder if this will be as weak as the last two. Probably.
To be fair, Transformers has some of the best sound effects I’ve heard in a while. I think people don’t realize how amazing the sound is compared to the visuals, and then get tricked into believing that the visuals are incredible.
When actually the visuals are alright (great effects but terrible action sequences), but consistently superb sound.
Have to admit, this looks awesome… Did they actually use a script this time? Seems like there’s some kind of story. Odd.
No. Way. Michael Bay will continue to redefine cinema by eliminating the script entirely. No pencil-necked poindexter in a sweater-vest is gonna tell the Master of the Cinema Universe what to shoot.
I’m so glad bay is back making serious adult films, this has best picture Oscar written all over it. Just from the snippets I also think next year we will see a Victorias secret model in contention for best actress.
it’s in 3D!
ahhh 3D! Hollywood’s turd polish…
Dude. Bro. How else can the major boobage and ‘splosions smack you in the face unless you have 3D? Haters gotta hate…
More Illuminati programming! Open your eyes people! They’re laughing at us. What’s up with all these studios making the same found footage space and moon movies? That Apollo 18 movie at The Weinstein Company and the Dark Moon movie at Warner Bros are going to look like such a copycats now.
Whack job alert! Whack job alert!
what are the chances cronkite comes back from the grave so he can have a word with michael bay for putting him in this?
Old man Cronkite will rise from the grave. To toss Michael Bay a Four Loko and shoot him a bro-fist for putting him in such an awesome movie!
As they zoom in on the eye of the transformer at the end of the trailer, can someone explain to me the function of having a bunch of razor blades and tiny buzz saws in the iris of a transformer’s eye? Does it help it to see better? Because I don’t really get the optical advantage of engineering razor blades in a damn eye, nor that is provides much protection compared to just putting a cornea on it.
And for that matter, does anyone know whether NASA space suits circa 1969 actually had a special flip up visor? I guess the astronauts back then just never cared enough about getting that “clearer look” sans that pesky gold protective layer – or removing the gold layer would expose you to fatal irradiation from direct rays from the sun.
Lastly, can anyone explain how some really advanced robots screwed up so badly on intergalactic navigation that they crashed into the moon? They can get interstellar transit right. They mastered the engineering feat of being giant transforming robots right, but somehow, in charting the course for intergalactic travel, they accidentally crashed into Earth’s moon. And obviously not too violently, as the ship looks pretty intact. How does that work?
Oh right, its Michael Bay! We’re supposed to just eat popcorn and not think. Duh. My bad everyone, carry on.
“Lastly, can anyone explain how some really advanced robots screwed up so badly on intergalactic navigation that they crashed into the moon?”
In case you didn’t know, the Autobots and Decepticons are at war.
When he “transforms”, the razor blades won’t be in his eyes. That’s just where they go when he is in robot form.
Here’s a better question: why is it that when advanced artificial robotic life forms with the knowledge necessary for interstellar travel get together for a war, they PUNCH EACH OTHER WITH THEIR FISTS?
These movies are so tiresome… at least there’s no Sam Witwicky in this trailer. Blehhhhh.
I guess Dark Side of the Moon was already taken. With that said, what is up with this title? It’s not even proper grammar.
I sure hope the soundtrack does not do something like an Us and Them cover by some emo group like My Chemical Romance!
Dark of the Moon? That’s as bad as Bright of the Sun.
i know a couple bands that i wish to be on the soundtrack linkin park the used taking back sunday and my chemical romance and chemical romances album danger days the true lives of the fabulous killjoys does not have emo music in it
“Dark of the moon” is actually a term used by astrologists to describe the last three days of the solar cycle, when the moon can’t be seen at night.
Pass. Would rather see Bay’s behind the scene sex tape with the new victoria secret “actress”
Good Lord, what a piece of shit!
Wow that was pretty lame. I can’t wait to catch more overly designed robots fight it out in 2 hours of mess on Blueray / DVD. I will not be duped again after the crap fest of the last film. Hopefully Steven Spielberg was able to talk some sense in Michael Bay this time out.
Paramount also has higher resolution versions of the trailer in the usual places, so you don’t have to watch a YouTube version. Uh… *Exclusive! Updated!* …?
I feel so sorry for the kids who have to watch this and think this is what their parents thought was so cool when they were growing up.
Part 1, terrible. Part 2, terrible. Part 3 teaser, terrible.
Definitely one to keep your name off of Spielberg.
Whatever happened to that poor extra who got injured on set?
It looks crass, lowest common denominator, and just plain stupid so it should make about a billion dollars.
More like a trillion dollars. That’s right. A trillion. So much coin that Transformers 4 will actually be filmed in space, and oxygen will be vented into the vacuum to ensure ‘splosion supremacy! Shia is also the world’s greatest actor, living or dead, imho.
I don’t get why they’d want too many miniture-sharp moving parts on the robots? What’s the relevance? It makes me think that they assume their audience will be kindergarten kids that will watch in awe to all of those useless moving parts…
But I haven’t managed to finish watching the 2nd installment yet. Oh, bother!
part 1 was terrific summer eye candy that didn’t take itself too seriously.
part 2 was an abomination of every kind.
this teaser is fantastically done, and has all the elements that would go into making a good movie about robots turning into modes of transportation. it’s a summer blockbuster, but it’s also co-produced by Hasbro. chill out, everyone.
I, for one, believe (perhaps naively) the crew when they say that they knew part 2 was bad and that they want to bring it back to the vibe of part 1. i’ll be there.
“part 1 was terrific summer eye candy that didn’t take itself too seriously.
part 2 was an abomination of every kind.”
While I agree I think they tried to make part 1 as realistic as they could. Part 2 was garbage. Hopefully they end the trilogy on a high note.
Someone been watching 1964′s First men in the Moon again?
Haha so much hate over an effing teaser.
Why does the robot have a metal beard lol
The teaser trailer looks very good. Hopefully this movie can be better than part 2 which was beyond terrible. As for the title I hate to break it to you but that has been the title now for awhile. Nothing new on that front.
Can all of you people hush! The last movie was done during the writers strike so they were writing on the fly. This will return to the firsts roots except darker and on a bigger scale than both two combined. Its an entertaining franchise, if you go into a robot movie thinking its going to have a award winning story your about as dumb as the people you put down everyday.
The conceit is kinda cool… my inner 10 year old just smiled. That being said, Bay will most likely fuck it up. TF2 was an abortion!
I kept waiting for them to actually SHOW a Transformer. Fail.
Michael Bay has not one, but two… count ‘em two Criterion DVDs.
Yeah the second Transformers was horrible, but so were a lot of other big Blockbusters that were hit by the WGA strike.
I’m not saying Michael Bay is a great director, but he is good at the type of flicks he does.
While part was nowhere near the source material of the 1985 film (or cartoons) it was fun if you think of it not as a transformer movie. Part 2 was terrible beyond belief. Robots with giant balls, moms getting high off brownies, fart jokes, ghetto robots etc etc. It’s sad to see a storyline as rich as LOTR, Star Wars and Harry Potter reduced to fart jokes and robot testicles. While this teaser trailer looks interesting it doesn’t make sense because the first two movies are present day and are laughfest. The teaser looks serious and suspenseful which we know isn’t the case considering the cast and its a Bay film.
