I saw robots humping and dogs humping but did not witness robot dogs humping.

I think avatar posted that without having seen the film yet.

It's not the first time I've heard that little robot (What was its name?  So many silly robots in the movie it's hard to keep track...) likened to a canine though.  It was actually starting to grow on me until the humping shot... the third one of the movie.  That's gotta be some kind of record for an action film, no?

That would be Wheelie.

Not sure I'd constitute a total number of three as "so many silly robots", though.  There's Wheelie, and the twins Skids and Mudflap -- four, if you want to count old-man Jetfire.

I always read Mudflap as Mudkip. I don't know why.

Also, Jetfire is in the movie? Flippin' awesome.

Fine, change "so many silly robots" to "too many silly robots".  Semantics

And yes, I include Jetfire in that tally.  (Idolores, it is not the Jetfire you remember.  And this is even by the adaptation standards of the first movie.)

Saw this yesterday.  I'm happy that Bay addressed my criticism of the cinematography in the first film and made it so you can actually enjoy the fight scenes in this one.  For a movie with a mere 35 on Metacritic, I have to admit that it was entertaining, if way too long.

You know, I find it kind of odd that in two threads about the Transformers movies, no one has talked about the skit in Clerks 2 that talks about the first one coming out:

Ok, so some dumb executive made a decision and released a Wal-Mart (US Stores only) IMAX version blu-ray edition of Transformers 2.  This is why I hate dealer exclusives (esp when one is Canadian like myself) - we usually get the shaft from the US.  and I find this out after I bought mine from Future Shop, cause I just blindly thought there'll just be the same version everywhere. (That'll lurn me in future. =p)

But, on the flip side, Canadian Future Shop stores have a nice exclusive Steelbook case to go along with the regular blu-ray edition of the movie (it's sitting right beside me at work here).  For a movie like this, I don't really care about a Steelbook case, but other people might.  I'd prefer a blu-ray edition with the IMAX footage so I can watch in splendor on my 55" Sony Bravia XBR8 LED television.

Does anyone here want to do a straight up trade?  Steelbook version for IMAX version?  Let me know.

I feel sorta icky for double-dipping on this release, but I knew I wanted to pick up the DVD too, just so that I could try and crack the encryption.  (Kind of a quirky hobby I picked up, trying to see how easy it is to one-up new movie releases by getting past their copy protections -- and the harder they are, the better.)  Revenge of The Fallen appears to have a crap-load of encryptions totally new to hackers, including one that, quite inconveniently, has made it so that it doesn't work on many region-free players.

I think I've almost narrowed down the VOBs and the title set reference number that's preventing a clean rip.  As it is now, the movie plays up in fragments -- so it's quite comical to watch the Shanghai sequence at the start, and just as Optimus is about to finish off Demolishor, the end credits pop up. :p

I got around to watching Fallen on Blu-ray this weekend.  While a second viewing in the comfort of one's home does nothing to rectify the inherent flaws of the movie (the Egypt battle actually felt unbearably longer than in the theaters), the audio/visual quality on the Blu-ray is positively SICK.  Each frame bleeds cutting edge, and every second of the film is a sonic-socking treat.  This is undoubtedly the most technically impressive film I've experienced on the format yet.

According to the December issue of DISCOVER, the film's digital master file is 160 terabytes (I remember there was a rumor a few months ago that a supercomputer melted in an attempt to render Devastator). Bay stated, "Effects of that high a resolution have never been done before".
  While I didn't like the movie as a form of intellectual entertainment, I have to admit it's impressive that all the robots are real digital constructions. If they were somehow built, they would transform as seen on screen.

Nah, they cheat on some of the models in transformation.
