Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)


Recommended Posts

Yup, plus you have to remember, Megatron's body at that point was pieces of his original body, mashed up with a couple grunt decepticons from his resurrection, with even more garage modifications apparently between movie 2 and 3. By this point I'd say it's safe to say he was nowhere near his original strength, plus he was kinda off his rocker after losing so many times. Overall I think the point they were trying to convey was that this Megatron is not the same as he was in the first movie.

that or you can't have two major antagonists. Remember, the 1st and 2nd movies were all about Megatron. The third one, not so much, it was more towards Sentinel Prime. Just think, even Shockwave (as big of a character as he is) is just filler. I'm just happy Soundwave got more screen time! :D

IMO The Fallen was the central antagonist in the second movie.

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Leonard Nimoy's voice. I especially liked the reference to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

While pretty much everyone seems to have caught the obvious one, did you catch the subtle one that I mentioned earlier

(the "my friend" in Bumblebee's farewell to Sam)

?

Enjoyed it a lot! Love the twist on the Apollo missions and history. A lot of re-used footage though (Not just the island scenes... or the missile room footage... ) but the re-use of Apollo footage and nixon etc was all great. However it was pretty obvious when they switched to newly recorded stuff...

I caught that one as well because I always pay extra attention to Bumblebee's radio voices. :)

Saw it tonight in 3d.

Only seen a few 3d films and this was by far the best.

i also think its probably the best of the trilogy.

i didn't pay atttention to the depth of the script of anything, but the NSA general lady with blonde hair annoyed the hell out of me.

if she was in charge of the autobots being on earth or w/e her role was, surely she would have known about Sam and what he has done and why he should be involved in everything, rather than try stopping him being involved. her attitude to it all was one thing that annoyed me in the movie

i would also have liked to have known

where the other tiny robot came from (not the one from T2) and also where the other new autobots came from. AND finally, what about the other decepticons that were all over the planet, i find it hard to believe that no more than approx 10 autobots survived and escaped cybertron but theres 100's of decepticons

Overall, for what it was, its clearly going to be my favourite movie.

They kept calling her national intelligence director which could be the person who oversees all of the intelligence in out country. But the title is Director of National Intelligence so maybe it's something else.

they stated their ship brought the second wave of autobots. And as for the number of deceptions with the autobots losing wouldn't it make sense that there would be more of the other side?

Caught that, wasn't that subtle. Did you catch

:laugh:

yeah my bad on that. Was trying to make a point. lol.

It's not wrong if someone says they didn't like the film. It generally means they are unique to you.

Generally, I found Transformers 3 boring with some fun action sequences and interesting scenes. Some scenes had amazing direction but the mass of the film was a bore for me.

At times Transformers 3 really felt special like the old cartoons, though it would just end up coming back to watching weird uninteresting scenes.

I'm not a grump, but I was disappointed to see young children watching this film with humans flesh being vaporised on screen and so much swearing and insulting.

The parent can't be fully to blame for taking their kids to a film like this and subjecting them to, in the children's eyes, cool robots swearing at each other. Parents trust the rating, which has clearly failed.

If I had taken my kids to this film I'd have gotten up and walked out.

I have no idea about the rating that it got in the UK (it isn't listed on IMDB), but here in the US, it got a PG-13 rating:

Rated PG-13 for intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo
, which I think is reasonable. And yes, it is very much the parents fault if they take a young child to see a movie like this without seeing it themselves first. My wife and I went to see it first before allowing our son to see it, even though he has watched the other two movies.

:laugh:

It was subtle enough that my wife didn't catch it until I pointed it out, although she has only ever seen The Wrath of Kahn maybe once or twice (she isn't a huge Star Trek fan like me). Certainly not obvious enough for most non-Trekkies to catch it. And yes, I caught that one as well.

I think PG-13 was the appropriate rating. There was not as much language as in the 2nd one and the people getting vaporized was only in the foreground in one real scene.

Newsflash: Kids hear swearing all day long at school.

I think PG-13 was the appropriate rating.

PG-13 is the US rating, I can't seem to find a reference for what it was rated in the UK (where SPARTdAN lives).

edit: OK, it seems it is rated 12A which is roughly equivalent to our PG-13 rating.

Personally I liked the money. It wasn't a classic or anything near that, but it was a fun, mindless two hours of violence. That's what I was expecting and they delivered that perfectly.

Pretty much my opinion of it. thumbs_up.gif

I didn't go in expecting anything profound, I knew what I was going to get long before the movie hit the cinemas and I was fine with it.

what?. What movie did you see?. It was ****. Completely pile of ****. The acting of that ****ing crap actor and the now with the new michael bay sex toy. Come on!.

Where was the violence?. I only see in 3D an old couple dressed in GREEN with sexual problems. His MOMMY has sexual (orientations? ya, why not) problems and his father has erectile problems. Thats all I saw. IN 3D!!.

The new sex toy was alright, I would like see her acting sometime, but you cant explect that much from a doll. The rest of the movie was more of the same if not worse. The CGI is getting ****ty, every movie more and the script, well, who the **** want a script when you want to see explosions?. but f*** that.

They all seems to be hysterical and with sexual problems. In fact I think is based on the michael bay personality, it has an emotion of a 40 years post menopausal woman, that little piece of ****. Millionaire, but a piece of ****. hysterical piece of ****.

**** you michael bay, give me my ****ing money back, you ****in thief!

Lol, over dramatic much?

He didn't force you to go see it, it was pretty damn obvious what the film was going to be like from the previous two and the reviews, you have only yourself to blame for spending money to go to the cinema to see it.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
