[MatsHolden]

Here's a preview of the Autobots for Transformers 2. The Centennial concept looks great.

Bumblebee still looks like a stunner. I'm guessing the centennial is the silver things? the others look kinda...poor...lol
Check out the SUV, it's almost the size of the rig:eek:

[ROCCO]

[sooty]

[poita]

[Orion_996]

holy moly, i'm as giddy as a school girl now.. the original trailer didn't do much for me but now... GODDAMN!

[Shay]

saw the trailer at the cinema's, think id rather watchin at home, almost too high def for the movies...

[reedaaron]

looks very nice... can't wait! one i might actually get to the movies to see :p

[DirtyHarry]

yeah i dont know about this transformer movies.
i wish they didnt make the robots too over the top. by that i mean they could make them look more like the original cartoon characters, not like a robot that was put together with 10 million different pieces. for example megatron looks like scrap metal welded together.

[daiflu]

I don't like how silly the FBI (or whoever they are) guys act.

Looks good, but I'm hangin for G.I. Joe more :cornut:

[DirtyHarry]

"G.I. Joe"
jesus, arent hollywood movie writers running out of ideas. seems like theve lost all types creativity. For examplel, if you watch a dirty harry or clint eastwood movie, sure its simple, but its so much more creative and entertaining.

[btm]

bring it on! cant wait

[hazrd]

goddammit

youtube @ work fail

[9090GO]

The blue one looks like the Honda civic or Accord euro...

[DirtyHarry]

megan fox is horrible now, have you seen all the plastic surgery she had done.
what a shame.
she looked like a nice hoe that you could chop in the first movie, but now she looks like a doformity that came out of a toxic waste dump.

Michael Bay has said there is about 40 robots in this movie. But by most calculations on TF forums, there are only about 30+ max. They got a much bigger budget to work on this sequel based on the exceeded income generated from the 1st movie.

The thing I dont like is that Bayformers's charatacter names doesnt stick with the original G1 series name. Like how he messed up Barricade's apperance and Devastator's name in the 1st movie and yet Devastator is appearing in the sequel as a combiner.

Nearly full list of characters:
Autobots:
Optimus Prime (blue, dark red Peterbilt 379EX)
Bumblebee (yellow 2010 Chevy Camaro)
Ratchet (lime yellow 2009 Hummer H3)
Ironhide (black 2007 GMC Topkick C4500)
Jetfire (SR-71 Blackbird) (can merge with Optimus)
Arcee (Made up of 3 different motorcycles that combine to make her - pink/purple/blue)
The Twins - Skids (Chevy Beat) and Mudflap (Chevy Trax)
Jolt (Chevy Volt)
Sideswipe (Corvette StingRay concept)
Wheelie (Remote Control Truck)

Decepticons:
The Fallen (Cybertronian jet)
Megatron (Cybertronian tank)
Starscream (Gray F-22 Raptor)
Scorponok (Metallic scorpion)
Barricade (black 2008 S281 Extreme Mustang)
Soundwave (Cybertron mode satellite (Earth mode pickup truck?)
Ravage
Devastator -Scavenger, Overload, Scrapper, Long Haul Mix Master, High Tower, Rampage (YES - 7 of them to combine 1 big mean decepticon)
Sideways - Audi R8


Spoilers:
Megatron is coming back, so does Scorponok who didnt die but hide away in the 1st movie. Barricade is also back. Rumours of Blackout is also back but not verified. And sadly Jazz is not making a comeback according to Mr. Bay himself.

Ok. A little insight. The Fallen is the ultimate bad guy in the movie, he's the one that created Decepticons. He is one of the original transformers in the beginning of Cybertron together with Prime(not Optimus). The Prime is the one that created Autobots. Optimus is like a descendant from Prime, hence the name Optimus Prime. And well they say the Fallen can teleport!

And if case you are wondering, I love transformers and have grown up with them and still growing!

[GodsKnight]

I cannot wait for this movie!!
DIDO i saw Star Trek last night and saw the full trailer for it...it looks unreal!!

[tomtom]

the volt actually looks quite nice.

[Neeko]

THE
MOVIE
WAS
BREATHTAKING!

better than the first IMO

Nice run down description :)

I just hope this whole Transformers movie excitment dosn't increase the number of cars out there that'll be plastered with Transfermers stickers on them, especially on the fuel flap covers LOL :lol:

What a ridiculous sight they are :rolleyes:

The reviews have been overwhelmingly negative :( I suppose letting the idiot Bay at anything will result in that. Will go see it at IMAX on 1/2 price tuesday :)

a critic is a critic, its his personal opinion. Any movie that has this kinda work involved in it should deserve 5 stars instantly.

I couldnt even fathom the thought of the effort and amount of time, skill etc. that went into this movie.
It gets 10/5 stars from me.

[mzsammi]

yey bring on gold class sunday night :P cant waittttttttttttt i best be finding my disguise for the night lol

LOL... there is more to a movie than the "effort" involved in making it ;) Most of the action in Transformers 2 is CGI... not much effort in that.

I am sure it is entertaining. :)

[Brazza]

I have 6 and a half hours to wait and counting...

[glider]

LOL... there is more to a movie than the "effort" involved in making it ;) Most of the action in Transformers 2 is CGI... not much effort in that.

I am sure it is entertaining. :)

you ever done any animation yourself? it still takes a lot of effort... even getting robotic movement to look good isn't that easy...

[Neeko]

LOL... there is more to a movie than the "effort" involved in making it ;) Most of the action in Transformers 2 is CGI... not much effort in that.

it would be shit load of effort!

[HoldenAstra]

the fight needs more details, more slow motion:D

the Astra in it is really tough:yikes:

[ROCCO]

Megan Fox....im sur those boobies are fake!!

[MatsHolden]

Couldn't be more wrong actually...

[Noir]

Watched it last night, and I agree it is better than the first.

[mzsammi]

do i hafta see the first movie ?? to understand this one lol

[xplosv57]

do i hafta see the first movie ?? to understand this one lol

Possibly, but i'd suggest watching the first movie because it's awesome!!! :D

wow. just. wow. mr i know everything. has proved. he doesnt

[rjastra]

wow. just. wow. mr i know everything. has proved. he doesnt

LOL... it took so much effort the movie (over 2.5 hrs) , from concept to release, took less than 2 years. They whip this CGI stuff out in no time nowadays.

[MatsHolden]

They whip this CGI stuff out in no time nowadays.

You have to know about 3D rendering and animation to have an appreciation. You obviously don't know.

- All robot parts laid out end to end would stretch from one side of California to the other, about 180 miles. (Gives you an idea of the number of parts that needed to be modelled!)

- frame render times: As high as 72 hours per frame!

- If you rendered the entire movie on a modern home PC, you would have had to start the renders 16,000 years ago.

- If all the texture maps on the show were printed on 1 square yard sheets, they would cover 13 football fields.

CGI doesn't just happen, people have to spend hours modelling and rendering...

[mania]

LOL... it took so much effort the movie (over 2.5 hrs) , from concept to release, took less than 2 years. They whip this CGI stuff out in no time nowadays.

The number of manhours spent in cgi would have exceeded most live-action action films. Just because you can have dozens of people work on each robot simultaneously doesn't mean it's easy or quick to do... just easy to divide the labour.

[daiflu]

saw this tonight. The CGI was amazing.
Was dissapointed with the story and some of the characters, especially the getto gangsta attitude they've given some of the autobots.
All in all not a bad film.

totally agree! I actually prefer the story line of the first one over the second. Megans acting was quite poor IMO...

[GreyRex]

I agree as well

First one was better for storyline / focus on the cars

I still enjoyed the second one though

[xplosv57]

I didn't mind it, a bit all over the place storyline wise for me, a few dead ends, but definetely some great work, and also glad alot of the old cast was in it!!!

Plus i loved the cars (especially my updated Camaro) but my highlight was the SR-71 Blackbird, most people probably wouldn't know or recognise it, but for plane buffs, a very cool plane!!

[GreyRex]

What was with the mum going nuts in the second one?

She was somewhat funny in the first one, but a bit ott in the newer one

[mzsammi]

i loved it :)
im not a sooky person with movies but got a lil teary haha must be my old age .
loved it loved it loved it

oh and i watched the first one and was hooked

the second i saw it I yelled out Holy Crap a blackbird! That old Decepticon (now Autobot) knew how its done :cool:

I'm also very certain this movie was aimed more at Gen Y

[poita]

being 20, im pretty sure your Gen Y Neeko :p

[Neeko]

being 20, im pretty sure your Gen Y Neeko :p

This being the reason why i loved every second of it :D
I want to see it again already :(

[Wraith]

but my highlight was the SR-71 Blackbird, most people probably wouldn't know or recognise it, but for plane buffs, a very cool plane!!

Havn't seen the movie yet, but being a plane buff I'd spot that one out too :)

Despite being a fossil now and long retired, the SR-71 certainly is an imagination inspiring and still a very awesome looking aircraft and still holds several unbroken records :)

[Wraith]

That may be true - Gen Y don't need good story lines or dialogue, just action sequences and graphics to make em happy :p but regarding the SR-71, it's most probably there because of its looks, despite its age (don't know if it even relates to a Gen whatever since it was concieved in the 1950's) it still has a very sharp and modern look, as do quite a few other military and fighter jets from that era ;) hell they even had one sitting static in "I am legend" :lol:

in the movie it is sitting in a museum lol
ur spot on with gen y though, its the action that sucks us in.

Not a Donnie Darko movie :lol:

[Senor Ed]

Saw the movie yesterday.....


Pretty crap movie TBH....but that's my opinion. lol


Went for too long....too cheesy......too many changes in the plot....but the cars and action was awesome....hopefully the next one is better because I was a fan of the first one.

[Shay]

i will be seein it tonight :cornut:

[Shay]

WOW.




dam no caps

[Neeko]

WOW.

i did tell ya :cornut:

[Wraith]

Not a Donnie Darko movie :lol:

Arrgghh... Donnie Darko, what a classic remember talking about that one with work collegues after seeing it years ago - very strange movie that was, scary bunny and all LOL :)

And that actor Jake Gillinhaul ??? or whatever his name is, everyone refers to him as Donnie Darko instead of his real name since he made that movie LOL.

I think that's pretty much what everyones expecting, great action and graphic effects, but not much of a storyline or intelligent content, but hey most action flicks these days fit into that category :)

[Neeko]

Well I watched the movie again last night and stick by what i mentioned the first time.

What an amazing movie. Couldn't believe how much I missed the first time I watched it, this time I payed a lot more attention to detail and found myself always repeating the word WOW :lol: Like someone else has mentioned, what a cinematic experience, the sounds, the action, megan fox.

I did miss the part where Optimus Prime becomes Blackbird Prime though was a bit distracted (;))

i really enjoyed that movie, took me a while to figure out whats going on though. Doubt many people would figure out the plot the first time they watch it.

Love that scary bunny lol

[SIMid]

Pretty crap movie TBH....but that's my opinion. lol


+1

Massive let down. If the CGI wasnt good enough, I would have walked out.

[hazrd]

loved it

[sooty]

+1...amazing movie, on par with the first...
