4k version out finally 
Associate
Nice, been waiting for this after reading on here that it's actually not a bad movie.4k version out finally
I preferred Bumblebee to this. It wasn't terrible, but a few things seemed to drag it back. Story was just parts of all the previos Bay films mashed together. The Optimus doesnt look as good or detailed as the Bay version. Seems to shiny as well and his mouth looks weird when he talks. All the autobots look shiny for some reason, although the bad guys and the beasts didn't. The main human spoke a bit too "street" for lack of a better description. Scale of the robots compared to everything else seemed to be inconsistent (maybe). Stratosphere was big enough when flying to easily hold everyone. he should have been ginormous when in Robot mode!

This started out with potential. Quickly and badly turned downwards in trend.
I will never respect a single Transformers movie (so all of them) that does not use this noise.
At least this film doesn't have a Michael Bay 1m cuts per scene brain aneurism style.
However the CGI is more than terrible. It's like they're using old Vertex lighting. None of the Autobots look real.

Excuse me, but you're missing the best Transformers film to exist there... Which does indeed use that noise.
Hmm Transformers The Movie is animated so I hadn't included it in the "Films" although it's technically one, it's the "Cartoon"

It's the OG and the best film. With the best soundtrack too.
Terrible movie, especially the human actors. I honestly don’t know how they find such terrible actors? Maybes it’s poor directing but it’s also not like there’s a lack of actor options.
Watched the other movies recently, and they gradually got worse; trying to compensate with more explosions. Bumblebee was decent though.
Honestly, drop the human companions and focus more on the Primals vs Unicron story.

That's the thing though, it would have retconnned the whole story, as it is I still don't get how it works..
In the first one the Autobots land on earth like meteors. Yet they are already on earth in the 90s, ten years prior.
How did no one notice the giant in the sky and not know about the Transformers before finding Megatron.
If this was shown in this movie, I missed it.
Yea, the whole series is very disorganised; feels like they changed their mind every movie.
They do a lot of things without explaining it, and sometimes they’ll vaguely explain a thought and then it happens in the background. The storytelling is a huge issue.

Decent evening entertainment.
I liked the sound cinematography, very vivid, very loud, very cinematic. I like the musical score throughout, I liked Mirage, that's one cool cat, also I liked the classic 911.
So a lot to like, made up for the things that were not to like.

Solid 3 or 4 out of 10 movie. Pretty much the same plot points as any Transformers movie from the last 15 years. CGI was absolutely terrible in places. Race related stuff in the first 30 minutes unnecessary / too heavy handed. The ending
was one of the most cringe things I’ve ever seen.
I did like the Maximals. I also like Mike November’s cameo at the end.
off brand Iron Man / Mirage thing

Agree with you Stu, I was bored to tears half way through. Bumblebee was leaps better than this.
Wonder how they're gonna attempt to move forward given this was a supposed reboot of the franchise? Even using the character of Unicron who's barely even in the friggin movie at all didn't bring the crowds they expected. 436 million from a 200 million budget, which knowing Hollywood accounting means it probably made like a fiver at most.
