    Well, that music kinda IS the new generation Transformers isn't it? That music; every kid and teen and basically everyone born from 1990 onwards know Jablonsky's music to be an integral part to Transformers. smile
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Some of the humour was good for a one-time laugh too. tongue

    But I loved the scene where [spoiler]the soldier talks to the Middle Eastern phone operator in the Scorponok scene[/spoiler]! biggrin

    yeah, where will it end?
    Can they still improve upon the visual effects scale?

    Yes, they can, in term of how efficient they can deliver 1080p definition images with as much realistic details as possible. Trust me when I say that the amount of details in those Michael Bay effects are insane and would be extremely time consuming and tedious to do and improve.

    Yep, spot on. It's an absolute masterwork of special effects. But as a film, it's retarded.

    Totally!

    I thought the special effects were amongst the best I've seen but there was no other reason to watch it whatsoever.

    Maybe to see Megan Fox, but if that's the case you might as well go for gold and watch a porn film. (Which is what Michael Bay needs to make just to get it out of his system. rolleyes )

    Sorry, but movies are not made in 1080p.

    Shot on film, there is no "resolution". But if you scan the negative (or shoot digitally), it's usually done at 4k resolution, or 2k resolution. Then the images are downsized to fit on 1080p for Blu-ray or HD broadcast.

    So a digitally projected image is still higher resolution than a 1080p image.
    I consider a project a success when Thor says he won't buy it

    Dan, we were talking about the limits of animation, as in how "real" CGI can get, and I was talking about the requirements for a realistic animation. The amount of modeling and animation and rendering required to be realistic even at the current HD resolution is staggering, not even mentioning at IMAX resolution. The constraints are largely time and resources. Directors like Michael Bay who demands massive level of details are just pushing the computing limitations and the bar will always rise as long as time and resources permits.

    A friend works for a cinema and somehow got a copy of the print. He's got a projector at his house and we watched it there one drunken evening.

    It is impossible for me to watch the first one in one sitting.
    However, I will see the second one in theaters for the awesomeness of the effects.

    How could you tell the effects were good? The camera never stays on anything long enough for you to tell what it is!
