Your thoughts on Transformers 2?

The IMAX PQ is absolutely stellar. One of the best so far IMO.

Now to get a good price on that set

Thanks croseiv, I will get the Imax version then from Wal-Mart (with 32 seconds more).
* And price is no object, only Peace is.

** Oh, by the way, I just rewatched it last night, and I felt asleep, again!
But this time I saw more of it.
Tonight I'll catch up from where I left off.

Sorry to pitch in, but the receiver at the bottom cabinet of mtrycrafts's system is indeed the Onkyo/Integra TX-DS939 (circa 1997).

Thanks for the reply. Wow..what a piece of gear it was in it's time, it made a lot of my buddies drool over it when I first got it (1997). Still have mine in the closet, maybe I should dust it off..lol

I watched it this weekend and I was looking for a movie that had lots of eye candy and visual effects. From that perspective, it delivered it in spades and is worth getting. I can't comment on the sond as my HT isn't setup yet. I watched it thru the tv speakers. But even so, it was still very entertaining.

I watched it last night, and I would agree with the majority on this, the plot is thin, they eye candy and audio is top notch. Lots of action, story not all that great, and the twins are very annoying, but not bad for a popcorn flick. Can't wait to see what Transformers 3 has to offer.

This was the funniest review comment I've seen on it so far:

I'm reminded of that famous line from 'Macbeth' about "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". It's almost as if the Bard had seen 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'.

 

[Lordoftherings]

High tech movie.

Finally, after three trys, I saw this blu-ray title in it's entirety.

What can I say? Pure adrenaline fun, with great picture (too much contrast though) and superb sound (but sometimes it was missing; should have been much louder, in particular during the fights and explosions).

Overall, I was please with this popcorn flic teaser.

* Wow! Can you tell Michael Bay's background in car's commercials! Ouf! Nice!
And Megan Fox goes without saying! Ouch! Gorgeous!

How much Walmart is selling Transformers: ROTF(Imax version) now?

Funny and accurate ...

 

[Lordoftherings]

Transformers 2; Imax version.

I think this movie kick some serious butts.

* I'll be getting the Blu-ray Exclusive Big Screen Imax Edition, that's for sure.

Watched the IMAX version and the scene with the devastator was very cool as the aspect ratio changes....

 

[Lordoftherings]

Right on!

Yeah, that's what I wanna see on my display too.

 

[j_garcia]

Watched the BD last night. Audio was pretty good. Lots of LFE all over the place and surround activity was good throughout. PQ was grainy on many of the outdoor shots, which becomes much more noticeable in 1080p.

I can definitely understand where the bad reviews are coming from. It's just more bad acting, explosions and plot holes as usual. If you want a good review of it: http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/8875-tf2
