I went on the 3rd.....was expecting a giant line but it was completly empty until right before the movie

I think it was awesome....... the ending was kind of corny but other than that great.....I plan to go see it again if I can scrap together some cash again

I just saw it and really loved it. I only had two problems with it, small problems really. One, there was a lot of subtle patriotisms in there that I did not care to have mingled in my awesome Transformers experience. And two, the focus (in my opinion) should have been Transformers first, people somewhere else later and not first, but the movie did focus too much on the humans for my liking. I watched the movie for the Transformers, not for sappy, cliched human interaction. But other than that, I loved the movie. Just would have liked the Transformer-Human balance to be a bit more tilted towards Transformers instead of the latter.

***Oh yeah! And those of you who have seen it, did you get the uber-mysterious untitled trailer before it, the film by J.J. Abrams, coming out 01-18-2008? What do you guys think about that? Looked mighty intriguing to me!***

I agree. Too much humans and not enough Megatron or Starscream. And way too much Frenzy. (The little CD-player/cell-phone Decepticon.)

The trailer for that movie! oh it looks so intense...I was thinking it was godzilla too. not to mention they mention japan in the beginning. That should be such a good movie though, considering the fact that they did such a good job on the trailer. (lol, when that trailer ended in the theater everyone was like "whaaaatt!? no title!!!"

and about the patrionism...I agree, except I like the little "round me up some ho hos bit they threw in there"

haha, yeah. It was a nice, subtle suggestion of who the president was/is currently. The political satire cannot be escaped!

And yeah, that trailer perplexed our theater crowd too. I did immediately think Godzilla, cause it sounds just like it, but I read something that was pretty interesting. Apparently, no film company has bought the rights to Godzilla from the original Japanese company recently, so there is no record of a new Godzilla movie. But still, did seem a lot like Godzilla, though to be honest....I hope it isn't. I diggg Godzilla big time, but on the list of possibilities for this film, Godzilla is not very high. There are so many other things I would rather see, something new, a new creature, or a creature that has not been in tons of films already. I just think there is so much potential out there still untapped, and remaking a film (again) is somewhat a waste. (Just check out H.P. Lovecraft for prime examples of crazy, intensely unique entities). But, criticism aside, the trailer looks sweet and I can't wait to hear more about it.

By every intent, meaning, feeling, emotion, and idea intended, I'll sum the movie up in a single word.


Love.

From somebody who was a young kid when the toys and cartoons were out.  This movie rocked.  I would agree with what somebody else had said and that the movie had more transformers in it and less human but hey all in all I really like it.

Yeah, you decode the puzzles and you get little clips of data, more "home video" type footage. I decoded the puzzle, but unfortunately had a lot of loud stuff going on around me and couldn't hear what was being said. Bugs!

ACk! I've gone all throughout the source and every link in that source, and messaged around with the flash up and down, but I can't figure out how to progress the puzzle.

I really enjoyed the movie, It made me wish I'd seen a little more of Transformers when I was younger, I had a couple toys and watched the series off and on but that was about it.
I'm going to check out that site, Eternal Yamcha and I are also curious about it.
