Great film, even better in HD
This film was one I'd been waiting for and loved every minute in the cinema, which I believe was the best cinema experience I've had to date.

It was great to relive it on DVD when my brother bought it to see it for the first time, but now that HD-DVD is more accessible in price I knew it was something I had to do, and I don't regret it AT ALL.

Absolutely stunning visuals show just what this 'dead' format can do. Every scene has new life as each grain of sand, freckle and piece of flying debris looks so good you can almost feel it. A must for any HD collection and now even more worth getting since the price has halved from the initial RRP. 6 out 5 stars :)

BEST.LOOKING.FILM
If your reading this then i suspect you have in inkling that this may look good in HD... You would be absolutely right. Visually stunning from start to finish. There hasnt been an advocate for HD that compares to this.

Talking robots blow stuff up in big explosions
To enjoy this film you need to remove all common sense from your brain, open your eyes and wait for the explosions.

Any film based on talking robots that have existed in cartoon and toy form is going to be aimed squarely at kids. Yet still Bay still manages to hit the geek audience that wants to see a truck beating down a fighter jet.

This is big budget, it looks expensive, the transformer fx are something else and appear from start to finish. There are issues as with most Bay films. There are too many story threads and little logic in what happens... but who cares.

If you liked Armageddon or Independance Day this is for you.

Very good picture, great explosions
I haven't been a Transformers fan while I was a kid for the simple fact you couldn't get them in Romania at that time. I can't say I'm a fan now, but the movie is great, meeting my expectations. Lots of action, fire, guns, great cars, robots...you know...what the kid inside every man needs.
The picture is great, crystal clear, excellent colours. I can't talk about sound because I watched it with the TV speakers...lame, I know.
I love the extras, everything is HD, even on the second disc. What I hate is that you have to change the menu everytime you use it, it doesn't remember your theme. Maybe is the player's fault, I don't know.
4 stars instead of 5 for the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron - disappointing to say the least. Maybe Starscream will do better in Transformers 2.

This Rocks!!!!
This is one awesome film, not only does this HD DVD bring the best in picture & sound, it also has a great soundtrack to the film. The special effects are incredible, although this film may be classified as "over the top" - this is a must see for anyone who enjoys a great film from start to finish. The designing of the characters are truly amazing, they transformers are so cool!
