An educated guess would place it at some point in the first half of 2012. Plans are currently in place for a feature-packed 3D Ultimate Edition Blu-ray, but at the time of going to press Paramount has yet to provide any concrete information as to when it will be available. Picture: Like Avatar before it, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is another native 3D blockbuster that is only being released at retail in a flat 2D form on Blu-ray for the immediate future. And Michael Bay still insists on shooting a film that’s primary audience is little kids (it’s based on a line of toys, remember) like a Playboy shoot, his camera leering over Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s body like an sexually-frustrated 15 year-old at ever opportunity, even going for a blatant up-skirt shot at one point. The acting is diabolical - especially new female lead, who appears to only exist to convince you how much better Megan Fox was in the first two films. The plot is insultingly stupid and makes absolutely no sense. However, it would be a push to actually call this a good film. It also scores highly with action fans, delivering some of Bay’s most accomplished set pieces to date (helped in no small part by the need for him to curb his usual hyperactive style due to shooting the film in 3D) – especially the epic hour-long siege of Chicago. The simple fact is that Dark of the Moon is an improvement on its predecessor, thanks primarily to ditching the majority of the inane humour and racism that plagued that flick. Well, as is often the case with Michael Bay, the answer is both yes and no. But persuade them he did, and the resulting 3D sci-fi epic went on to rake in more than $1billion at box offices around the world. Can it?Īfter the unspeakable cinematic horror of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, it’s a tiny miracle that Michael Bay could persuade anybody that the world needed another instalment in this toy-based franchise. At least it can't be as bad as Revenge of the Fallen.
