As one of the highest-grossing box office successes of all time, Bay translated the Transformers mythos to fans in a way unlike we had ever seen before. Utilising his explosive action skills, the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons reached new heights. relentlessly, and overbearingly hot as the typical Michael Bay picture, but there's still that unmistakable Bay-signature warm push to much of the film.

Audio: The audio on the first three films has enjoyed an Atmos makeover on these Ultra HD discs, which dramatically increases the scope of the soundfield. The Atmos uplift isn't quite so pronounced on Dark of the Moon, which was the first Transformers outing to be released theatrically in Dolby 7.1. The Last Knight is the ultimate Atmos system stretcher. The score, by Steve Jablonsky, hits all the right cues, while the multifarious conflicts are exhaustingly colossal. And now you can experience this amazing saga once again with our complete collection of live-action Transformers Blu-ray and DVD releases. Classic Animation While I’ll admit that The Transformers: The Movie is a bit clunky - that title alone is an issue - it’s a fun movie. I enjoyed the new characters it introduced but I also appreciate how well it impacted and expanded the television series going forward. Before the film, the show was pretty well contained. After the film, the Transformers universe felt huge. There were entire new planets of sentient shape-shifting robots instead of just the Autobot vs Decepticon dynamic. Galvatron became the main enemy while Rodimus Prime led team Autobots - until Optimus was resurrected. Who knew transformers could have ghosts? Starscream roaming around with Unicron’s head is the last real vivid memory I have of watching that show as a kid. The show may not have lasted long after this film, but that’s okay - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were on their way. It may not enjoy a 4K UHD presentation with HDR, but this new 1.33:1 Full Frame presentation is no slouch either. Culled from the same restoration as the 1.85:1 4K presentation, it too boasts a cleaner presentation, bold colors, with far less damage to the film elements. See the video below: Cybertron by destroying Earth. Now Bumblebee and Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) must lead the Autobots against their former ally in the ultimate battle to save mankind from annihilation.saturation -- make this a quality step forward in the sound department. Overhead channels engage regularly, not always with discrete, distinct sound

The Ultra HD release of The Transformers: The Movie features only one extra, but the Blu-ray, which includes the film in 1080p (full frame from the same 4K restoration), carries the rest: DISC ONE: UHD A long time ago in a mall multiplex far far away, a legion of children lined up to see their favorite animated action figure heroes on the big screen. Within minutes, their hearts were broken and their parents’ wallets were emptied as old heroes were killed off and a new core group of heroes and villains emerged. Critics didn’t get the film. Parents were pissed at the blatant commercialism marketing. Kids - while heartbroken at a particular Autobot death - were enthralled with all the new characters they could add to their collection. listening area. Bass is certainly not shy, either. That classic Transformers electronic low end sound is in full power here, and more traditional

sound races around the listening area. The sense of length, depth, and height is fantastic and nearly unparalleled, limited by nothing, really, within the Picture: Of all the remasters, the original (and best) of the series is the biggest beneficiary. Shot mainly on Super 35mm, it looks gloriously cinematic in both detail and grading. The movie also makes more use of physical effects than its sequels, to which this transfer adds weight and heft, and the introduction of HDR makes an obvious difference. When the transport lands at the airbase, before the first robot reveal, the sun in the 4K edition is a tight orb in a rich dusky sky. On the BD it's far less focused and appears bleached.
