The plot clearly stated they built the Hoover dam to cover up the cube. The cube was HUGGGGE in the movie at first, thats why they built around it. LOL DAMMIT GET WITH THE PICTURE

TransfoaMERS? More like TransfoaMEHS, amirite?

I'll have to watch the movie again to refresh my memory but I'll wait until the DVD screener comes out. The TS I nabbed is ok but the color is off and this is a movie that requires top notch visual diddly-doo.
25. Sector 7.
I'm not sure I can find the words to describe this. The moment they showed up the movie truly started going downhill. It went from a balls to the wall scifi/action movie with a few amusing moments to a horrible attempt at comedic disappointment. Not only is the main guy a complete dick - and a dick in an unfunny, unthreatening but assholeish way as opposed to a dick in a serious and scary way as he should have been - but I couldn't help notice that no one even mentions the word "warrant" when they just start busting in the Witwicky home.
Seriously? Seriously.
The whole idea of Sector 7 just pissed me off to no end. It was a ridiculous aspect of the story and pretty much ruined the rest of the movie for me.
26. More of the fat black hacker kid. ENOUGH!
27. Going back a few scenes, when Sam says that line about looking back fifty years from now wishing you'd hopped in the car...
cheesy as hell but that was Grade-A, all American, FDA Approved cheese right there.
28. How exactly does Gramps activate Megatron's navigational system by touching a random part of his knuckle?
29. "What you're about to see is TOTALLY CLASSIFIED."
When I heard that in the trailer I knew this is movie was going to disappoint me. Ugh.
30. The Hoover Dam generates it's power from within the structure, there is absolutely NOTHING outside of it that can be destroyed that will interrupt power to the dam. That's ridiculously nitpicky for christ on a cracker at least TRY.
31. Autobots standing on that hilltop looked badass.
32. One of the worst scenes in the movie involved Jon Voight and the Sector 7 guy talking about the shortwave radios. I'm disappointed in Voight.
33. The worst scene in the entire movie was the Sector 7 guy and SecDef rummaging around a basement for mics. What the fuck happened to his Secret Service detail?
34. I understand they're trying to hide the cube but what the hell, you take it into the middle of a populated city? Knyte, how much would cost to have you kill Michael Bay? I don't want it to look like an accident, I want people to know what happened. Make it gruesome. This is a shadowrun, my friend.
35. Highway scene, absolutely brilliant. Thought I have to wonder how many people died on that bus that Bonecrusher destroyed.
The rest of the movie was pretty much just neat action scenes which were the whole reason I wanted to see the movie. All the cliches and triteness aside this was still a movie about giant killer robots and it delivered. A few nitpicks about those scenes (for example, if a giant tank is rolling down the street and you're trying to get away from it, DONT RUN IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING TANK YOU STUPID EXTRA. oh and driving backwards is a lot harder than she made it look and you can't go nearly that fast, especially in a heavy duty truck like that) but then the visual effects really made up for it. Starscream taking out the other Raptors was just mind-blowing. Very thrilling scenes indeed.
I have to wonder, however, why didn't Prime break that piece of the Allspark in half so he could fix up Jazz in addition to Bumblebee? Oh and how did Sam know that it would kill Megatron and not make him a billion times more powerful? Eh.
Overall I enjoyed the experience. I'm glad I saw it on the big screen and I will be downloading the DVD to watch it again on the plasma with some herbal supplements. Seriously, great visual and audio effects. It would have been nice to hear "the sound" a lot more often, though. It really does run a chill up my spine every time I hear it.
I just really wish Michael Bay hadn't been put in charge of this movie. I would have taken just about anyone else.

No see when they advertised the movie they claimed that they wanted to ask the question "What if transformer were real?" That is NOT what we got, we got "What if we made the old cartoon look real?"
Very different.
Part of my beef is that I wanted a sci-fi action movie, not just an action movie. And in this day and age the bar for science fiction has been jacked up by things like Firefly, Heroes and Battlestar Galactica. Especially BSG, everything scifi should strive to live up to that standard from here on out. Perhaps I've been spoiled but this movie wasn't nearly as intense as it should have been. I was supposed to feel like the planet was really in danger at some point. Never did. Not once.

Exactly. The real Hoover Dam was carved out the planet, a LOT of earth was moved to put that thing in place. I think it makes sense that it could have just been under ground until they build the dam around it. :o
Bash the 300 again and I may terminate Bay and YOU in some kind of package "twofer" deal.
Oh I have no problem with 300, not at all. But to be ones favorite?
C'mon.Then again the battle of thermopylae has fascinated me for many years so I was miffed at the lack of an attempt at historical accuracy. Yes I know it was loosely based off a comic book that was even more loosely based off the real event...but still, there are people out there who think the movie is even remotely similar to what happened.

I enjoy 300 simply for the theatrics used, the carnage, and the butt-kickery. It's a fun movie, the acting is done pretty well, and the cinematography is breathtaking.
Even with its historical accuracy issues: 300 > Transformers
Whole-heartedly agree.
Still, if it also happens to be one's favorite movie I can't imagine there's a lot of reading in that household.
sorry cocky
Hey flynavy.
Jazz has always Been black, Just not as much of a ....cliche as he is now.
and sin city and vendetta are a few of my favs.

The Transformers: Kiss Players (2006)
This short section requires expansion.
(translated from the Japanese Wikipedia article)
The Transformers: Kiss Players was a Japan-only line of Transformers toys, manga, and audio dramas released in 2006. Kiss Players is set in an alternate Transformers universe where the Transformers are powered by the kisses of young girls. The toys themselves come packaged with small, scale figurines of the girls who power them. The toyline was openly admitted to be aimed at a specific part of the market--slightly perverted adults, rather than children. The comic that accompanied the Kiss Players was an unashamed reflection of this, with several images which were considered by some to be borderline pornographic.
Kiss Players continued the theme of the metaphysical power potential of human beings empowering Transformers. Previous examples were the Japanese series programs Godmasters and Car Robots.

300 is your favorite movie?? :thrawn:
you don't like books with words, do you?
I meant of this year.
I have to wonder, however, why didn't Prime break that piece of the Allspark in half so he could fix up Jazz in addition to Bumblebee?
He didn't. However Optimus said that if he put it in himself, he would die so inference leads one to believe it would kill Megatron too.
Whole-heartedly agree.
Still, if it also happens to be one's favorite movie I can't imagine there's a lot of reading in that household.

No offense taken but there's one bookshelf full of DVD's and 3 bookshelves full of books in my house.

The thing is, stuff you can read everywhere doesn't do much to dispell the differences in real life and the movie/graphic novel.
Even the History Channel didn't.
So if you can point me to something I can read more about it, I'd appreciate it.
