Official Trailer Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

[swishbig]

So how many movie mistakes will Dark of the Moon have in the end?
Just by watching the trailer people have noticed two already. But that doesn't mean they will be in the movie. The two so far are the convoy scene inside the hanger and the blue foot in front of the hotel. Though the blue foot isn't as obvious as the hangar convoy scene.
Transformers has 135.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has 154.

Will DOTM break the 200 barrier?
Most likely when it gets released on dvd/blu-ray, people with no lives start to go watch the movie frame by frame to discover all the mistakes. I think the place where it'll have most mistakes, is during the battle in Chicago when buildings blow up and stuff.
But who cares, right?! DOTM will kick so much ass at the Box Office around the whole world, that people won't even notice any mistakes if there are any to see in the first place, cause the movie will just be awesome and blow peoples minds away!

If you don't care, then why did you create this post?

Just wanted to point out that there are some mistakes in the trailer. But as I said, it doesn't mean that they will be in the movie.
And if anyone now wonders and wants to know, I've watched both the first two movies and haven't noticed any mistakes while watching them. It's doubtful that anybody will even notice any mistakes in the final movie before the dvd/blu-ray release, if there are any in the first place, cause the frame pace is just too fast to notice anything. Like take the hangar convoy scene in the trailer. If you don't know where to look, you won't even notice that there are some extra cars in the scene without slowing it down like people have done back home with their computers.
No movie is perfect, but let's just hope that the movie makers notices the faults in the trailer and fixes them if the scenes are going to be in the final cut.
Either way, I'm looking forward to see DOTM at the theaters, and by judging from all the trailers released so far, I'm gonna see it more than once regardless how many tiny atomic mistakes it will have. Case closed.

Good job..

Regarding the scene with OP and the Modified Shuttle, think Why would Bay put this in the trailer? I think he did this so people would think this is the ending and would give a general misconception. My theory is that the Autobots were about to leave earth under pressure from government etc. or they leave on free will because they are angry that they shared tech. info and thought they are a danger. then, they stay because the decepticons attack. just my theory. Thoughts?

In the scene where Optimus flies in and gives hell for free, isn´t Sandstorm Brawl farther away than in the tv spots?

[Albershide]

If you look at the trailer at 1:17, you can see them all lined up at the top in formation...not place markers at all...d-con drones when I saw that part first with the x's I thought it was something they were using for holders as well until I went back and looked specifically for them.

First of all they're not drones but Ospreys. Second - yes at 1.17 you can definitely see that they're not X-s. But at 1:22 they're X-s. It doesn't meant that when they are something in one shot they can't be other thing in another. But as I said before enough with this discussion. I'm pretty sure for myself and I don't want to persuade anyone. When the movie is out we can see.

Aside from the 3D trailer & TV ads I think this is it.

Hmmm, sorry but I think there will be a second trailer in late June (like ROTF). Maybe only 2D because 3D takes too much time. This one was really more like a teaser. The battle for the box office is huge and I'm sure they'll promote the movie in the theaters once again before the premiere. And the next trailer will blow us away when they show Megatron, Sentinel, The Wreckers and so on.
Of course I might be wrong.

Now that I mention it, compare the tv spot version and the trailer version

Maybe the autobots use the cons ships and used to there advantage.

whoa... very cool! Trying to download it in full HD so i can watch it and re-watch it on my big screen HD LCD TV!

P.S. Does anyone know how long i have to wait for before i can re-download a video off Bays Vimeo channel? I tried downloading the older trailers but my internet cut out half way, i tried again and i got a message saying i had to wait =(

Also does anyone know when Bay/Nelson will let us download the new trailer?

[Flyingheart]

Little update:

-Trailer got downloaded & viewed on this site about 1.3 million times. That's what bought down the site for a couple of minutes.

-Bay has just finished the 3D trailer which will be featured on 'Pirates.' It's basically the same trailer with a couple new shots.

- High res poster: http://www.michaelbay.com/images/TF3_MB2.jpg

A.) Yeah i was trying to get that 720p trailer at the time and i got an error or something =/ a minute after that or so the site crashed =/

B.) Thanks for the high res poster btw Nelson! looks awesome! not to grainy at all like most ppl say! XD

[CesarCardoso]

any of you guys think Brains is the Mercedes? Cause i do. Because Mr. Bay said that the Benz would be good friends with Wheelie, and in the comics, Brains gets along with Wheelie a lot, so idk

God i hope so. I'm sorry for Wheeljack if thats what he looks like.

[Sam Nickelson]

God i hope so. I'm sorry for Wheeljack if thats what he looks like.

[SPOILERS]
WJ and Brains are two different characters. In the comics both in the same issue. Sadly Einstein is Wheeljack, brains is a smaller bot. He's wheelies friend and has a Bronx accent to.
[Spoilers]

[SDL]

[POSSIBLE SPOILERS]Wonder what, if anything, Brians will TF into? there's no doubt he won't have an alt mode... but i wonder what it could be?[POSSIBLE SPOILERS]

I've made a little research around here, and Cars 2 is in theaters on July 1 in Mexico, and it's gonna be 3D and apparently DOTM it's gonna be in Spanish 3D to gather people, and since people are idiots here they have to watch it dubbed in Spanish.

Long story short, I won't be able to see it in 3D, unless it's in crappy dubbed language, I hate this country.

Still, gonna keep my head up and hope to see it in English 3D, even if I have to wait 'tll 00:30, just like with Tron Legacy and Avatar. God, I hate this country!

[BAYliner]

why aren't any "street lights" broke?? 1:37, & 1:39..

i know. but if you take a look, the blue bot behind OP in the trailer seems kinda disproportionate and looks like his head is a hologram. Also, and i know this doesn't mean anything, he looks nothing like his comic book counterpart.

Ya. IDW changed the looks to keep it quiet. Look at shockwave for example? It's Wheeljack. He is seen in the shot before that also in the trailer in car mode. All the parts match. It's his chromedome that makes him look stupid

[CesarCardoso]

[spoiler possibility] what if:
1 -sam learn something he shouldn't from his new government GF;
2 -he or Carly gets threatened by the government (like in the trailer) of treason if he talks;
3 -to keep carly out of trouble, he keeps important info from OP and the autobots
4 -OP finds out and decides to leave because hes had enough
5 - Sam cries while seeing the Autobots leave because of guilt, and not sorrow...

what if...[spoiler possibility]

Well he's got a Bronx accent. Could be nicknamed MACk. *hint hint*

[BAYliner]

I was in Washington DC last month and took a really cool segway tour to see the city. We saw that there was no water in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool due to a crack in the foundation. We heard from our tour guide that there was water in the Reflecting Pool when Michael Bay was in town to shoot some scenes for DOTM.
I just wonder if this caused the crack in the foundation?
