I just got back from seeing it, easily the best of the quadrilogy. It was basically Bay giving us what Dark of The Moon should have been and delivered. More action, better pacing, and better Transformers all around. Lockdown is easily the best Transformer in these movies. My only complaint is that Stinger was treated more like a named grunt than an actual threat.

All I am getting from these reviews are "I cannot pay attention to anything and I am easily lost".

Yesterday I took on Macross Fufonfia which was all on Nicodoga. It was amusing.
Anyone gonna check out Knights of Sidonia
I have been hearing a lot about it on /m/.

Why would you watch something about transforming alien robots in a galactic civil war for generic humans that are in virtually every other story ever made? Not trying to be mean or anything, I just want to know the logic behind that.
-
So Discotek Media has picked up a new series and are hinting at what it might be.
The clues are.
So bad its good.
Really violent.
Never been released on dvd in North America.
What does that sound like to you guys?
Just to update on what RL said, DT confirmed it is Violence Jack, uncut no less. Take that, Anime Abandon.

But as DuelGundam would say, A++ for effort!*
I will admit that the pacing in these movies could definitely improve, especially with Dark of The Moon, and the running time could definitely be cut for all three.

You mean as good. Plus Bay movies have too much plot rather than too little, makes me wonder if people think bad plot is no plot.

>assuming the movies do not have plots when they clearly do
>motorcycle poses "misogynistic
>the autobots being "generic"
>opening action 10 minutes when it is more like 5
>watching 3 movies at once makes you feel "like the audience" when this is unique
>calling the movies a "noisy bar"All that complaining.

Can't be a racial stereotype if said stereotype is not human.

I forgot, they also did one for G Gundam's OP:
-
There is a lot of Macross references such as Basara chasing a blue whale in space, so I figured it might be worth a topic:
-
I do not torrent and I do not download, I stream.
-
I don't know what YIFY is. Besides, this cant be worse than Derailed.
-
Where can I view this movie? Too poor for a DVD deliver system like Netflix.
-
I will see this movie opening night so the producers can get that 12 dollars.

The age of spoilers has begun!
Three years after the Battle of Chicago, the Autobots have been betrayed by the government and are being hunted down by the KSI, a secret organization led by counter-intelligence operative Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer). Scientist Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci) discovers that the Transformers are made of a rare, molecularly unstable element that he calls "Transformium", which Joshua believes can be used to create man-made Transformers controlled by the government. Using data extracted from Megatron's severed head and decoded by a captive Brains, the KSI produces two Transformers, Galvatron and Stinger. Attinger then joins forces with Lockdown, an intergalactic bounty hunter who agrees to give the humans the "Seed", a device that can convert matter into pure Transformium, allowing the KSI to build an entire army of man-made Transformers.
Meanwhile, in Texas, Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), a single father and struggling inventor who runs an auto-shop with his friend Lucas (T.J. Miller) finds an old truck that he decides to strip down for parts, against the advice of his rebellious daughter, Tessa (Nicola Peltz), who is secretly dating reckless race car driver Shane Dyson (Jack Reynor). Cade finds out that the truck is actually an injured Optimus Prime. Against his advice, Lucas reports Optimus' location to the KSI to collect a reward and save their shop, and a group of mercenaries led by Savoy (Titus Welliver) arrives at the farm to capture Optimus. Cade refuses to surrender him, and a firefight ensues. Shane intervenes and rescues Cade, Tessa and Lucas. They escape with Optimus, who then reunites the surviving Autobots - Bumblebee, Drift, Crosshairs and Hound - to attack KSI's headquarters and destroy the man-made Transformers.
During the attack, Optimus and Tessa are captured by Lockdown and brought aboard his spaceship, a stolen Prime exploratory vessel, while the remaining Autobots flee. Aboard the ship, Lockdown reveals that he has been employed by the Creators, mysterious beings that created the Transformers, to bring Optimus back to them alive, and he used the KSI's resources to locate him. The Autobots later rescue Optimus and Tessa, and Optimus releases a group of ancient Cybertronian warriors, the Dinobots, and convinces them to help by beating their leader, Grimlock, in battle.
Meanwhile, Megatron manages to transfer his consciousness to Galvatron's body and lead the man-made Transformers into a rebellion. The Autobots battle the man-made Transformers and Lockdown and his crew in Hong Kong to retrieve the Seed. Cade kills Savoy and Optimus kills Attinger. Galvatron escapes to the mountains with the Transformium and plans to build a new army, while Lockdown and his men are defeated and killed. Knowing the Creators are still searching for him, Optimus leaves the Autobots in charge of protecting the humans and departs in Lockdown's ship to ensure the Creators don't attack Earth again.
The Creators visited Earth in pre-historic times and were responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. They're organic beings with long, pale, fleshy fingers.
At one point, Cade hacks into a military drone and finds footage of Leadfoot being murdered by KSI agents.
Hound is a boisterous veteran and Optimus' old friend.
Crosshairs is an arrogant a-hole who believes he should be leading the Autobots.
Drift is a honorable samurai who speaks with an accent and refers to Optimus as "Sensei". He's also a triple-changer.
Bumblebee and Stinger are rivals.
The Autobots break into Lockdown's ship and release a menagerie of alien creatures he collected from across the galaxy to distract him.
The Dinobots are not individually named and only transform twice. However, they only fight in their dinosaur form and don't speak. There are five of them.
Stinger is impaled by one of the Dinobots.
Lockdown is injured by the combined Autobots and then stabbed and sliced in half by Optimus.
After rebelling against Attinger, Galvatron proudly declares "I AM GALVATRON".
Galvatron sees Optimus departing and mutters "Yes, fly away, Optimus. Flee, FOR I AM REBORN".
Dinobots are let into the wild after the big final battle.
Joshua's qt Asian assistant knows kung-fu, and people are already complaining.
Everyone gets basic character development.
Cade learns how to let his daughter go.
Tessa grows to respect her father's sacrifices.
Shane earns Cade's approval.
Joshua realizes Transformers are pretty cool guys.
Optimus regains his faith in Humanity's potential.
The condition of Skids and Mudflap are not confirmed.

Oh hey someone agrees with me for once! Also welcome to Macross World, Nel.

I thought this topic would NEVER be bumped. Anyway....
So at the beginning of the month I found another source to finish Bodacious Space Pirates in dub because I did not want to continue in subs, I managed to finish it a couple weeks ago. This series had some good pacing in some episodes, nice use of science, and the final four episodes were good. However the cast was boring, other episodes were horribly slow paced, the focus kept jumping around, and that younger princess really did not to be in the cast especially when she goes "this ship with irreplacable data, tens of thousands of lives, and lost knowledge should be destroyed because I am a middle schooler that sees my family losing political power!" How dumb. I am also sure you cannot have your niece married off against her will to politicians. Also I was joking about this series having lesbians.... And there actually were lesbians! What a twist. In all serious this was mediocre overall with too many dumb moments that prevented this this from being good.
Yesterday I finished Daimidaler The Sound Robot after seeing the first nine episodes in a row a few weeks back and GOOD LORD THIS WAS HORRIBLE. Without a doubt one of the worst anime ever made complete with over use of ecchi, vicious good guys, incredibly stupid and incompetent bad guys, and THE LAZIEST MONSTER OF THE WEEK DESIGNS EVER. YOU DO NOT REUSE ONE DESIGN FOR HALF THE SERIES! Only the mecha, action, and pacing were actually any good even if I found the music okay, I have to give it credit for good pacing because the vast majority of bad anime I watch never get that down.
Finally I finished Nobunaga The Fool which I also watched three weeks ago with the finale being today. This is without a doubt one of the best anime of all time, top 15 easily. It was theatrical, the cast was all relevant, the mecha and action were great, the philosophy was heavy, it took itself seriously, there was very little fan service, the visuals were astounding, the pacing was fast, and the ending was very fitting. Easily the best anime of the decade, bar none. The only thing that needed improvement was the music as those were only just okay, if that was improved it may have been top 10 or even top 5. Nice job Shoji Kawamori, you have saved mecha anime from the hell Valvrave left behind.

Oh wow that figure even has the torso scar.
-
Well yeah: Episodes 6 > 3 > 1 > 2 > 5 > 4, at least that is how I see it.
-
I saw that and don't care because all honest trailers does is spew what the bandwagoners and sheeple think with obvious bias.
-
That was a real movie made by a real studio made by the creators, so it is real. Plus it was actually good.
-
I was not being sarcastic, I thought the LW movies got better with each installment. Also JB0 there was a fourth movie and it was called Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.
-
No conspiracy.
Oh come on those movies were awesome, especially LW 4 (it is like they improve with each entry like Indiana Jones or Watchers).Lethal Weapon 3-4, Rush Hour 3 and the Starsky & Hutch remake?

They should get Kenny Loggins music in the sequel, I mean the first movie was basically Top Gun: Robotic Edition.
