Paramount Targets Voters With Oscar Campaign For TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

First, wouldnt vot for this

Micheal Bay should win an Oscar for this! And as it's handed to him have it explode in his face!

where's the thumbs down button...???

bumblebee for non-talking Autobot!

@forthesakeofnow well...the film DID have sound... and yes there were visual effects... but none of those elements were/are award worthy. slapped together. big mess. sloppy work. NOT worthy.

That's the thing about the Oscars, it isn't about who or what's the best. It's about who promotes and spends the most promoting their nomination. It's more political than anything, though Teabag does have a point.

Didn,t know their was an Oscar for Biggest Turd.

it does make me laugh that drive is nominated for sound editing and moneyball for sound mixing and yet the rest of the nominees overlap perfectly. id like to sit down with the voters and find out their reasons for that

@teabag

when im king im going to force bay to make a 90 minute transformers film, with no dialogue apart from "NOOOOOOOOOO" and no non-diagetic sound or music, and its going to be one continous take like Sokurov's "Russian Ark" lol

just one long battle scene with a "the artist" like silent movie/no talking plot going on at the same time in the trenches.

Come on guys, I know that the films had terrible plot structures..
But those robots looked [frick]ing real!
Watching Optimus Prime tear robots to shreds was an etertaining moment at the theater. It had the best visual effects this year.

Planet of the Apes can grab this Oscar with its sequels, but this is the last chance for Transformers.

Well, unless Paramount "convinces" Michael Bay to do a fourth one lol

@helagood

i get ya. religious extremists, be them on the side of marvel or the side of dc, make me glad i dont read comics and arent on here too often, lol

Nothing about that movie should ever be praised for anything, lest the studio think we want more of it. It makes me sad and I've lost a little bit of my faith in humanity because this franchise was successful despite some of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen in a movie with this kind of budget. All 3 are unwatchable messes and shame on every single one of you that liked any of them.

@backwardgalaxy

how many of the current highest grossing films have great acting and writing arguably?

Avatar? Titanic? Pirates? Alice?

lord of the rings, toy story and TDK id say, its not like acting and writing often bring in the audiences. like u say its as much a problem with humanity as it is with hollywood

theres no arguing that the last cliip of Optimus at the end of that vid is just epic

I'll vote it for the sake of ILM,not for Bay.

Is it April 1st already??!?

BEST MOVIE EVER!!! BEST TRILOGY EVER!!!

Also I love the score music from all 3 movies, Steve Jablonsky is the MAN!!!

movie might not be too great but damn the visual effects were [frick]ing great.

WETA's work on ROTPOTA is the same thing they've been doing for years, ILM's work on DOTM had them puting thousands upon thousands of pieces together to form the driller. If that's not award worthy, I don't know what is.

His special effects and attention to detail is excellent...

I assume organic is a bigger challenge than inanimate objects. But that just means the industry has it's homework to do with CGI. The organic CGI is still rubbery and wiggly. I love Serkis' work, but at the end of the day, the CGI is pretty standard in Apes. The impressive thing about the film is the Orangutan. At one point I couldn't tellif it was real or not.

Transformers all the way though. In Revenge of the Fallen, the camera pans around Iron Hide and some soldiers as he transforms from truck to robot. The effect is seamless. Blew my [frick]ing mind.

When Caesar was swinging around the house, the CGI was shitty there too.

And this isn't exactly an FX problem, but since when is San Fransisco populated with about 11 people?
