The new trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon is here, and it’s genetically engineered to be a summer blockbuster, now with even more robots and patriotism.
“You cannot believe what we’re seeing,” says Shmiel Shmarmstrong, and he’s right. I cannot believe that the dust on the moon looks like it’s moving due to earth-like gravity! I’m going to go crawl in my nerdhole and hibernate now.
Teasing aside, holy moly, it’s like Michael Bay knows we all want to see an explosion on the freaking moon. I mean … you do, right?

‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’: Can you come up with a better subtitle?
It’s generically engineered? Oh. Read that wrong. Wa, wa.
Awesome!
Seriously? That looks horrendously bad! People will watch anything.
Really? How do you get “horrendously bad” from a trailer that uses mostly archival footage, and involves shots of the astronauts exploring Transformers wreckage?
Does “hyperbole” mean anything to you?
You thought that was archival footage? Pardon the hyperbole, but that’s frackin’ hysterical!! No wonder Michael Bay movies are so successful.
Looks truly terrible.
Michael Bay is the American Uwe Boll. Just with a much bigger budget.
The should have called it, “2001: A Space Catastrophe.”
Movie snobs and Bay-haters bore me. Transformers are awesome and I can’t wait to see this!
Is it because you’re not smart enough to follow intelligent films? Or you have ADHD? Or both?
@nodnarb
I can watch and appreciate intelligent movies as much as the next guy, but there’s something about giant robots blowing things up thats pretty cool.
You should get off your high horse and stop telling people what movies they should like. Your a movie snob that thinks he’s better than people based on movies. Get over yourself.
And there was some archival footage from some NASA event in there.
A. Agreed, giant robots blowing stuff up is cool. But even Michael Bay manages to muck that up.
B. I never once told anyone what movies they should like. I fully support people having crap taste.
C. There’s all of 4 seconds of archival NASA control room footage and an even briefer clip of Walter Cronkite. It’s certainly not “mostly” archival footage which implied he thought the actual moon landing footage was real. LOL
D. I think you meant “you’re.” Movie snob AND a grammar snob.
Movie snobs suck. Anytime people look down on other people, for any reason, it’s because of insecurity. There’s no need to judge other people for what they like. I’m excited for it too!
Oh, and grammar snobs are even worse than movie snobs. The more kind of snob they are, the shorter they turn out to be in person.
Nerdista, if that’s what it takes to make you feel better about YOURSELF, keep telling yourself that.
Nerdista,
good point! So I must not be a very good person since I look down on murderers, rapists, and gangsters who force girls into sex slavery. So I must be just a bad if people who look down on others for ANY reason are such bastards. Oh and yeah I also look down on people who use the world’s greatest art medium to enrich their bank accounts even more, with no regard to those starving in the world. IM SUCH A SNOB!!!!!!
Okay haters, with all your talk, you’ll probably still see this movie. I love serious, intelligent films too but summertime is for the craptastic popcorn action movies. Good grief, it’s not supposed to stimulate your intellect. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable ride of robots and explosions. Chill out everyone.
Robots and patriotism and battles on the moon?Count me in me!!
Michael Bay is the epitome of what is wrong with American cinema.
Aww, you’re jealous. How cute.
Too True LOL
PJ and harry, really? The jealous comeback. What are you 12? This isn’t an article about Twilight or Adam Lambert.
I highly doubt Nick envies a guy no one respects. Although, it doesn’t surprise me that an obviously immature person like you would be a fan of Michael Bay.
And American cinema reflects whats wrong with society, right? Given that film, more specifically movies made for income, is a reflection of society and the times. If they’re making the studios money, you can’t blame them. WE, well, maybe not you, but enough/plenty of people are paying to see these films. Whether it be the turbulent times that causes people to turn to escapism, or a lack of thinking ability, only the viewer can be blamed for paying for more of the same

This movie looks legit awesome, hopefully it will make up for the awfulness that was the sequel
I hope so as well.
This title makes no sense to me. I don’t understand anything about this movie based on what was in this trailer. I never really understood the first two transformers though.
Don’t compare one versus two, not even close. One was a good flick, two was just that, number two.
I’m going with muddled Pink Floyd reference.
The lunatic is in the director’s chair?
SHOCKWAVE!
i don’t understand your objection to the portrayal of the dust in the trailer. it seems fine to me. dust falls on the moon, as it would on earth. slower due to lower g, faster due to the vacuum.
No.
If somethings kicks up the dust, yes Stacie.
I’ll give this one a chance – it can only get better after the painful part 2.
Another Transformers movie? The world just got a little stupider.
more stupid
RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Is Shia still in the movie? If so, I’ll pass.
Is Megan Fox still in the movie? If not, I’ll pass.
Yes to the first, No to the second.
Megan has been replaced with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a VS model.
Agreed. Getting rid of the Megan Fox was the most idiotic thing they could’ve done, short of getting a beautiful and Oscar-worthy actress like Natalie Portman, though she’s obviously way too old, but you get my point. Anyways, she, and the college scenes, were the saving grace for me in the 2nd movie. And it was Shia and Megan’s chemistry in the first one that I felt just worked REALLY well. She plays a good, hard to get goddess.
Oops, I meant to say replacing Megan with a very talented actress would’ve been fine, but not a VS model, much less THAT model. She’s NOT that good looking, especially without makeup. Yes, I Googled many pics of her to compare and contrast, with and without makeup. She’s an 8, while Megan is a solid 10.
Shia would be the ONLY reason to see this.
Parts of that trailer — where the astronauts are looking through the derelict spacecraft — remind me of the first “Alien” film, and that is always an AWESOME thing.
Yeah, ripoffs always rule!
I’m not much of a Transformsers fan, but that trailer looks awesome.
Which transformer did they find on the moon? What is this sequel going to be about?
The one that transforms into the sea world whale that killed its trainer
