Appropriately, it's HDR which largely distinguishes Dark of The Moon. Marking a partial shift to digital photography, this film was also the first to be shot in 3D, using James Cameron's 3D Fusion camera rigs. Consequently, the visual effects become even more complex; the 4K rendition of Driller providing the standout sequences.

The time has come. Cybertron has fallen. And you must jump into the clash of the robot titans, where the fate of both humanity and Cybertronian will be decided... At least things are unsurprisingly outstanding on the audio-visual front, with superb video and near flawless audio, benefiting, respectively, from Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos enhancement. Fans of the franchise will happily play apologist for another chapter or two, whilst those who only really rate the first movie as halfway decent, with the rest merely brain-numbingly long extended music videos, will find The Last Knight no better or worse than the rest. Not that it's likely to be the last anything, with not one but two more Transformers instalments (including that unnecessary Bumblebee spin-off) already planned. It's a shame because, even if Transformers was never going to be a meaningful franchise, it would have been nice if it was a little more fan-centric - getting Justin Lin to Fast and Furious it would work a treat, but it would likely have to be prised out of Bay's cold, dead hands. sharpness, leaving some surfaces a tad murky and pasty. That said, overall image sharpness and broad, full-screen and even distant clarity are oomph from explosions and large machine footfalls don't disappoint, either. Dialogue is of course perfectly precise, the final piece in one of the mostOriginally a tie-in to Hasbro’s line of action figures released in 1987, the animated TV series and films became so much more, standing toe to toe with such legendary franchises as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and G.I.

The Transformers: The Movie was released in 1986, taking place in between seasons two and three of the still popular TV show. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages on as the sentient cyberplanet Unicron makes its way through the universe, destroying planets and instructing others to do its bidding. After the Autobots and Optimus Prime are dealt a fatal blow, they face grave danger once they gain access to the Matrix of Leadership, something that Unicron will do anything to get, even aiding Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. elements but certainly in support, adding a critical layer for action movement and stage immersion into any given scene, action notably but also in I realize I'm in the minority, but it is only when the film's big third act commences that I personally begin to lose interest. It is here that Bay's love of military might takes over, as our nation's finest swoop in to try to prevent Cybertron's civil war from being staged on Earth. Of course, there's no stopping the inevitable, and so we have a nearly 30-minute extended action sequence where all manner of Los Angeles buildings are demolished as a parade of giant robots march down the streets and beat the crap out of each other. there's no shortage of zipping, zooming, and precisely layered and positioned gunfire, explosions, flying debris, transforming and maneuvering It may not enjoy a 4K UHD presentation with HDR, but this new 1.33:1 Full Frame presentation is no slouch either. Culled from the same restoration as the 1.85:1 4K presentation, it too boasts a cleaner presentation, bold colors, with far less damage to the film elements.
