This particular release of AOE has to be the worst Transformers movie ever.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call you out for not knowing what you're talking about, or at the very least, not explaining your gripe very well.

They shot a tonne of the scenes in Imax so that it is more immersive in certain scenes. The 3D blu-ray retains that (much like the Walmart "Big Screen Edition" of ROTF did). The 2D doesn't.

It has nothing to do with the director (and what the heck is a blu-ray director? you mean the blu-ray producer? No.) not being able to make up their mind and has EVERYTHING to do with a director knowing EXACTLY what they want.

Now, whether the film is shite is another debate (and one best left to another thread), but dude, you're completely wrong. Whether, in your opinion, you find it distracting, is another thing entirely.

Sorry I don't know as much about films as Rodger Ebert you ass. But I shouldn't have to put up with constant changes in a movie between two different aspect ratios and changes between digital and film stock. It's not even a matter of one scene is in 1.85:1 and then the next is in 2.40:1 like The Dark Knight. They actual are switching aspect ratios and film mediums each time they change to certain cameras in the same scene. Clear enough for you:mad:?

To get back on topic my US copy turned up today (HD, not 3D) and the Blu Ray works fine on my PS3. Very stoked about the statuette that came with it :D

Only tried the 3D disc and it worked fine on the PS4.

Anyone else see the Voyager version of Hound that comes with the Japanese pre order? It makes the original look like a prototype and the 5 pack one look like an early draft.

Cammo is awesome and the black guns and bull bar look great.

Sigh... Nothing ever looks as cool as it does in the stock picks. It's cool, I just think it looked cooler in the stock pics.

Did you get it too did ya? I quite like it myself, though maybe because I wasn't expecting anything brilliant I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail on Big Grim

Na, just going off your pic. It looked more awesome in the stock pictures. I think your expectations were appropriate.

That makes it worth getting for the statue alone, almost.

Thats the risk we take when ordering any Transformers item at full price. Sometimes they shelf warm and go down in price.

Anyone got the BluRay from the US with a digital edition, and been able to access/view the digital version with no problem? Wondering if it's also region locked someway (to a particular service, like iTunes US account for instance)?

The DVD/BluRay/Digital version is only $13 USD at the moment which is tempting since there's no DVD/BluRay set in this country.

I had bought the US version from Amazon and to use the digital edition I had to switch stores from Aus to US and back to access it.

Some kind benefactor over the school holidays left the Blu Ray of AoE in my pidgeon hole at work :). Still havent found out who it was.

Interestingly the cover is slightly different from the US version. The Aussie version has a rating box on the front and is made of a light blue plastic. The US version (the one I have anyway) has no rating on the front and the plastic is a darker blue.

Very little difference I know, but enough for me to keep both on my shelf :D
