As soon as I can get the time to type it up. I had the time last night, but my laptop had Internet issues that forced me to use other computers for limited periods that gave me no chance to type it up.

Tonight's no good since I work a long afternoon-to-late evening shift, so hopefully tomorrow will give me the time to at least start typing it, so long as:

some big news (like the recent reveal of Masterpiece Exhaust) doesn't steal my attention for the whole day,
I feel awake enough and not too fatigued tomorrow to work on it,
I'm not slammed with doing homework the whole day,
no other distractions in real life come up unexpectedly.

Sounds good to me. Who else thought that the scene with Slug jumping and hitting one of Lockdowns henchman's battle ship than nawing on the cannon he bit off when Optimus tells the humans to get the bomb out of the city was cool besides me? :???:

Slug is my wife's favorite Dinobot.

It's the greatest soundtrack of all time. Drive Backwards with the volume at 100% is the most badass thing ever. But, Tessa and Decision are probably my favorites. Along with Dinobot Charge.

I know,right?Here are some moments were the music really stood out for me:

*Lockdown theme whenever he was near had an mysterious vibe that suited him well.

*The Autobots Reunion music seemed really strong for me.

*The Dinobots release was really cool as well,using parts from "Arrival to Earth" aided its coolness.

*Imagine Dragons-Battle Cry was well used in the movie.

One thing that I really liked the film gave us,that I been wanting since the 2007 one,is more interaction of Autobots and humans outside of action scenes.Seeing they talk,question and even banter with each other was really good.

nice, but I find better the one with 3" tall figures I have pre ordered (can't wait for January 2015 :-(

)

If I had a 3D tv and I didnt mind the glasses I would probably snag that one. But for me not having one and not liking the glasses its a pass. If it had been the IMAX 2D version I would have picked it up.

This is the exact same video as the "Creation of the Dinobots" clip, but with a different title. Did Hasbro show the wrong video the first time?

Have you submitted a claim for compensation? Did you factor in your tears and destroyed childhood?

Bay does not owe you money for your own decision to see these movies

It's your own fault.

I feel everyone should be grateful we even have movies for both entertainment as well as partially saving Transformers from disappearing in the dark like GI Joe at least for a few more years.

That's not true. I'm having a really positive experience as a result of this.

THEY BROUGHT AOE BACK TO MY THEATER IN IMAX!!! For one week, every day at 9:55! I'm going to go there and watch it every damn day. For once in my life, I "feel," something. IDFK if it's excitement, or even simply satisfaction, but damnit, AOE is back in IMAX, and I'm going to make the most of it. Then, I'm going to buy every version of the DVD/Bluray when it comes out.

This post is about a movie, but really it's about good old teenage angst.

Another exclusive look at some Transformers: Age of Extinction behind the scenes material comes to us courtesy of USAToday. Wahlberg, Tucci, head of explosions (of course) Jim Schwalm and others of the crew talk about their experience on set with the very real explosions and pyrotechnics under Bay's direction. Read more below, and check out the embedded clip!

If you thought the action was intense onscreen in Transformers: Age of Extinction, check out this exclusive look behind the scenes.

The stars had to navigate scenes with real explosions that seem closer to a true war zone.

This extra from the Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital release features a Chinatown scene from the summer box office hit. The highly planned explosions come fast and furious.

"I had never experienced anything like that. There were explosions going off the likes of which I had never seen before," says Stanley Tucci, who starred in his first Transformers. "It was really exhilarating."

Tucci and star Mark Wahlberg sprint throughout set pieces on the Detroit set. Bay follows along barking out instructions into a megaphone.

Jim Schwalm, the explosives expert in charge of Michael Bay set explosions, also follows closely nearby. The Transformers veteran says that even he was impressed by the firepower required for the fourth installment of the franchise.

"We were way busy," says Schwalm. "We had bombs everywhere there."

At the end of the scene and a barrage of explosions, the actors finally complete the task to the satisfaction of Bay.

"That was awesome," he yells into the megaphone.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is out on digital September 16 and Blu-Ray/DVD September 30.
