The Energon Pub

by **G-Hac3** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:44 pm

The answer is yes. Having high expectations as a Transfan really made the movie (at first viewing) sub-par at best. Seeing it a second time around gave me a chance to enjoy the special effects more and focus on all the hidden "old-skool" Transformer energon goodies (even Beast Wars had some influence it seems). So fer sure... see it again fanboyz and girlz, and it might just win you back!

My Fiancee and I saw it for the 5th time last night. I plan on one more just to make it a nice round #

Personally can't justify the cost of going to the theater more than once. Not when the DVD release is only about 4 months away and costs about the same as one trip to the theater for me and my son.

Though if matinee prices were about the same as 2-3 years ago the last time I saw a movie in a theater I would definitely be there. $4.50 was more than fair, $7 is crazy. Then concession prices on top of that. While the screen size is nice and all nothing beats the comfort of watching a movie in your own home. Especially if you have a nice home theater setup.

However if you're ok with the price then it is certainly worth a second viewing. I am sorely tempted myself. But I hate paying so much for just one viewing.

i saw it twice in the theaters...but now i just throw the dvd in and watch it on the big screen with the kids when we are bored and there is nothing on tv....its not worth paying to watch over and over...but for free its decent....poof

I think there's a lot to be picked up on with a second viewing. There's a lot of fun stuff with the Autobots in the background in various scenes, especially Ratchet and Ironhide, that you miss when you're looking at the focus character(usually Prime).

I'm going to use and abuse the dollar theatre when this hits there.

I wish I could go and see it again. Every opportunity Ive had to go has blown up in my face. School, funerals, meetings, keeping the peace at home, doing chores that my lazy ass sister won't do. That sort of thing. Im going tommorow I promise.

I've seen it twice, but might go again, just for the transformations.

by **Jazz-935** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 8:52 am

Working on a third time, but there have been a flood of other movies to see lately...ala HPOP, INPYCL, 1408, etc...

Still a great movie though, I just need some time between views to 'forget' things. :lol:

Hell yes! Good films like this need to be seen a second time

Getting used to something is not the same thing as liking it. Even if you try hard to convince yourself that it is.

by **G-Hac3** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:12 am

Great to see everyone is supporting the movie but I find it hard to justify to watch it a third time. The only reason I would see it again is if my son was a bit older, otherwise I'll wait for it on DVD. But I did watch the animated full-length movie over 100 times (only once in theaters, I was a kid with little allowance). Well continue to show interest in this topic and I will conduct a survey based on the results of the first month of discussions.

I saw it twice. Wouldn't be against a third time. Or a fourth. It's just that slagging awesome.

i would say so seen it 4 times each i see it it feels like i seeing it for the first time.

by **Windsweeper** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:48 pm

Seen it twice and it is better second time around. Can't believe how funny it is. Cullen was great as Prime and I quite liked Ratchet's voice. Loved Barricade and found Frenzy's escape from Airforce One very funny.

Those were previews, officially opening here on Friday and I'm supposed to go with a crowd from work. Also the day I'm gettin my hols.

Side note, the PS2 game is fantastic.

You'd have to be a brain damaged, bumbling idiot not to see a couple more times

by **Versa** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 5:15 pm

Not worth seeing it just a second time... You'd have to see it at least a few more times I would think beyond that

Same for me! There was so much action that i can't even remember if Brawl/Devastator did something. All i saw where exploding stuff!

ive watched it for the fourth time last night.... if you really enjoy it and are tempted to watch it a second time, go for it. the way i see is that its not gonna be i theaters forever, so might as well see it and enjoy on a big screen with pumping surround sound audio while you still can.
