Chris Hemsworth Posts Video of Himself Talking about the Upcoming Transformers One Trailer

Space huh?

The marketing sure if something different this time, not sure if it's a good or bad thing for the marketing to be more bold here than whatever was up with Rise of the Beasts.

Looks like it's on one of those high altitude balloons and will actually start at 10am when it reaches space (or the edge of it as is often the case)

EDIT: I liked the trailer, looks like it's going to be fun, very kid friendly. Does feel a lot more like a prequel to Earthspark or Cyberverse than the movies. The majority of the live chat seemed to really hate it though. Hopefully we get a better quality trailer immediately because it was not the greatest idea to show it on a transparent "screen".

Trailers are up on YouTube!

HOLY SHIT I cannot overstate how excited I am for this. The trailer was so much more than I thought we were going to get, I mean the sheer scale of the movie seems astounding. The humor looks like it gels well for the setting, and the VAs all sound great. I’m finding it hard to think of any negatives right now, I’m so giddy.

Well, I'm probably going to skip this one. I love the designs, and I'm having the toys when they come out, but the movie it's self feels like a pixar movie to me. Maybe it's just the old man in me talking. I really wanted to like it but I ain't feeling it.

I hope it does well to be honest. I still want to like it so maybe as more info and trailers come out I'll get more hyped. This is just my first impression.

This actually looks quite fine, not an amazing movie for my personal tastes but I'm just some guy who's no longer part of the intended audience, which is kids, and kids tastes change and are different from when most of adults were kids, some of the adults in my life didn't care about certain kids films/shows that plenty from my generation have grown up to adore.

It's just amazing to actually get a Transformers film that seems like it's actually targeted for it's intended audience, the Bay films while I'm somewhat tolerant on (used to straight up like), I still never thought they were even remotely appropriate for children to watch, or even for plenty in the PG-13 range.

Only thing I really don't like is Megatron's voice but I'm willing to give it a chance regardless, Chris Hemsworth's Optimus/Orion sounds professional at the least, he's one I'm more on board for in my first impressions.

Really like the quality of the animation style though, the lighting especially which is an underrated part of 3D movies, like some of those shots of Bee's Battle Mask for example, so on that front I'm already stoked for a movie that looks good! It's crazy that the visuals in this first trailer here blow me away in comparison to Rise of the Beast's first trailer which was...rough in the CGI side of things.

Edit: Also trailers aren't the actual full movies in the end, any of you remember Spider-Verse or Puss In Boot's first trailers? They weren't that amazing either, so I'm reserving final judgement until the reviews come in.

What does the ultimate judge think? I had heard rumors the movie is being done by some Pixar alumni people. And... you can REALLY tell that in the trailer. It's full of the exact same kind of goofy humor you would expect to see in a trailer for Inside Out, or Wreck-it-Ralph, Toy Story, or any other movie like that which you care to name. I'm not sure that sets particularly well with Transformers in general.

Good impressions? It's nice to see a transformers movie that ISN'T all about humans. If they can stop themselves from trying to inject any political messages into it, then it should be fine. The renderings are clean and everything looks smooth. A little TOO smooth in fact. There are a lot more rounded edges and contours on every character than I'm used to seeing with Transformers.

And if you want to pre-order the inevitable merchandise? Then the Optimus Prime figure is already up for pre-order on BigBadToyStore.com!

Wreck-It Ralph wasn't Pixar.

It's decent. I think the trailer showed too much humor and not enough serious moments (even younger-geared films need those). And the music needed something more than "be awed" used constantly.

Looking good so far. The graphics are fantastic, and the characters were a lot of fun to watch. The transformation scene was my favorite part for sure.

Amen.

I literally sat here and watched this with my mouth hanging open. The trailer is beautiful, well polished animation. The interactions are amazing. All of my nurses and MAs also watched the trailer. None of them are even fans of Transformers, but they ALL plan on seeing this movie now.

That's exactly what a trailer is supposed to do. Well done.
