    I'd really love to see that. Transformers spawned a new era of CGI/special effects for theatre entertainment.

    No other film has achieved the level of detail that Bay's TF's has done.

    Here we have the original dvd box. It has 23 pieces. Our DVD case features 10,108 pieces. It's never been done before.

    During the forest fight in ROTF, I kind of thought that the way Grindor was composited in the scene looked rushed.

    When Ironhide is twisting through the air when the Autobots are 3v1'ing Brawl, he looked kind of fake.

    Never caught that. Good eye!

    Yeah, especially when he's in the background.

    I always thought that scene was beautifully done.

    1 and 3 i couldn't spot anything bad, but like was said before the final fight in ROTF nay just where its Prime vs Fallen after megatron got messed up, it just seemed like it wasn't as rendered as well, it seemed more like a really good videogame cutscence.

    The only thing that jumps to my mind is when Optimus stands up after reviving Sentinel in DOTM and is grabbing the Matrix, it has always looked very off to me. Like he's not composited into the scene properly, or too shiny, or something. And a similar issue is in the scene where Optimus says "wait here while we scout a route ahead" in Chicago.

    But to call out instances of bad CGI in any of these movies is absurdly nitpicky. They've got the best CGI of any movie made this century so far, in my opinion.

    The CGI looked bad in DOTM at least twice. When Optimus gets up after being pinned down to the ground in NEST by Sentinel after being revived and when Sam is hang on to the string when killing Starscream. But it was still cool though:D

    Starscream meeting up with Megatron on top of the pyramid to announce the arrival of the body of prime looked Extremely fake.

    The human that Megatron flicks in TF1 and the scene with Jetfire in the plane yard have always bothered me

    Towards the end of ROTF, when Prime is kicking the crap out of Megatron, Megsy just looks a bit too fake for me. That's the only bit that really stands out to me.

    I think TF sets the current bar for CG quality... therefore only other things can be compared to it.

    Well put here buddy.

    I really disagree that ILM produces bad quality CGI, that's a big insult. You guys have to remember Digital Domain is also at work with small scense also, and they produces good stuff.
