    I almost want to say that they used a similar location to Megatron's scene (or one nearby). It does have the look of an African landscape, if the cap of Sentinel is any indication. It could all be the result of poor editing as well, which these movies are known for. I always found that scene awkward.

    Yes, but this is a fictional movie which is part of a series of fictional movies notorious for including geographical errors. So, as far as I'm concerned, it's the United States.

    It's US. The point of the scene was Optimus showing Sentinel the natural beauty of their new home, which is to give more impact when he throws it back in Optimus' face later by betraying them. It would've had less impact if their conversation was just around more cities.

    Also, even if it was Africa, it's nowhere close to being the same location as Megatron's intro. That scene took place in flat plains with few trees and sand all around. This is grassland with trees, rolling hills and a mountain in the distance.

    I won't deny that it was probably supposed to be an American countryside, but for the sake of filming, it wouldn't surprise me if the location was in the vicinity of the Megatron scene. It's not impossible to replicate a foreign location, especially for a scene that's not all that long.

    You quoted what I posted, which was my statement of my opinion. If you meant to disagree with the statement from the review, then that's fine.

    And yes, DotM is freakin awesome :)

    Yep, DOTM Cybertron is light years ahead of TF1 Cybertron.

    That Sentinel Prime shot is utterly beautiful. Say what you want about Michael Bay, but the cinematography in his films is always flawless.

    Wow, the tight close-up of Deep Wang that nobody asked for.

    Also, Megatron has a nose ring?

    Oh, just stop. It's obvious that I was referring to the statement you quoted. The problem is that on this site, you can't double quote.

    I hope they have details on what the special edition contains so I can decide. Just knowing that there are "extra features" doesn't give me enough info.

    A very nice shot, but couldn't they have got it where Ratchet has his hand on Bumblebees shoulder?

    Of course. The difference here is they're coming right out and saying there's gonna be a better version later and offering a coupon for that version with this one, two things that rarely happen. They're doing right by us as far as I'm concerned, getting the movie itself out as soon as possible for weirdos like me.
