This is the IMAX version of the movie. This is similar to the Batman 'Dark Knight' blu-ray where the IMax scenes are shown bigger than the rest of the movie. Bare in mind the whole movie is not like this, it is standard size 16:9 except for the fight scene's in the middle and end of the movie. But, on both dvd and blu-ray. This version also boasts a slightly different cover. The cardboard slipcover is totally different, the inside cover is very similar except it has Bumble-Bee instead of Megatron.

The movie itself kick's ass if you're into giant robot's duking it out over control of the Earth (and Universe!). Don't expect much in the way of plot, but you've read all that in the other reviews. I would recommend this if want to see Transformers 2 IMax version, plus it contains a few extra seconds of bonus scenes during the fight scene's. I couldn't tell you exactly what or where (I saw this in IMax at the theaters, then bought this version upon release). If you live in the U.S., pick this up at your local Wal-Mart, or ask a buddy stateside to pick one up for you. If you got a blu-ray player, even better!!!

After the events of the first Transformers movie, Sam Spike Witwicky (Shia Lebeouf) has graduated high school and now becoming a college student. Bumblebee is left behind but does still follow Sam even in disguise as his friends such as Optimus Prime (Voiced by Peter Cullen) with Ratchet (Voiced by Robert Foxworth) and Ironhide (Voiced by Jess Harnell) plus other new autobots like Skids (Voiced by Tom Kenny), Wheelie (Voiced by Tom Kenny), Mudflap, Arcee and others have had their battle with the Decepticons especially Starscream (Voiced by Charles Adler). Sam however has one of the last remaining pieces of the all-spark then something goes haywire went it's powers go into his brain making him a bit smarter, more frantic and fast paced like never before like if he had a rush of some kind especially writing weird transformers type languages on paper and some kind of supernatural ability. An ancient Decepticon named "The Fallen" (Voiced by Tony Todd) has arrived on Earth seeking revenge but while he's at it, Sam has became a target for Megatron (Voiced by Hugo Weaving) and other decepticons must seek an ancient device hidden in Egypt that can unleash doom into the world.

Co-starring Megan Fox back as Mikaela, Isobel Lucas, Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel this is a very entertaining and well paced sequel that is actually four stars. Sure some of the jokes are crude yet tasteless and weak at times including former Decepticon Jetfire (Voiced by Mark Jones) being one of those old-man jokes to even humping stuff but there is a few good hilarious moments. The acting is quite good, the action sequences are breathtaking as usual from Michael Bay as they are better than the first and amazing CGI even thought "Avatar" has the best visual effects of 2009. We get more Transformers such as Wheelie (Voiced by Tom Kenny), Soundwave (Voiced by Frank Welker), and Skipjack (Voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) and sometimes it's a bit racist with those 2 robots being punk-hip hop stereotypes even goofy looking but annoying at times. What more can you want when you can turn off your brain and have some fun despite what lousy critics said.

This 2-Disc Blu-Ray Wal Mart edition is PHENOMENAL with amazing big screen IMAX style picture and flawless sound quality like never. The extras are fantastic such as commentary, documentary called Human Factor which takes you behind the scenes, Destructing Visual Bayhem which gives you multi-angel sequences, NEST: Transformer Data Hub which tells you files of Transformers in quality 3D including history, The Blu-Ray exclusive called Allspark Experiment, 25 years of transformers featurette, deleted and alternate scenes, giant effing movie which is a semi behind the scenes montage, music video by Linkin Park and of course Trailers, TV Spots and galleries.

Great movie love the Big Screen Edition for this movie all the great scenes with the big screen switching from wide screen was really cool. Scenes look great on Blu-ray acting was not that great but the action scenes was the reason why I got this great Blockbuster.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, recalls the memory of my childhood. I dont have any problem with this movie, but for this item, I have something to say. I ordered this Blu-ray disc from Amazon.com and asked them to ship this to Tokyo Japan , I checked the shipping rate of the international shipment before I made this order, it's said an ordinary international shipment would cost me $4 only, but actually the seller charged me over $16 !
I dont understand how this could happen! If Amazon.com is not sure about how much a third party seller will charge for the international shipment, how could he make a statement like this! This is a completely misleading! Amazon.com should do something to prevent this from happening again!

i found the robots believable and the fact that shia labeouf would end up with Megan Fox unbelievable. Great movie though. Everything worked, everything was in synch though the ending was a bit loud and busy. but looks/sounds great on blu ray. This movie gets a lot of flack over stupid stuff. this is a great popcorn movie, it's a movie about alien robots transforming and trashing the earth as they battle each other. it's pretty much the 80s animated version on speed. they did a great job with it, and shouldn't be taken too seriously, these kind of movies are just sit-back-and-enjoy kinda movies. I would say its pretty faithful to the cartoon, though they did take some liberties in order to make it fit in better with modern times, but overall it was great.

Great prices and received fast. Half price vs. best buy. Would buy again. Long live Amazon.com and their products. Buy this deal before it's too late.

fast shipping, transformers 2 looks way better than transformers 1 on blu ray, looks amazong. i had T2 on dvd, thought id try the blu ray uprade, definitely worth it!!!!

this blu-ray is much better than the others, for this copy give you the IMAX experience for the full tube mixed the widescreen just like the Dark knight. PQ is great and colors just pop out at you.

Here's the thing - you don't sit down to watch a Bay film expecting to see Girl with a Pearl Necklace, sorry - Earring.

Don't come to Transformers 2 looking for plot or character development: come for more robots fighting!

The first and last thirds of the film are outstanding! Insane action and the comedy does just about as well as the first film in these sections as well. It's the middle third that lets the film down in a bad way - a horrifically misjudged pirate robot is hysterically bad, along with a little gangster robot and a bunch of boring humans wandering around for ages trying to dream up some daft macguffin to explain what is going on and failing spectacularly.

Either skip the entire section (you miss nothing) or simply acknowledge that this part of the film can only be enjoyed with post modern irony, much as you might find an Uwe Boll movie hilarious - the dreadful yet profoundly expensive choices on display in this part of the film are so outrageously bad my friends and I have been in stitches.

My irrational love of this movie lies in the robots - there are heaps of classic decepticons on display - Soundwave! Ravage! Insecticons! Constructicons! The set pieces are truly bravura and this time ypu can actually see what the robots are doing in their fights. On that note I must insist you pick up the big screen edition. No digital copy (whatever, don't need to see this on my ipod thanks) but those precious few sequences in IMAX frame have a fabulous impact on the film: the forest fight between Prime and a bunch of deceps and Devastator combining for Bayhem at a pyramid. They are gorgeous sequences and well worth tracking down this edition for.

This film works best when the autobts are trying to do something and the decepticons attack. That happens a lot in the movie - just like it use to do on your bedroom floor. There are none of the traditional values of cinema craft on display here, just like box office behemoth Mamma Mia. That film wasn't for me (women simply saying hello by way of screaming gives me tumors), this film is for me. Loads and loads of robots transform and jump about and explode everything.

Transformers 2 is my Mamma Mia.

Since the item had to be sent to Germany it took almost two months to receive it. But now that I've got it, it is
in very good condition. Just the edges of the cover are a little rubbed which is probably due to mailing it that far. The movie itself runs great and I would by again from there.
