The Blu-ray Disc:
Video:

Transformers was a hot point of contention for Bay, who was the most vocal Hollywood presence in the Blu-ray/HD DVD wars of 2007 and early 2008. At one point, Bay speculated rather emotionally on whether doing a sequel to the film was in his interests, before being talked back from the edge and Paramount's eventual capitulation to Blu-ray. There was talk at one point that a new transfer would be struck for the Blu-ray, and while I can't confirm this, I have seen the HD DVD version of the film, and have been watching it on cable recently. Not having an HD DVD copy for comparison, what struck me about the AVC encoded 2.35:1 widescreen presentation of the film on Blu-ray is the level of detail within the image that I missed the first time on the HD DVD version. Sand grain in Qatar, dirt and other more involved smudges on the robots, sweat on Megan Fox' stomach, it's all in a clarity I didn't see or realize before. In addition, I halfway expected to see some pixelation or other artifacts through such a constantly moving frame, but everything holds up excellently, to the point that I'd say that this is as perfect as a film's going to look.

Sound:

The big news from this Blu-ray release was that there was going to be a lossless audio track accompanying it, as opposed to the Dolby Digital-Plus treatment the HD DVD gave it. Again, no longer having the HD DVD to make the comparisons, I've got to say that the TrueHD soundtrack brings the goods, perhaps more than the HD DVD did. Prepare yourself accordingly, as the amount of bass in the film will get the cops over to your house. It starts when the V-22 "Osprey" plane is flying through the desert in Qatar, minutes before Blackout attacks the U.S. Army base. You want directional effects? When one of the other Decepticons fires a group of missiles in the battle in Mission City, your rear speakers pick them up prominently and distinctly. Dialogue levels are firm and consistent, and panning activity is smooth from channel to channel. You wanted reference quality, you got it.
