Michael Bay's original Transformers (2007), is (of the series), the one worth a couple of hours of your time. Even for civilians.
Paramount has released the series in 4k, beginning with the latest, The Last Knight, a couple of months ago. And now the first four in the updated format.
This is probably a series, that one will either love or hate, but for those in the former category, fans will be thrilled with what Paramount has done.
While I find HDR to be extremely film-centric, which works for some films, and not as well for others, here it really shines, along magnificent color, and rich, black blacks.
Audio, in Dolby Atmos, can turn one's home theater into a mini-IMAX venue, with absolutely superb sound.
There's no subtlety here. But you knew that. Few will enter a theater to see a Transformer film, and except to see something akin to Brief Encounter.
But for those lovers of everything Transformer, this is the stuff that...
It's a fun film, and a wonderful 4k offering.
