I remember seeing this film like it was yesterday. Seeing Blackout transform while being totally blown away by the godlike cgi, it was one of the few films I’ve seen that really captured my imagination. I was already a Transformers fan at the time but it reinvigorated my love for it and created a forever fan in me. 15 long years later, I still cling to these few brief moments of joy I’ve experienced in my life. Memories are all I have left.

[@unknown9021]

how so?

[@PhelesDragon]

@@unknown9021 No movie had ever had aliens that were as "humanized" as the ones in Transformers 2007 (while being simultaneously so non-human). The studio execs actually pushed Michael Bay to have the aliens not speak English, which stuck long enough that Bumblebee didn't have any dialogue, hence the radio speak. Freely English speaking aliens opened up the MCU to not having to solve that problem, as Transformers had previously introduced movie-going audiences up to the idea. Dark of the Moon invented the blue sky beam that was used (and popularized) by Avengers the following year. In fact, the third act from Avengers is aesthetically lifted from Dark of the Moon. Men In Black 3 also stole that aesthetic, but it was a much less popular movie, so no one really cared.

When this movie hit the theatres, I was probably 14 or 15 years old. My school friend who was also my bench partner, we both were absolutely crazy about Transformers. We grew up watching Transformers Armada on Cartoon Network during our school days. One of our favourite episode from Armada was when Optimus Prime merges with Jetfire to form the JetConvoy. I still remember I watched it in the morning and right after arriving in school, me and my friend, our first conversation was about the episode. That was a really good day! That episode is still etched in my memory. I was also surprised when they showed something similar with Jetfire and Optimus in Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen. There is a lot of magic in this first movie. My excitement for the Transformers movie series lasted till Dark Side of The Moon.

I swear the whole room went cheering the moment Optimus first spoke

I don't know why I'm crying but thank you for sharing this! I was one of many who watched this movie first day first show and this brings back some awesome memories! Thank you my friend.

I did watch this movie in DVD when we had movies in CDs in Hindi dubbing. This scene, hits me good, my most favorite ever, Arrival of core 5 Autobots.

This crowd reaction gives me goose bumps. Me and 8 of my bros saw this opening night. Lines for all 6 night showings…I’ve never seen inside a movie theatre have that much people and traffic jams of people trying to get to their right theatre number. Complete sell outs that there weee ushers checking peoples tickets to avoid theatre jumpers and overcrowding. The music to this scene was so perfect because it projects “the good guys and hope is fixing to land”. When Optimus Prime transformed for the first time, I’ve never seen half a full theatre become unglued!!! Dudes high fiving each other, people standing up and running up and down the aisle….it was pure awesomeness and done perfectly to the true Transformers fans AND to people who kind of knew transformers and….people who didn’t know anything about the series became fans instantly!

Thanks and kudos to Michael bay and entire team of Transformers for making such a masterpiece of a film in first attempt.🙏🏼

[@ForceMaximus84]

My favorite scene in the movie. Michael Bay really played on the build-up of seeing Optimus and the Autobots for the first time in dynamic shots to give us something this fantastic.

[@michaeliaqu]

my dad took me and my mom to the theatre when this came out. i remember being reluctant before going (teenage girl you know the deal) and my dad PROMISED us we'd like it. dude was I physically SHAKING in my seat when i saw 1:00 !!! it was something i'd never seen before even in my wildest imagination. i kept shaking throughout the rest of the movie lol! this created such a new era for CGI. unsurpassable movie.

[@notvitzy]

i was 2 when this came out and still gives me the chills fam.

[@OakBuzzard22]

Hard to believe this film will be 15 years old out here where I live it came out in theaters July 4th I think at least that is what the trailers said anyway. This movie as well as all of the Bayverse Transformers movies will forever be my favorite franchise. Still have a love hate relationship with The Last Knight though but other than that still love these movies and they are apart of my childhood very nostalgic for me especially this film I was 7 years old when I saw this in theaters

[@johnboko7110]

Same Man, We both are the same age now next year is Rise of the Beasts and we'll be 23

[@OakBuzzard22]

@@johnboko7110 Yep I can't wait to see Rise of the Beasts. And yeah when that comes out we'll be 23. God it makes me feel so old especially since my birthday is next month too almost half the movies I grew up with are really old now it's crazy

Cant deny to it

[@PhoenixPrime]

I would’ve LOVED to have seen this in theaters when it came out 15 years ago! I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about the live-action movies, but I grew up with them and loved (most of) them to pieces!

[@MrDoddi1984]

That first transformation: My mouth dropped at its amazing special effects. And it still gives me goosebumps to this day!!!!

[@skysamfreeman]

I remember going to the first showing on July 2nd at 8 PM. Completely packed theater. I'll never forget the reaction at 0:24. One of my favorite movie theater memories.

[@drachin5020]

One of the only movie scenes that makes me share tears instantly❤❤❤❤❤ such a wonderful master piece

[@DirtySam0410]

Even tho Im not the biggest fan of Michael Bay's transformers, I have to say, this scene does capture the magic and joy of seeing Transformers in live action for the first time. It really does.

[@drw_predator]

All I want is to be back inside that Theater..GOD I miss 2007-2009 revolution in CINEMA with pure IMAX and AVATAR

[@ZER0BUCKS]

Michael Bay filmed an absolute masterpiece in blockbuster genre. Music, graphics, epic - everything is perfect

[@surrealpsalms]

Just realized there is a reference to the scene of them approaching Sam in the hangar in the new transformers movie that came out. That’s sick.

[@avgguy7129]

This still gives me chills down to the spine

[@GypsyDanger514]

I was in high school when this came out. I’m 35 now and I still remember the hype.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

The Transformers series doesn't deserve nearly all the hate it gets. The fifth one deserves a bit, I'll grant, but still.

[@TheRedRaven_]

I seriously can’t believe this movie is 15 years old now. I remember every second of this movie the first time I saw it with my friends. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen in theaters period.

[@felixcuthbert2719]

I honestly did not know back then, that the Voice Actor behind this Prime, was, and still is the same Voice Actor behind the original Optimus Prime - Peter Cullen. The number of fans, who must have cheered or yelped when he spoke those faithful words.

[@X0295-m8t]

I was 14 when I went to see this in the cinema with my dad, I remember this scene. I was completely mind boggled and wasn't exactly sure where to look because of all the pieces flying around all over the place.

[@ExtremeTourname]

Although some people not really like Bay's film. But thanks to Michael Bay he brought us Transformers movies on big screen and opened a new era of Transformers. Many transformers cartoon and toys are made after this movie released. Even a ride at universal studios.

[@DerangedIntellectual9]

holy shit i was 5 when this movie came out. good times i can't believe you had this gem of a video from 15 years ago. chills everytime!

Nunca olvidaré ese día en cine sentí mucha emoción al ver a mis Transformers favoritos en la pantalla grande! 👏🥺❤️😍
