Michael Bay Praises Blu-ray's Success

When Paramount Home Entertainment decided to support HD DVD exclusively, Michael Bay was vocally opposed. Since the decision came just as his Transformers would debut on high-definition home video, Bay threatened to back out of the sequel.

He took back his drastic comments and is hard at work developing Transformers 2, but now that Blu-ray is the format that is gaining momentum, Bay cannot help but remind us he told us so.

"Blu-ray's better, and I told everyone," Bay said at the Visual Effects Society's sixth annual award show, where he presented the award for animated character in a motion picture. "I was very vocal about it. I knew HD [DVD] was not going to make it."

All I want is Transformer on Blu-ray. That isn't too much to as is it?

moparful996708d ago

I dont blame you, as soon as I watched this movie in the theater first thought was I bet this is going to rock on blu-ray. But of course paramount decided to go against the grain and choose the loosing format... I wonder what the headlines will say when paramount finally decides to realease on blu-ray. "We always had a feeling that blu-ray was the superior format. But at the time we felt our best interest lay in the hd-dvd format." HaHa more like our interest layed in bill gates pockets and how much we could milk him for to prolong the hd format war.....

jackdoe6708d ago

The only Michael Bay movie worth watching, IMO, is The Rock, and that is already out on Blu-ray. Great release too. Good PQ, AQ, and some very nice special features.

jwatt6708d ago

I didn't know he did the Rock, if so then thats my second favorite Bay movie besides Transformers.

bootsielon6708d ago

He has no reason to be a fanboy or to be invested in Blu-ray as he worked with Paramount. I hope the fvcktard that delayed the end of the format war and made paramount not release on Blu-ray gets a serious scolding from his superiors, whoever they are.

LAME. Bay= epic failure.

Ashta6708d ago

Ummm...PanzerFaust?

Armageddon, Bad Boys, Bad Boys 2, Pearl Harbor, The Island, The Rock, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Transformers would like to have a word with you.

If your going to call a Director/Producer an "EPIC failure" try to pick one that who's movies haven't made millions of dollars and weren't box office hits. You look smarter if you follow my advice.

Rocko6708d ago (Edited 6708d ago )

LOL thanks for proving my point. The Rock was the only semi-good movie in that list of garbage. Your crappy advice isn't looking so good, i'll pass.

*btw, he didn't direct TCM*

Whoooop6708d ago (Edited 6708d ago )

Transformers might-or might not- be a good movie, but we owe it to ourselves to watch this beauty on High Definition and at least a 5.1 sound system.

TheHater6708d ago

I have to agree with you. I grew up watching Transformer, and it something I would like to own in my collection. Not because it a good or bad movie, but because it part of my childhood.

jackdoe6708d ago

I felt the same sense of nostalgia when I went to see the movie, and as a result my disappointment with the movie is multiplied. Michael Bay and the writers of Transformers forgot that we didn't want to see Shia or Megan Fox for 60% of the movie, even though Fox is decent eye candy. We wanted to fvcking see Optimus kick Megatron's ass, and we didn't even see that. Hell, Optimus's memorable "One shall stand, one shall fall" was offscreen! None of the Autobots were developed well, and none of the Decepticons had any character development.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy65d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
