Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen -The Kitten Calendar Ed.

wait a sec...Who said that they're that old? (or young;))

Primes could be even several millions year old (or more) at the time of Fallen's...well...fall. Yes, they were ancient ancestors, but transformers race must have existed long before this event (as they've been traveling through the universe long before arriving to Earth). So only the autobot vs decepticons war which was supposedly started by Fallen's rebellion would be 17 000 year old, not transformers race.

I prefer when Primes sacrificed their lives for humans than for dinosaurs, especially when there is no reason for that second version to be any better than the first one.

The problem I have is that they are a very old race, and yet the events, or "the fall" is treated as some ancient event that happened a long long time ago in Transoformers history, but relative to the life span of an average Transformer, it wasn't very long at all, and yet somehow they've lost their entire history and language in this time. I just don't like it at all.

And what I've done doesn't remove the possibility of it being 17,000 B.C. or humans the Prime's were protecting, it just doesn't explicitly lock it down, and leaves it more open to the possibility of the Prime's being here millions of years ago if that's what one would like to believe.

Removing everything relating to this (with the exception of Jetfire's talk) also saves the revelation that Transformers were on Earth previously until Simmons reveals this to Sam and company.

On a side note: The DVD-9 will be available at MU in about an hour and a half.

Fanedit details: Dual-Layer DVD, original aspect ratio, ac-3 5.1 audio. DVD includes menus (with animated buttons) and scene selection designed to fit the theme of the Edition name.

Your intention for this fanedit: My intention was to trim down the excess fat to speed up the pacing and hopefully increase the sense of
urgency, and help the film not drag so much. I also wanted to remove the aspects that limited the scope to such a seemingly small period of
time (relative to the Transformers lifespan). There were other various poor jokes, continuity errors, geographical mistakes that I tried to
correct as much as possible.

Your way to achieve your intention: For the most part just find what didn't work and wasn't necessary or was repetetive and remove it.
Sometimes this required rearrangement of audio or video, and some fixes required cropping of scenes as well.

Hardware and software information (what did you use to create your fanedit): Axus quad-core processor with blu-ray drive. Original retail
blu-ray (Big Screen Edition, i.e. IMAX version) was used as a source. DVDFab was used for capture. NeroVision was used to make a new file
of the movie with less timestamp errors. Nerovision was primarily used for the first half of editing. Sony Vegas Pro 9 was used later to
finish and fix problems with Nero's output. NeroVision was used for menus.

Additional Comment: This is not the edit for those who hated the Twins, this is for those who liked the Twins, but had other issues with the
movie, particularly the pacing. I will have another edit availabe, "The Real Effing Deal" for those who hate the Twins.

Time needed for the edition: About a month
persons involved: Kevinicus


DVD-9 is now available at MU.
 
Polishing the ole turd huh?

Whatever butters your fecal matter I guess.
 
The comment above should be deleted I think...

Have you watched the edit? Do you have anything more constructive to say than what appears to be throwaway comments thus far?

Why would I do that?

I might as well watch a fan edit of the the kardashians for all the difference it would make.
 
careful, robthom, this is a nice community. You will not be the first to leave us for being rude.
 
I am checking DVD-9 version (I got first vob already) and I think that the picture when compared to original DVD release which was very (and I mean VERY) sharp (I am turning down sharpness and contrast on my TV when I am watching it) looks the opposite way. Image is very soft here...
I was wondering if there is something wrong with my eyes for a moment :wat:

I'm not sure why it looks like that. I tested it out on my computer at home.

When I use PowerDVD it looks more like your first picture, when I use Nero Showtime it looks like your 2nd picture.
 
Hi,

what is the difference between the DVD5 and DVD9 versions? Is the DVD9 version better quality or are they about the same in terms of quality?

DVD9 should be better quality since it's at a higher bitrate, but I don't think the difference is going to be that great personally.
 
The Blu-ray version is now available for this.
