Michael Bay and James Cameron recently sat down to discuss the future of the 3D Movie Industry. And to everyone’s delight, Mr. Bay revealed 15 minutes of footage from his upcoming movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Among that was revealed is the first 5 minutes or so from the movie.
You can read on to findout the description from Cinema Blend. You may find the next bit to be Spoiler filled.
The airship with the precious cargo begins to fly away from the planet’s surface just when Decepticon ships successfully blow it up. We’re then transported to 1961 New Mexico where the surface of the moon is being analyzed. We then see the Autobot ship crash land and scientists detect the impact. Knowing that they need to see what’s going on, a call is made to Washington and a CGI version of John F. Kennedy is shown discussing America’s need to beat the Russians to the moon in order to figure out exactly what’s going on. We then watch archive footage of JFK’s famous address in which he stressed the importance of getting a man on the moon.
More archive footage of Apollo 11’s launch is shown as well as Walter Cronkite’s news coverage of the event. Finally we see Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land on the lunar surface, with Armstrong proclaiming that “The Eagle has landed,” before giving his famous line, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” After this quote, a man at mission control turns a knob and the signal feed is cut. Even some NASA scientists have no idea what’s going on. Speaking to the astronaut on a private feed, one of the insider’s says “Neil, you are dark on the rock. Mission is a go. You have 21 minutes.”
Neil and Buzz then travel across the moon’s surface to the location of the crashed ship, which is enormous in contrast to the size of the humans approaching it. Arriving at the edge of the ship, Neil kneels down and the dust sinks down to reveal a giant metal face. Reporting the findings, Neil then says that the ship has suffered a great deal of damage and that they won’t have time to explore the entire ship. There are no signs of life, but what the astronauts witness is not lost on him. “We are not alone, are we?” Mission control says into the radio. “No we are not,” Neil responds.
We then watch archive footage of President Richard Nixon as he praises the efforts of NASA in getting a man mission successfully to the moon. The command module Columbia flies safely into the Pacific Ocean and the entire mission is viewed as a success, with the general public having no idea about their actual motives. As the heroes are arriving back on land, a metallic suitcase is placed into a trunk labeled “Top Secret.” Back on the moon the camera flies into the inner bowels of the ship where we see a giant transformer – to later be identified as Sentinel Prime – whose eyes suddenly begin to glow, suggesting that he is still active. Flying into the robot’s pupil, moving machinery forms the film’s title: Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

seeing as how all the protoform versions of all those characters were exactly the same in the 07 movie, you may just get what you wish for
tho they may not be explicitly those characters, you can always pretend ^__^

So looking forward to this film! Can not wait!

Can't wait to see that cybertron battle.
MadCatTonton
I have a feeling we're gonna hear the line "I'll rip out your optics!!" in this movie, maybe it'll be Prime saying it to Shockwave( obviously "optic" ).
cnic
Well. Thanks to this thread I can now not have to skip in line to get my popcorn.

In the book it is Starscream that chases after the Ark in the opening scene so maybe we will see Stacream in his true Cybertronian form in the opening of the movie. That would rock!! If so, I hope they make a good toy version of him.
FrankyWest
Well, that would make people want to buy the toy right? Right?

I did say months ago that maybe we would see Jazz again if any part of the movie took place before 2007. So maybe we'll see him on Cybertron.
taylor_t
That would be pretty cool, since we only got brief glimpses of Prime, Ironhide, and Jazz as protoforms. I'd like to see a movieverse Cybertronian Starscream. Maybe it will relate to Prime telling Sam and Mikaela about Cybertron and Megatron-perhaps what happened before it showed Megs chucking the spear at the unnamed Cybertronian.
Starscreamownz
It says its him in the novel.
Also who here is wondering about seeing some current autobots on earth in this "majestic battle scene" between the original first movie autobots and the cons. Like protoform versions of Ironhide, Jazz, Bumblebee and Ratchet fighting the decepticons with some others like the wreckers, Mirage, and Sideswipe.

Ahhmm.. Can you kindly tell where it says Prime was on Cybertron on the opening sequence? I believe he was just doing a voice over as mentioned… Correct me if I'm wrong..
nametaken
could have been more spoilery by talking about more than just the opening.
as it stands its not really a spoiler at all. unless possibly someone hadn't seen the trailer. confirming the ship came from cybertron is hardly going to raise any eyebrows.
moreprimeland
Not too much new info..but I like the fact that we see …
SPLIT LIP
I don't remember
in the trailer.
Also, what do you mean by "not as much spoiler as it could have been?" That doesn't make sense, they showed the opening, they described it. How could they have spoiled more when the opening is mostly an extension of the first trailer?

I have to resist reading and watching these scenes that have been coming out lately

That's what I'm thinking. Thankfully this wan't an actual spoiler for me since it kinda makes sense. But from now on I'm staying away form spoilers.

cheese man, the amount of trailers and footage being shown on TV and the internet there is gonna be like half of the movie gone before we even get to see it..
