To be honest I'm kinda missing the sun kissed lighting of the typical bay movies. This digital blue, though intriguing, I find is hindering the ILM cg from being as (better than everything else) excellent as it usually is. This looks more like Avatar, which don't get me wrong was "great," but not as great as the cg ILM+Bay usually produce. The staging looks to be intact though.
This rescue operation also seems interesting but I'm more interested in the buzz aldren sentinel prime moon rescue. They need to feature that in the full trailer.
Shia also seems to have really become a real dude since the first.
