Michael Bay is back to deliver the latest onslaught of mindless robot carnage this summer. We saw a teaser and Super Bowl spot, but now we have the first full-length theatrical trailer for the film starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Tudyk, John Turturro, and Leonard Nimoy.
Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are out this time, handing over the reigns to Ehren Kruger, who worked with them on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Kruger was also behind Scream 3, Reindeer Games, and The Ring.
From someone who enjoyed the first Transformers, but despised the last one, I’m hesitant about Bay’s latest. Like almost all of his trailers it looks slick, but barely includes the idiotic dialogue and characters found in nearly all of his films. The participation of Jeong and Tudyk as comedic relief, instead of racist robots, make me a bit more excited, but it is difficult to be truly looking forward to this one.

Synopsis:
“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” features Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. The film centers around the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet’s most dangerous secrets. The villain of the third film will be Shockwave.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters July 1st, 2011 in 3D.
Can Bay redeem himself after Revenge of the Fallen?
