Edit: Downloading, now that I figured that redeeming the GOG code on steam wasn't going to work!
Thanks again Coelocanth - sorry for the mix-up.

The Transformers movie was a worth seeing as well, IMO. I know the 'in' thing right now is to hate all things Michael Bay, but if you go into this movie looking for action and big spectacle, you won't be disappointed.
Anyway on topic, thanks again for the giveaway Coelocanth and congrats to the hummer010. :)

I think many people don't want anything challenging when they look for entertainment in the theater. I believe most people are truly looking for mindless action/fun. And the Transformers movie delivers in spades.
Interesting you mention the new Planet of the Apes movie. Only about 5 minutes ago I asked the kids if they want to go see it tomorrow. I'm fairly stoked for this one, as it looks pretty darned good.

I certainly understand what you mean but why can't we have both in a summer movie i.e. good character development/story as well as spectacular action set pieces. To me it feels like a lot of people just settle for mediocrity instead of something both thought provoking and fun. It is exactly the reason why I have no desire to see Transformers but am eagerly anticipating the new Apes film because the first movie genuinely surprised me, as I wasn't really expecting much from it other then a mindless cash grab off an old well known franchise.
But surprisingly the movie had everything I want from a good film i.e. great character work/story and some great action beats all combined to provide a fantastic experience. Also another good example of a Summer movie done right is X-Men: Days of Future Past which I thought was the best of the franchise so far. :)
