I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think it's because they're often grading in HDR, and if you don't have a proper setup in a totally dark room, it can get dim as fuck. The grading in dark scenes is so delicately optimized for the best displays that it seems like they forget how that's gonna translate to 99% of the screens of the world.

A year prior to the release Ryan Reynolds posted a video on Instagram of himself talking about how quiet Michael Bay's movies are, while in the background a car explodes. This scene is in the movie and you can actually see Reynolds in the background filming the video for this post.

I need to watch it again to see this.

There are a few annoying Bay-isms and lame humor but I thought the action was done well. Which is not something I'd say about anything in Transformers.
