Wow. . .

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

Hmmm.....

Hard to tell much from that little bit. We don't even get a clear look at the transformer that attacks the probe.

Why the special hell are the transformers on Mars?

They're not. This is just the teaser, footage here will not be in the actual movie. The current thought is that the TF in the vid is just some generic Decepticon (the head looks a little like Astrotrain, but he'd likely have more kibble).

This is basically the equivalent of that Godzilla add where he steps through the museum roof onto the T-Rex, or a less well-executed version of the River Tam Sessions.

The basic point was to drum up interest and show a glimpse of what to expect. Personally, I think the new look of the TFs is a little underwhelming (too skeletal, not enough armour or recognizable kibble). Hopefully they'll be a bit bulkier in the actual film.

(Also hopefully we'll be able to see them through Bay's directing. I'm getting nightmares of the Transformers being perpetually obscured through extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme close-ups and shakeycam.)

DOH!

Beagle 2 wasn't a rover, it was a static probe. It was launched on a Russian Soyuz-Fregat, not an American Delta II like you see in the clip.

Now I'm sounding like a right space geek...

That was pretty worthless. Who else gets that sinking feeling like another good franchise is going down the toilet?

Yup. More and more, Serenity is looking like the last time anyone took any trouble with a script, didn't rely on flash, noise and CGI, didn't play safe and, blimey, ended up making a really decent film.

It'll be a long time before anyone has the guts to come as close.

But anyhow, there I go getting all morosified... Here's the best advert since Honda's "The Impossible Dream".

(Also check out 30-second version and the breakdancing variation.)
