Only if it's the real 80's Prime and not the Bayformer.

Just watched the blu-ray of this and I thought it was excellent. The cgi is amazing, some of the best I have ever seen. It is one thing to do goblins and such as no one knows what a real goblin looks like so you have nothing to really associate it with, but those apes--wow, some of those looked 100% real.
I was really pleased that it wasn't just 'all humans are bad except for one' and 'all the apes are really the good guys' as I was expecting. There are both good and bad on both sides, really well written and executed movie. Can't wait for more of these.

I have a question about motion capture these days. I remember back when the prequels came along and even LOTR stuff, watching the behind the scenes. I remember they would show the actor rehearsing the scene with the actors to give the actors a feeling of how to react. Then they would shoot the scene with just the actors, adding the CG character later.
Now I am watching the behind the scenes stuff of this movie and am seeing Andy Serkis and all the guys in their motion capture suits riding horses and actually acting with the other actors. Nowadays, do they still actually do the real shoot without the motion capture guys, or do they actually appear in the shot and are digitally removed?

How about Caesar flying Leader-1... Gobots need their due respect!! (ok... I couldn't write that with a straight face... especially since I watched a couple episodes of that show and my kids told me it was stupid and nothing like Transformers).
Santa brought me this film as I missed it in theaters. Absolutely stunning. Fantastic story and characters. Never thought I could care so much for something that's not real. Can't wait for the next one.
