If you are looking for Blu-ray Disc movie that can put your system to the test, as well as impress your friends, check out the current Blu-ray Disc release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Even if you are not particularly a fan of the Transformers movies series (Michael Bay's directing style is quite chaotic), the latest installment: Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a great example on how well a Blu-ray Disc can look and sound.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is mastered in Dolby TrueHD 7.1 and takes full advantage of all seven channels almost continuously. The abundant use of the surround channels really immerse you into the film.

However, although the film was originally released in 3D, this initial Blu-ray release is only available in 2D (there is a coupon in the package for $10 off the forthcoming 3D version), but even in 2D there is a lot of depth in the image. Transformers: Dark of the Moon on 2D Blu-ray is definitely worth it as a great home theater demo disc on how well how well surround sound can be utilized. However, there are no special features, its plot is thin, the script is cliche, and I felt the acting was "phoned in".
