Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)
![]() |
| |||||||||||||||
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the third film in the live-action film series. It was released in 3D and IMAX at 9PM on June 28, 2011[1] and in wide release on June 29, 2011[2] in the United States, and between June 29 and July 1 for other markets.
The film is set three years after the events of Revenge of the Fallen. The Autobots continue to work for NEST, but no longer in secret, and for the goal of keeping peace between humans by taking out volatile overseas political targets. But after discovering a strange artifact during a mission in Chernobyl, it becomes apparent to Optimus Prime that the United States government has been less than forthright with them.
And SCENE!

Synopsis
Quotes
Main cast
Errors
- The Moon does not rotate with respect to Earth, and Mare Tranquillitatis is near the middle of the near side. Therefore, Tranquility Base could never be described as being on the far side/dark side, and Earth is never as close to the horizon as shown in the movie.
- When the modern day site of the Apollo 11 landing is seen, the ascent module (the cabin Buzz and Neil flew back to orbit in) is still there.
- Sam is supposedly living in Washington, DC, but skyscrapers appear in background shots outside his loft. That city has no skyscrapers.
- Also, Washington, DC almost entirely lacks old industrial buildings that could be converted into lofts.
- In the Highway Scene, Bumblebee enhances his front wheels to evade Hatchet, yet in the next scene he's fully in Stealth Force.
- When the Autobots are boarding the Xantium, it's said that eight of them are leaving. Even assuming Wheelie and Brains don't count, that number is at least one too small.
Transformers references
- "Carly" was the name of Spike Witwicky's girlfriend and eventual wife in the original cartoon.
- The Ark gets its name from the Autobots' crashed spaceship in the Marvel Transformers comics.
- When the worker at Accureta systems is trying to make the photocopier work, it plays a tune like the original cartoon's theme song.
- The idea of bringing Cybertron to Earth via space bridge and enslaving humans was the plot of the well-regarded Generation 1 multi-part episode "The Ultimate Doom."
- Likewise, the idea of an influential and powerful human joining forces with the Decepticons, resulting in the Autobots being exiled from Earth by the government via a spacecraft, only for that spacecraft to be destroyed, was the plot behind another popular Generation 1 cartoon multi-part episode, "Megatron's Master Plan."
- Megatron removing Abraham Lincoln from his chair at the Lincoln Memorial and then sitting in it is a scene taken directly from the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "Atlantis, Arise!", and the Decepticon ending for Transformers: The Game (sort of).
- The Xantium is the name of the Wreckers' spaceship in the IDW Publishing's Transformers comics.
- Megatron declares "All Hail Megatron!"
Real-world references
- When Brains and Wheelie are watching Star Trek: The Original Series, the screen features Mr. Spock, portrayed by Leonard Nimoy — who voices Sentinel Prime. They comment that it is "the one where Spock goes nuts," which foreshadows Sentinel's heel turn.
- Sentinel Prime says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." The voice actor said the same line in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as Mr. Spock. However in that movie, Nimoy's character dies a hero.
- To finish the Spock trifecta, when Bumblebee says his goodbyes to Sam, he uses a clip of Leonard Nimoy, as Spock, saying "I will always be your friend.", another line from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
- Dutch and his fake girlfriend's name, "India", are a reference to Dutch India.
- Que's name may be a reference to Q from James Bond novels and films. Que also gives weapons to NEST soldiers while explaining the advantages and abilities for the weapons much like Q does for James Bond.
- Part of the scene of the car-chase battle in Washington DC is "borrowed" from the 2005 film The Island, another film by Michael Bay.[7][8] Bay admitted, stating it was nothing wrong for the energy saving and carbon reduction.[9]

Cast and crew signing on

On May 30, 2007, a month before the official release of Transformers, DreamWorks announced that two sequels were already being planned.[10] On March 16, 2009, over three months before the premiere of Revenge of the Fallen, Paramount announced the third movie for July 1, 2011.[11] Director Michael Bay promptly backpedaled, as he had intended for the third Transformers movie to be released in 2012.[12] He officially changed his mind in October 2009, agreeing to the release date set by Paramount.[13]
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, two of the previous two movies' screenwriters, had already announced in March 2009 that they would not return for a third part.[14] In September 2009, their Revenge co-writer Ehren Kruger was confirmed as the screenwriter of Transformers 3.[15] Kruger had already impressed both director Michael Bay and Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner with his knowledge of Transformers mythology prior to working on Revenge.[16]
In an interview with Wonderland magazine in September 2009, Megan Fox, the main female star of the previous two movies, discussed the harsh conditions on the sets and compared director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler.[17] Bay initially played down the affair and still welcomed Fox back for the third installment a month later.[13] Even though Fox was still spotted on the Transformers 3 set in May 2010[18], Paramount announced a few weeks later that she wouldn't return for a third movie after all.[19] Still that same month, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was confirmed as her replacement.[20] In 2011, Michael Bay finally confirmed in an interview with GQ magazine that it had been Steven Spielberg, executive producer of the Transformers movies, who had urged him to fire Fox following the Hitler comparison.[21]
In March 2010, Oscar winners John Malkovich and Frances McDormand signed on for supporting roles.[22]
Writing and production
For the scene where Lennox and his soldier jump out of a V-22 Osprey using wingsuits, Michael Bay used real parachutists and thus avoided unnecessary CG effects. In fact, he had been inspired for this scene in the first place by watching the parachutists in their wingsuits on television[23] and wrote the scene with the intention of using the parachutists in the movie.[24]
For the Aollo 11 moon landing mission in the flashback sequence at the beginning of the movie, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are played by actors Don Jeanes and Cory Tucker, respectively. In the present day timeline, Aldrin himself appears briefly as his own older self.[25]
Two accidents happened during shooting: In September 2010, while shooting in East Chicago, Indiana, a female extra was severely injured when a stunt scene went wrong, leaving her with permanent brain damage, the left side of her body paralyzed and her left eye stitched shut. Paramount was subsequently sued for damages by the victim's family.[26] While shooting in Washington, D.C., in October 2010, one of the Chevrolet Camaro prop cars that serve as Bumblebee's alternate mode crashed into a police car. Nobody was seriously injured this time.[27]
Changes before, during and after production
- In January 2010, James Avery claimed in an interview that he would be playing a new Autobot named Silverbolt.[28] Nothing ever became of this.
- In an earlier draft of the movie's script, Megatron is serious when he offers Optimus Prime a truce at the end. Optimus accepts, and Megatron and the remaining Decepticons leave Earth to rebuild Cybertron. This ending is used for the novelization and the comic adaptation.
- The Twins, Skids and Mudflap, were originally supposed to return for Dark of the Moon. Even though General Motors provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes[29], the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.[30] In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
