From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, in association with Hasbro, Transformers: Dark of the Moon explodes with high-octane action when a mysterious event from Earth?s past erupts into the present day threatening to bring a war to Earth so big that the TRANSFORMERS alone will not be able to save the earth.

"For fans who can?t wait, the Blu-ray? release will deliver an awesome ride with the movie in stunning high definition and a 7.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack that was personally overseen by our phenomenal supervising sound mixer just for the Blu-ray?," said director Michael Bay.
"As you know, we put a lot of effort into the 3D experience for the theatrical release and I want to make sure we get it right for home viewing-and that process takes time. So stay tuned for an even more incredible release that will include the film on Blu-ray? 3D and loads of bonus features."
