Are you saying that the trailer itself was absurd? Or that a Transformers movie is absurd?

I'm actually relatively excited about this movie. Yeah, it is being directed by Michael Bay, and the first screenwriter they had was the same guy who gave us Catwoman - but they've since replaced him with some marginally more respectable writers. However, they've also got the original voice actors for Optimus Prime and Megatron on board, and have so far only cast about three human characters. So I'm cautiously optimistic.
