The full theatrical trailer for this summer’s Transformers movie is now up on Yahoo!

While I’ve been a fan of the Transforming robots for many, many years, what’s really surprising me is the number of non-fans who’re getting really excited for the film. It does look so far that it could be a big hit of the summer.

Granted, I’m still not a huge fan of the aesthetic for the Transformers themselves, but I do appreciate that it was probably a necessary change in order to make the Transformers look good on the big screen, and not silly.

Meanwhile, in TV-land, there’s a 4 minute preview for the new Bionic Woman series up on NBC’s site:

I’ve been interested in this since I heard about it. I was always more of a fan of the Six Million Dollar Man, than The Bionic Woman, but since the rights to Steve are tied up in legal hell, pushing ahead with a Bionic Woman remake was a great idea. From the preview it definitely looks like it could be good, although we’ll know for sure once the pilot comes out.

I just hope it gets a fair shot at success. A lot of shows spend their first season finding their feet, and US TV has become increasingly impatient with shows that aren’t mind-blowing from the offset. Still, hopefully the success of Heroes will maybe convince the networks to give this a fair chance.
