The movie had a fair amount of juvenile humor but was otherwise really fun. I cared about the characters and all that. Killer '80s soundtrack. Conversion work was done by Stereo D, and the 3D depth was quality. No super special 3D moments, but lots of explosions and robot CGI in 3D. I'd love to own a Blu-ray 3D (Help me Random Space Media. You're our only hope.).

I had fewer issues with it. The only blockiness happened in very low light scenes for me. Otherwise it was ok.

Yeah, this is one of those movies I'd gladly fork out $100 for it on 3d Blu-Ray.

VR headset stuff is a bridge too far for me.

Just like Pikachu I didn't buy the 4k which tells me I didn't like Bumblebee that much. But both movies were more fun in 3D and I recently bought Pikachu 3D. Even with a low res VR copy, the Cybertron scenes look particularly good in 3D so I can only imagine what a full Blu-ray copy would look like. But I certainly would not spend $100 on it.
