The trailer quickly advances the story beyond earlier spots that focused on a secret moon landing. Here, the accent is on earthbound insanity as director Michael Bay unspools spectacular footage of crumbling skyscrapers. Unemployed ex-hero Sam Witwicky (played once again by Shia LaBeouf) tries to halt the mayhem, but he looks to be overmatched by the Decepticons created by Industrial Light & Magic.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, with new series newcomers Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley and John Malkovich, opens in 3-D on July 1.
