Part 2/9:
The initial film contained 64 different brands.
Revenge of the Fallen had 45 brands.
Dark of the Moon skyrocketed to 68 brands.
Transformers: Age of Extinction featured 55 brands.
This saturation translates to roughly one product shot every two minutes in the original film. Such pervasive promotion blurs the line between storytelling and advertising, turning what could be a cohesive narrative into a billboard on celluloid.
