Transformers 2 is bigger at IMAX!
Tuesday, June 9 by Julie Brown
Transformers 2 director Michael Bay has confirmed that the IMAX version of the film will be a slightly LONGER CUT and feature MORE ROBOT FIGHTING than any other version of the film.
Not only that, you'll also get to experience the full scale size of Optimus Prime, captured in a few scenes of the IMAX version of the film. Being shot in part with IMAX cameras, the film will expand vertically to fill the entire IMAX Darling Harbour screen, about 30 metres high.
"The way to see this movie is on IMAX. Never before has there been 4k rendered character animation shot on full IMAX 70 mm film. This is a first and the results are stunning. You will see Optimus Prime in a few shots where he is actually perfectly to scale on the IMAX 50 foot tall screens. For IMAX, I created a slightly longer cut with more robot fighting. Four scenes were shot on IMAX cameras so the screen will fill the full IMAX screen for these scenes." Michael Bay

chris 403 years agoMichael Bay should shoot on 70mm stock instead of 35mm as u get full uncompressed widescreen with 8k resolution. double that of 35mm film. Looks better with cgi aswell.
All major movies should film with 70mm as costs are hugely different and we can get much better quality. -
