Michael Bay posted one last update on his official blog before heading off to the premiere of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" in Japan and mentioned a few interesting things. Not only does he confirm that there are a total of 42 different robots in this movie, but that it's just barely getting finish because of the attention to detail all of the animators are putting in. He also mentions that the IMAX version of the movie will be "slightly longer" with "more robot fighting." Now you know exactly where you'll have to see this in theaters starting on June 24 - in IMAX!
"What you will notice that is strikingly different than Transformers 1, is the level of animation detail. The robot characters (42 in all), you really can feel empathy for them. What is also very different is the sheer scale of the movie. We have been very tight holding back much of the best imagery in commercials and trailers." This is good because I prefer to get the best surprises from the film and not have them spoiled in trailers.
"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." He adds: "Four scenes were shot on IMAX cameras so the screen will fill the full IMAX screen for these scenes."
So if you want to see the FULL version of "Transformers 2," then IMAX is where you will have to go. Otherwise you're going to have to wait until the flick hits DVD to see what you missed. I wonder if this is another gimmick to sell IMAX seats which cost more money than normal theater seats...
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
