Yep, apparantly James Cameron turned up and some point and talked him into doing it right, they've even got the same team as Avatar working on it.

That's just fantastic news. I despise post-production 3D but this.....this is what proper 3D is made for. Fun - like Piranha 3D before it; it's a gimmick, and knows it.

I'm also thinking this will will be my "Okay 3D, this is your last chance" movie. I mean I haven't been impressed by 3D since Avatar. The 3D trailer looks promising.

If AVATAR 3D didn't do anything for you then nothing will mate. I'm no proponent of 3D by any stretch but some films are made to be gimmicked; just mindless entertaining fun!

I'm sticking with the 2D version unless the reviews can convince me otherwise, really don't want to be wearing those glasses for 2 & a 1/2 hours.

Tranformers 1 & 2 had blurry enough action as it was, don't need 3D to be make it worse for me.

Though, I do imagine this will be one of 3D cinema's better offerings considering the money and technology gone into this production..............at least it would want to be or else this will be a pretty big nail in it's coffin.

Pirahna was post production 3D as well afaik, I still think the best 3D movie I saw aside from Avatar was Jackass, it was brillianty used

I said I haven't been impressed by 3D since Avatar. I thought the 3D in Avatar was superb, but nothing since has come close.

Unless you're Quentin Tarantino, if you're looking at the soles of her feet then you're doing it wrong!!!!

Ah. Em....UP had great 3D imo...can't think of anything else not mentioned that's decent in 3D though.

I have a mate that is staunch in his believe that Fox is as pretty as 'Newman in a wig'. :rolleyes::p Just move on lol

Lots of action stuff in this trailer. Really don't like the new Linkin park song though..

Drive Angry 3D is about the only film since Avatar which did something fun and new with the tech. I believe that Transformers 3 will be a true spectacle in 3D, Bay was venomously against shooting in 3D and it took months of Cameron and others selling the tech to him before he decided shoot in 3D.

What did Drive Angry 3D do well? I refuse to watch anything with Nick Cage in it these days

There is a truly breath taking scene where a number of flash backs are layered atop one another, it's a genuinely brilliant use of 3D. Over all the 3D in Drive Angry was used very well, not a whole lot of stuff being thrown at the audience just a hell of a lot of depth to the image.

Good footage, pity about the horrific LP song (Was never a fan of them in the 1st place :pac:). Doesn't suit a movie that's about robots kicking the shìt out of each other, though.

He's not. It's provoked quite a bit of debate in the press about the ethics of the science behind it, and from the fanboys who think that the end product still looks a bit melted. They tried the same process on Harrison Ford, but something went wrong.

I've stubbornly refused to watch anything in 3D since Jaws 3D many years ago. I'll be making an exception for this though.

I dunno, Bay's Transformers' movies have been a heavy assault on the eyes up until now; the idea of the same epileptic carnage being in "proper" 3D makes me feel nauseous just thinking about it.

I was watching some of Revenge of the Fallen (dont ask) yesterday and theres plenty of scenes that have 3D written all over them, it could be spectacular, it could be vertigo inducing madness, lets wait and see

Basically she compared Bay to Hitler, among other things, and Spielberg subsequently had her fired

Was just watching the amazing chase sequence in "The Rock" and realised that that scene alone surpasses every scene in the transformers movies. You can see all the standard Bay action techniques but he doesn't overuse them to the point of you wanting to strangle him.

**** it, 3D maybe will die in a couple years. I've only seen Avatar. This has got to be better in 3D than... you know. Most stuff. Which musta sucked.

Trying to book tickets for Liffey valley using a laser card with maestro,but not working. Does anyone know of a way to book using laser? The iPhone app has laser as an option, but doesn't let you pick your seats like online???

As a 3D virgin, does anyone know the best cinema for 3D in the Dublin area? Or does it not really matter?

Don't think it really matters. The few films I've watched have been in Cineworld and they were terrible. I thought they were terrible due to the fact the 3D was terrible and not because of the screen they were shown on.

5.00 onwards... the sweeping camera low down while the main character gets up/out of a car... sickeningly Bay

Id replace that word with epic. I love that shot. Oh and helicopters flying past the sun.

you also have his standard depiction of black characters which got him into alot of sh*t in revenge but it's so minor here you miss it (equally in the full film you have his superficial treatment of female characters with there really only being 2. A family saint and a sex object.)

By the time you get to revenge these elements are sickingly excessive to the level that one is tempted to believe the story that Bay auditioned Megan Fox by having her wash his car (http://www.thesuperficial.com/michael_bay_has_secret_audtion-07-2009) and possibly that the only black people he's ever met are ones he is paying.
