Not too pump about the added footage described above but watching it on an IMAX screen. That is the main event! Can I hear an AMEN!

Now I know why they aren't bothering to include this stuff on the DVD.

we still are left wondering if Starscream may have fired upon his commander in chief, Megatron.

Starscream didn't fire on Megs; two reasons.

He bugs out after the surprise of his initial attack on the raptors wears off and they get behind him. We see him lifting skyword right before the sceen cuts away; in the book he was doing this to get away from the raptors chasing him.

The jets that fire on Megs are opperating in wing pairs. Asside from the fact that a pilot would have known he was not flying beside his wingman due to communication issues; all he would have had to do was look over at the the other plane to see that the jet next to him was not his wingmans jet (squadron insignia, flight markings, excetra)

I'm still having trouble trying to figure out how this will be good. The normal screen was hard enough to grasp a lot of the scenes due to the bots being overly-detailed. Won't this just make it seem like big random detailed metal parts all over the place? Eh, we'll see =D.

As much as I would love to see this movie on an IMAX screen, the nearest one to me is at the Udvar-Hazy Annex for the National Air & Space Museum in Chantilly, so I'll have to skip it, unless it's open another weekend.

some of those scenes are from the book

Man, u think a guy that works on the northside of Chicago (ME) would know these things.

Im going to see it.

I'm seeing the IMAX version tomorrow. The scenes sound boring and I won't miss them on the DVD, but I'm still excited to see it. This'll be my first IMAX film, and I couldn't think of a better movie to see.

speak the truth man....i still hate that the fanboys still wont except the truth...like if it never happened on film or was even hinted it never **** happened.

Just came back from seeing it. The extra footage wasn't that great but the dynamic range of sounds and clearer image more than made up for it!

i just saw it earlyer too, i liked the scene at the pawn shop the best out of all the extra stuff

Got back a little while ago from seeing it in Raleigh, North Carolina (at the Exploris). Awesome way to wind up watching it in theatrical release! The extra scenes don't add too terribly much to it (although I'll agree with what's said above the pawn shop scene was pretty good, hilarious even). But the main draw really was being able to watch Transformers on as I put it "the big-ass screen". One nice thing about the IMAX version is that during the bigger action scenes you can make out a lot more detail and who's doing what while it's all going on.

I don't think I've ever been in a movie theater that has vibrated nearly as much as happened with Transformers in IMAX. This is pure sound and fury comin' at ya! Definitely worth catching (and I might drive 2 hours again this coming week to see it again with a friend )

i saw it today in imax! awesome!.... for the record, i didnt go for the extra scenes really, i went more of watching it on the biggest screen ever with pulse pounding sound. awesome!

I thought the fight scenes looked great on the IMAX screen.

I can officially confirm my previous spotting of an easter egg.
In Anthony Anderson's room on the 3rd or 4th shelf in the back wall of his room there are a bunch of Robot figures. On the far left you can see Shockwave's big ass head.

Eh, I may still go see it if I get the time off work, but it would only be to see SUPERSIZED GIANT ROBOT ACTION OMG. The added scenes sound lame. I was fed up with the humans by the time Sam said "I was wondering if I could ride you home."

Thanx for the in depth analysis brother although I must say it was a bit of a "letdown" for lack or better words..

i love movies in the imax. im so glad i saw TF on fri night. thats how it should of been since the begining

... Why is there not an IMAX showing in Maryland? I wanna see Prime life-size damn it!

I live in Maryland (just north of Baltimore) and there is an IMAX fairly close (about a little over an hour drive for me anyway). It is one of the 3 IMAX theaters that the Smithsonian hosts. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center IMAX Theater in Chantilly VA is showing TF until the end of October (It is located near Dulles Airport). Go to http://www.imax.com and you can find info on this, as well as directions.

Barricade... Barricade...

Where art thou?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be an Autobot.

Nope. There is NO additional footage of the robots in vehicle mode or robot mode (except for Classic Camaro Bumblebee with Sam and Miles). If you think about the movie's score, they could only add in scenes where there was a break in the score (basically scenes without music in the background). Paul pointed this out tonight while we were watching the movie. I've never thought about that when it comes to adding in deleted or extended scenes. Those scenes have to be able to fit where the score will allow.

Not true. The scene where Sam gets S7 to release Bumblebee is longer. In the theatrical release Bumblebee gets up and points his cannon for a bit, Sam talks to him then he puts it away. In the IMAX one he has to be talked to more and flips back his mask for a bit before he does.

Saturday (October 13) me and my buddy are going to see in in Amsterdam (where I come from). Im looking forward to it! Not that I haven't seen the movie enough (this is my 6th time now)...

I saw Transformers at the IMAX last Saturday night and it was excellent! The added clarity to every scene made it all worth while. I enjoyed it so much more on the IMAX screen. This movie was obviously meant to be watched in hi definition. To be honest, it was rather difficult to watch at the regular theater. There just wasn't enough clarity and it moved too fast. It made me dizzy. At the IMAX it was perfectly clear and I thoroughly enjoyed every action scene with all the excitement and visual brilliance but without the feeling of vertigo. The added scenes were a lot of fun too. I'm so glad I went. My feelings about the movie overall haven't changed though. It still feels like a huge slap in the face to loyal and longstanding fans, thanks in no small part to Michael Bay and a very poorly written script. But it did make for an exciting movie and I'm glad I decided to swallow my pride and go see it in the IMAX. I recommend it.
