...really, as you declared in an interview that you are an old-school director and you prefer shooting in 2D then please don't go 3D with Transformers3.
I just read that FridayThe13th Part2, that you are the main producer of, is going to be filmed in 3D and that really worried me... I hope you won't be forced to film Transformers3 in 3D.
There is no need for 3D on Transformers3 and it won't help increasing the boxoffice results as studios managers might think.
All this marketing hype forcing focus on current 3D technologies it's not going to work as industry managers planned simply because the technology it's not up to task, it doesn't look much better than the ancient 3D seen in the '60s and that is the whole point. The objects don't look fully solid but just like a series of layers one after the other, which is distracting especially on long movies.
Personally I bet that upcoming James Cameron's Avatar is going to be a huge disappointment after having seen the trailer, and if that is a very long 180minutes movie as it's currently rumored then it will cause a lot of eye strain to many people when watched in its native 3D format, that happens even on the most expensive projection systems available in theaters worldwide. And the likely demise of Avatar will cause the demise of the 3D hype.
So, please don't film Transformers3 in 3D.
Thank You.

Well, I'm assuming that a movie filmed in 3D will also have a normal theatrical release for the normal price as well, as most other 3D movies do. So if you don't like 3D, just don't go to the 3D one... some people really seem to like a 3D film once in a while. It was never my thing, but I don't think it should go away just for that reason.

As long as TF3 doesn't have any 3D gimmicks that's fine, but like I have said many times watching a 2D version when the film was filmed with 3-D in mind makes scenes in 2D look cheesy as hell.

My honest opinion about 3D in general is its a waste of space. Even now the 3D films are not perfected, meaning even in some scenes as wingzero said, objects and action has lost clarity, they are a blurred mess.

I'm cheap, so I don't go see them. :p
And the glasses never work for me... =(

But I would imagine they're mostly a kids thing, and kids probably prefer to see stuff pop out.

I'm curious about this tho- you say when a film is made to be 3D it looks cheesy? Live action, and animated? I thought it was just a matter of stuff "coming out of the screen" so I didn't think it would be so different...

Food for thought...

MB hates 3D...he stated that in a video interview...IMAX is they way movie's hould be seen according to Bay, and I definately agree..

..you might hate me for saying this..but.. I saw UP in 3D..and there was severe color banding and image jitter, and because of that, i think UP was probably the WORST Pixar movie i've seen, imo.

Trust me, if Transformers goes into 3D everyone will get motion sickness! 2D is the best format for this kind of movie! So I agree with you!:)

3d cinema only works if you have depth perception. If the industrial makes it a standard then people like me who dont have the privledge of normal sight wont go as we would probably become ill with motion sickness or something?:(

Meaning keep it to being 3D (depth) and exclude the 3D gimmick pop out cheesy effects, there hasn't been many live action 3D films but they almost all involve those effects, and each and every one of them was a failure.

But if MB says he hates 3D then I'm relieved because it really is a waste of resources, all I ask for TF3 is to just have a strong story without the comedic value this time, comedy and Transformers films don't mix.
