Transformers 3 is coming at you in 3D
The director also spoke about the negative outcry over Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which earned over $800 million worldwide but was lambasted by the critics and many fans.
"I'll take some of the criticism," says Bay, standing at a set built to resemble a dilapidated nuclear reactor. "It was very hard to put (the sequel) together that quickly after the writers' strike (of 2007-08)."
Bay also noted that this film, "builds to a final crescendo," and said that they removed the "dorky comedy." That aspect included the twin robots which were the root of much controversy in the film, with Bay adding the twins are, "basically gone" from Transformers 3.
Shockwave has been confirmed as the villain
Star Shia LaBeouf also spoke about the absence of Megan Fox in the film.
"I love Megan and I miss the girl," LaBeouf said. "But Sam and Mikaela became one character, and here ... you have discovery again from a new perspective."

He replaces Fox with a Victoria's Secret model, and now forced after-production 3D?
If Bay thought he got bent over after T2, just wait until this crapfest of an afterthought comes out.

This is sad to me that they are doing Transformers in 3D it dosen't need it, if it is a conversion to 3D it will be crap in 3D you would be better watching it in 2D they are over doing this 3D lark.

Bay has proven in the first two movies he DOES NOT NEED 3-D!! But even Bay has big wigs he has to answer to; weather he wants to or not he will deliver like it or not.

the Narrator
Half of the posters didn't even read the article, just the title. As said by @Avian, my faith and respect has grown for Bay yet again, because he admits when things are wrong, as does Shia, an I am glad they have faith in this last installment. Hopefully they don't focus on making up for the third like a bunch of idiots want, but focus on making a good movie through and through. Two totally different directions.

3D? Wow that's a shocker. They're overusing 3D. Harold and Kumar 3D, Star Trek 3D. Shrek 3D. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 3D. They're making too much 3D. STOP. I hope they don't make Harry Potter into a 3D flick. And Twilight sure caught up to harry Potter even to the point of copying their strategy of splitting the last part into two movies.

HE PROMISED HE WOULDN'T MAKE TRANSFORMERS 3 INTO A 3D MOVIE. I SAID IT ONCE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, I WILL ONLY BE WATCHING 3D MOVIES IF THEIR '3D TECHNOLOGY' IS UP TO THE STANDARDS I SAW IN AVATAR. AFTER HAVING EATEN CAVIAR, I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO EATING FISH STICKS. THAT IS ALL.

Here are my reasons for disliking 3D movies.
1. The Glasses - I wear prescription glasses so having to wear another pair over top of them is uncomfortable. Having to wear them like this I have to keep my head perfectly still and have to look straight at the screen.If not I get a headache and it becomes blurry.
2. Upconverted 3D - Doesn't look good at all, plain and simple. Avatar is a 3D movie made right.
3. Avatar - 3D made that movie. It was so beautiful to watch in 3D. I tried to watch it at home and I couldn't watch it on DVD. Maybe Blueray is better. If all movies go that route and are better in 3D, then I won't be able to enjoy a movie at home again. I know all about the 3D TVs and prescription 3D glasses. I refuse to go that route. I'm not made of money. I'm sure this fad will fail anyways.
And no, I don't watch all 3D movies in 3D. I'm tired of getting let down.

No convertion to 3D, please! Pay more camera assisstants to hold 3D cameras which Bay said were very hard to carry before. A movie that is shot in 3D is way better than converted to 3D. Why they do need the last movie to be in 3D, that's another question.

Sorry about the confusion, what I meant was that studios need to realize just because you slap 3D on the title, it doesn't mean it's going to make a lot of money. It's lazy filmmaking. Nolan is the prime example of how it should be done. Making your money back just by making a great movie. Not by some crappy 3D. More studios and filmmakers need to do it how Nolan is. Just by making great movies and not relying on some lazy post-production 3D conversion.
