Waste of money to see it in 3D

Rating: 2/10 (7 July 2011)

After everything Michael Bay said about how he is embracing 3D, I was really excited to see it in 3D. I had given up on 3D after foolishly seeing Piranha 3D. Thus, I paid the extra $3.50 for the privilege and was enormously disappointed. I had expected to be drawn into all the action and be amazed at the 3D effects...but there weren't any. The movie was strangely flat. What was Michael Bay bragging about???
I have, in the past, seen lots of 3D movies...especially the ones made in the 1950's. The smart directors, like Alfred Hitchcock did in "Dial M for Murder", use the process to enhance the movie experience. With a picture like Transformers 3, (since this movie was not a work of art), the need was there to have things pop out of the screen. After all, it is a pure popcorn picture with explosions, action, and chase scenes).
If you want to see this movie (I thought it was too long and too silly) save your money and see it flat.
