2-D IMAX release of Transformers:Age of Extinction

[Bluyoda]

I know many of us want a 2-D IMAX release of Transformers:Age of Extinction on BD, so here you can voice your opinion, and hopefully cause them to rethink their strategy.

I mostly refuse to go to the theatre, because in my city blockbusters are only shown in 3-D on big screens, and the 2-D screenings are in tiny rooms, so I usually wait for the BD release, as I don't enjoy 3-D.

I am aware that TF:AoE was only shown in IMAX in 3-D, but the 2-D version should be made available IMO.

I refuse to purchase this film on BD, or any other format, until a 2-D IMAX version becomes available.

Paramount is commended for including the bonus disc with the 2-D version, but now they have committed an even graver mistake, one that cannot even be solved by getting the 3-D version. I don't have nor want 3-D equipment, so it would be impossible for me and many others to enjoy this film on BD the way it was meant to be seen.

Thank you for your support.

Can't you just turn off the 3d directly on your TV, even if the disc is 3d only?

No you can't, because a 2-D TV doesn't have a 3-D on/off switch.

On my pc I can watch a 3D disc in 2D, so it is possible. I did this with Transformers: Dark of the moon.

But yeah, I would love to see a 2D IMAX version similar to what they did with Transformers: Revenge of the fallen.

The crappy thing is the 3D encode is contrast and brightness boosted and lower bitrate so the picture quality is garbage

Gee, that's quite an uneven poll, isn't it?
I'm getting the current 3D release. Partly because I have a 3D Monitor and I can switch it off any time and enjoy the "IMAX 2D" from there. If and when there is an IMAX 2D Blu-ray in the future, I may get it at a low price.

Yeah, there should have been at least one other option, "Getting the 3D Release", because that's what I'll be getting.

Sorry, but this thread is clearly addressed to people interested in the 2-D edition.

The 3-D fans are already being taken care of.

They couldn't be bothered fixing the botched 3d release of the third film. Hence I highly doubt they will release a 2d version.

It is an interesting topic though. Only Mr Bay could say if it would break how he wanted it to be shown. If he indeed only wanted the changing aspect ratio for 3d I do think the home release should only have it for the 3d release.

I won't be buying this at all. I stopped watching this rubbish after Revenge of the Fallen.

Yet you still are entering threads for it two films and and then not comment on what the thread is about...

I want to make sure I comprehend the technical aspects of the release. Helping out others on this site doesn't simply stop at titles you like.

and doing so required the snarky comment I take it? I fail to follow your logic.

I was simply answering the poll.

I see no mention of:
I'd buy the 2-D IMAX edition on BD
I won't buy the current releases, because it has no 2-D IMAX version
I'm perfectly satisfied with the current 2-D release
They shouldn't release a 2-D IMAX version, as it was never shown this way in theatres

in your post. Anyway i'm done with you regarding this. You and everyone can see that you where not simply trying to learn more about the disc in your first post.

Look, I didn't break any rules. If you got a problem with me fine, but I'd keep it out of the thread.

Beyond aesthetic reasons, I want to add that some people are not able to view 3D, and it's not fair to require them to buy 3D hardware/software just to turn off the 3D on their TVs in order to watch the movie in 2D.

[manutd123]

I want 2D IMAX release!!!!

[Yojimbo68]

I'd like to call it even and just get a release of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in it's original IMAX presentation.

Exactly.

Also, the picture quality is different from the 2-D transfer. The brightness is boosted to compensate for the darkness of 3-D etc.. The bitrate is lower....
It can't be compared.
