Remember weeks ago, we had quotes like these from Lorenzo di Bonaventura from IGN:

"Michael is so awesome at shooting, the question originally was how the cameras would work because they're cumbersome. Look how long it took Jim Cameron to make one movie. All those things are quite daunting, but Michael figured out how to use the cameras in a day."

Omega666, I agree with you. I will be watching in 2-D, so I could care less when it comes to the quality of the 3-D product.

I'll be watching it in 3D because i've yet to find a pair of 3D glasses to fit over my prescription glasses, and I refuse to go out and pay for a fancy pair that do.

I'm really surprised on the lack of updates and info from the news crew about this thread. The info from this thread is old and was denied by Michael Bay himself yesterday. No one made anything to inform the forum members that this info is false. I wrote an explanation but most of the forum members never read other people's posts, only the headline of the thread.
Also one of the most important thing about a movie (it's trailer) now have a release date and the news crew didn't even mention it.
I guess this site is mostly for toys and cartoons. Too bad for the small amount of people that rely to get some info for the movies from here.

Dude, new info really should be posted in a new thread to get serious attention. Plus maybe the news moderators haven't noticed your post, it happens. Take a chill pill and stop feeling so defensive.

I don't care if the news crew will notice my post. I don't care if I will be in the credits. The info is all over the web. I just want them to post news together with all other TF sites.

I'm not hating on Michael Bay and I know he said that the 3D looks great and that it's going to blow everyone away, and that there were no problems and that people don't know what they're talking about. The same thing was also said when X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released like 2 weeks early and the studio and Hugh Jackman all said that the bootleg version is not what you will see in the theaters, and to not cheat yourselves by watching it. Only to turn out 2 weeks later that what was leaked was exactly what turned up in the theaters but with added in SFX. ROTF got a lot of negative feedback and people are already pissing on DOTM even though they haven't seen any footage yet. Michael Bay is the front man, so he has to come out and squash any rumors weather they are true or false.

Welcome! Very true what you said though, I mean the mans rep is on the line in saying he didn't support 3D...it was stealing jobs from Americans and blah blah blah, then publically said shooting 3D was great and there was nothing to it...only to have one of the companies and 3D farms report that the film might be useless (meaning there is "something" to it)....thats got to sting hard core.

Now there's a possible discription of what were might expect to see in the upcoming "trailer", however this "trailer" looks and sounds to be just a gimmick made to get people into the seats, not really a reflection of what we are to expect to see in the actual film, kinda like that awefully funny SAW 3D movie trailer....with all the knives and saws flying at you. Those shots are just to showcase and cater to the 3D gimmick, but thats not a reflection of the film itself. I think what we are going to see with TRON and Narnia is just that, shiny cool things moving and "transforming"...but if it's the footage they showed in...where was it, Italy? Well I doubt it will be actual fottage from the movie itself...just like the Mars Rover viral footage from the first film. But hopefully I'm wrong, and we do get an actually trailer. This week will tell.

Exactly, and I still think that even though he's filming in 3D and standing up for his work, he still thinks that it's all a gimmick and he only filming in 3D because that's what the studio wants. So I'm sure that adds to the hard core sting.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 3D footage is total crap and can't be used. Michael Bay's method of filming and directing doesn't really fit with how a movie being filmed in 3D should be. I think that was also one of the reasons why he didn't support 3D. It's not like he's been pretty much living under the sea for 10 years making boring documentaries with 3D cameras and learning how to really film with them like a certain Avatar director. The studio should have just left him alone and film the movie in the way that he's comfortable filming it.

Thirded. Only it is because my eyes don't line up perfectly, so all I see is one blue area and one red area, and not the 3D 'effect.'

As much as I liked Avatar, it was annoying to watch. The glasses the theater I went to supplied where huge and the way they sat on my nose made it hard for me to breath. I had to rasie them up every now and then just so I could breath in comfort.
