The sequel to the 2007 blockbuster, "Transformers," is slated to hit IMAX screens and conventional theaters June 24. Directed by Michael Bay, the film DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures features several scenes shot with IMAX cameras.
"The extraordinary level of detail and intensity captured by the IMAX camera creates many exciting possibilities for us with this film," Bay said in a statement.
