10:30AM

Transformers 2 2D IMAX Cinema

The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force.

Skorpinox steals Megatron's dead body from the US Military and revives him using his own spark. Megatron is back and is seeking revenge aided by Starscream and Decepticon reinforcements who are headed to Earth. The Autobots, helped by new reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye!

The films director Michael Bay has chosen to shoot selected scenes with IMAX cameras; which are the highest resolution cameras in the world. This stunning integration of the two film formats will translate into full screen images at the Glasgow IMAX that are over 60 foot high and 80 foot wide! The IMAX footage has been seamlessly integrated with state of the art CGI to create an unprecedented look and feel for the highly anticipated sequel.
