What’s on at IMAX Melbourne Museum June to August 2009

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen – The IMAX Experience

One of this year’s biggest movies just got bigger!  Director Michael Bay has shot six sequences of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen with IMAX® cameras. This marks the second time ever (after The Dark Knight) that a major feature film has been partially shot using IMAX® cameras. This stunning integration of the two film formats will translate into full screen images that will fill IMAX Melbourne Museum’s 32 metre x 23 metre screen. 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. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.

Date: June 24

Tickets: $21.00 adults, $17.50 concession, $16.00 child, $60.00 family (2 adults & 2 children)
