I have seen the film in a regular theater and am going to see it Friday afternoon on a digital projector. Has anybody seen both and noticed a difference?

One thing that I didn't like was how detailed the shots of the movie look on the INTERNET and how fuzzy and blurry they looked on the screen. Was that the effect of the old fashioned screen of was my brain just running slow?

must be your brain, I've seen many movies on the big screen and did not see any problems

same here, no problems at all from a projecter. quite possibly out of focus on your screening?

I saw the movie twice, both times in the same theater and it was digital. I do know that a few of the scenes did look fuzzy but I'm not sure if that was part of the filming or not.

Perhaps I need a monocle

Dude that is one hell of a spoiler.

Film. I think it looks better & captures something digital can't in some movies.

JMO.

Mine was so clear I could see John Turturro's arm hair... oh wait... ;p

Yeah...mine was DLP, and it was crystal. I saw it later on a smaller screen and it was not so great.

(Still awesome, of course)

Yup - agrees.

I've only seen it on DLP so I don't know, but it was crystal clear on the digital.

That's what I was gonna post.

Minus the Rofl though

I've watched movies in digital and then regular film and digital obviously has better quality retention. Film just wears out quickly.

So the choice is yours, really.

I've also seen it in DLP and MY GOD it was amazing. Sharp, clear, super sweet.

Michael Bay loves his telephoto zoom shots. So that's part of what you're seeing.

But I saw the movie in DLP and Regular and honestly I don't think one is inherently superior to the other. DLP is crisper, film is warmer. But that's not a revelation.

I can never tell much difference between digital and non

I bothered to see sw: episode 3 in a digital theater and tried really hard to see a difference, but ultimately i am terrible at that kind of thing

well, Episode 3 was shot with digital cameras...

I just got back from seeing it on a DLP and it was much better. I highly recommend choosing the digital projector if you have a choice. The Malco here had two DLP Transformers and one regular.

I saw TF the first time on film, the second time on digital.

Digital seemed much cripser, clearer, and alive somehow.

I definitely noticed a difference.

Also, the theater with the digital projection isn't all that clean or nice looking, but their sound system was amazing and really immersed me in the film.

Ex

^ I agree about the sound as well. It was outstanding the second time... and it wasn't just because the "house" was bigger.

The sound on film will degrade after each showing and will never sound as pure as the digital track.

so uh, how can you tell the difference between a film theater and one with dlp?

Unless I'm missing something, film can't record sound...


a) Most theaters will have it say, in parenthesis- Transformers 8:00 (DLP)

b) If you see many typical cigarette burns and squiggles, it's film.

gotcha

i saw it in good ol' analog film then. thanks to Powerglideing fight club i always see the cigarette burns

i was able to catch it on the 4th so i didn't notice any degradation of the film and/or sound

The sound track is on the side of the film... not where the image is.
