![]() Either way, this is a good time to observe how manipulated the picture looks, which typically signals the amount of effort put into trying to turn a 2D image into a 3D spectacle. It’s a natural compulsion, as you’re either a curious person or you need to give your eyes a break. Whether the 3D is good, bad or average, you’re going to want to take your glasses off from time to time in order to see the blur. That only makes the fact that the company has turned away from this format all the sadder, as this Transformers adventure was crisp and clean all the way. Again, the IMAX factor may have boosted this one a bit, as those projectors are pretty big and bright. With that out of the way, Rise of the Beasts actually held up in even the darkness of the Ellis Island fight of Act I. I must mention the standard caveat that your mileage may vary in 3D, as the quality in how your local theater maintains calibration between formats is a huge factor. Sure enough, there’s some first act action in a nocturnal setting, which felt like a pretty strong and early test of how the Brightness factor of this seventh installment. Even the most recent entry in this saga, Bumblebee, had some issues with depicting night scenes in 3D, because of the inherent darkness that is present when slipping on those tinted frames. It’s that time again, folks! It's time to see if the Brightness to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ 3D stands up to one of the format’s greatest foes. It actually helps show just how small us humans are compared to Optimus Prime at full height. Plus, the spatial reasoning between characters and their settings is crisp and well delineated. Just as you feel like Terrorcons are about to grab you at times, the environments the action and drama take place in are limitless. The depth is picture perfect, from the desolation of space and all those other locations in-between. With everything from the streets of New York to the jungles of Peru being shown off, seeing such sights with no depth would be a true squandering of the Before the Window aspect of 3D. Just as it’s important to have Transformers thrills that threaten to leap off the screen, Rise of the Beasts would be robbing itself if it didn’t pay attention to the environments it depicts. Throw in some extras like sparks, dust and asteroids, and you pretty much have the full package. And it's not just felt in select instances, as this movie goes all out with throwing debris, characters, and planet-eating robots at the audience. Also, there are some very choice jump scares where robots are jumping out at you, ready to attack. A LOT of robotic weapons are aimed out at the audience, and you can truly feel it. ![]() That shot lives up to its promise, and then some, in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Seriously, it's a shot that looks perfectly planned and ready to jump off the screen! ![]() When 3-DNA is present in the official stills for a Transformers movie, you’re expecting that cannon Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) is pointing at the camera to feel like it’s a threat. Look, if your expectations for Before the Window thrills weren’t set by that header photo at the top, then I don’t know what to tell you. That sentiment is felt throughout the finished product, so let's start drilling down into the particulars. This was a pretty perfect experience in third-dimensionally enhanced viewing, and I continue to think that maybe the IMAX format is doing a better job at presenting 3D than standard showings. Does Transformers: Rise of the Beasts continue carrying the company’s work as a 3D standard? Oh yes, indeed it does.
