Transformers to Be Released as IMAX® Film at SKYCITY Cinemas

From September 21, see 20 metre tall Transformers on New Zealand’s largest screen

SKYCITY Cinemas announced today that the Transformers Movie will hit the big screen when it opens at IMAX® Cinemas on Friday, September 21.

The Transformers Movie, one of the must see movies of the year, has been digitally re-mastered, and the enhanced image and sound quality will deliver an un-paralleled turbo-charged movie experience for fans of the film.

“IMAX’s® all-encompassing format takes Transformers to a whole new level of detail and intensity,” said Michael Bay, the film’s director. “I am very excited to work with the team at IMAX® to create this turbo-charged version.”

Matthew Liebmann, General Manager SKYCITY Cinemas said: “This is undoubtedly the best way for Transformers fans to experience this blockbuster action adventure. Moviegoers will feel as if they are actually part of the movie as 20-metre high Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on New Zealand’s largest cinema screen.

“The explosive action and special effects in the Transformers Movie will come alive on the giant IMAX® screen. SKYCITY Cinemas is very excited to give moviegoers the chance to experience one of the most popular films of the year in a truly unique way.”
