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)

Van Gogh: Brush with Genius

remarkable journey from the time of his first canvasses at the age of 27 to the masterpieces he produces
