VFX Optimus vs Megatron fight IMAX 'Transformers 2' Behind The Scenes 

One of the best fights in Transformers.

The CGI on these is absolutely timeless. This has been said countless times before, but it REALLY deserves to get nailed down. The work these guys put in is absolutely insane. To this day, this still looks better than most of current movies' VFX

3:10 bro got hit with the ironhide

Bayversere always cooked with the CGI/Vfx

Transformers 2 legit had the best fight scenes in the entire movie franchise

While Bay might be lacking in the writing department, he is usually never lacking in the VFX department. Seriously, while he may be bad at writing, he _knows_ how to film and will pull all the stops to make every effect look like a spectacle, whether that be using practical effects or taking VFX teams like Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to their absolute limits.

"It's sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma" "Who the hell is Steve Jobs" "Ligma balls" 3:09

The CGI in these movies were absolutely amazing. I wish a lot of the movies that have come out in recent years have this type of CGI

I was literally searching for a video like this yesterday

This was the second movie to use 70mm imax film cameras for a motion picture. It was so difficult to film with, it turned Michael Bay off using it for any other movies. Rendering the effects in 4k was very time consuming difficult he said

こういうゆうの見ると本当に涙が出てしまう 名作を作ってくれた製作陣に感謝

One thing I noticed that made the cgi of the mid to late 2000s so much better than some of the stuff we see today is that they had those original plates of shot footage even if it’s just a blank environment with no actors they were still capturing real locations, real cars being flipped and crushed, real pyrotechnics all in that plate captured on beautiful IMAX. What this does is it forces the vfx team to adhere and respect the footage by matching and compositing the effects into the scene that’s been shot to create a very realistic and believable effect. The problem we have today is many big budget movies with tons of vfx not only have more vfx shots to make in quantity but more time is wasted on unnecessary last minute changes and nearly everything in some scenes is 100% cg which creates a higher sense of artificiality also often called “the uncanny valley” which is the feeling that something isn’t quite right even if it looks very good we know something is amiss.

Transformers: ROTF is the most underrated in the entire series.

Critics hated this film, but my wife and I loved it. The action was over the top.

While the story lines weren't the best, terrible even! The CGI and action scenes never disappointed

''agile martial arts experts'' something that rise of the beasts did not understand, optimus in that movie didnt feel like he knew how to fight like he did in the bumblebee movie or even the bay films, still enjoy all the movies none the less

Best fight scene in the whole bayverse series, I will die by that statement

Masterpiece battle scene

I would dare say this is the greatest CGI fight scene of all time. but as for one of the best in the series I still get hung up on optimus' rage scene in dotm where he just goes 1 v all wether that is better than this.

Transformers in 4:3? Kinda reminds me of something. Regardless tho, this looks fucking sick in 4:3.

1:05 bro how come this didn't have the weird spark that everyone made fun of lol it was in the corridor digital episode as well

This is proof to all the haters that Bay cares about his movies

Where is the forest located?

0:43 Optimus's original death feels a lot more brutal

For those who wanted to see revenge of the fallen on DVD/Blu-ray just for the forest battle, I would highly recommend getting the "big screen edition", trust me when I say this, it is slightly better than the original. 🙂

The story may have been mid, but the action sequences were phenomenal 👌

everyone shitting on this movie but lets not forget that they pursue this project during the strike and somehow put more effort and love in the craft behind it compared to how visually souless and bland action blockbusters have become today.

They don't make them like this anymore.

Many thrash Bay for his style of directing , but many admire Bay for his style of directing . People just focus on the former one and wouldn't actually realise how much details he puts into the scene.

Something about 70mm and 4:3 IMAX ratios that are just incredible

say what you want about the movies but there is absolutely no denying transformers CGI is probably some of the best we’ll see (granted a lot of fight scenes just look like red and silver metal trying to mate with each other but still cool nonetheless)

This is why T2 is the best of them all...

Awesomeness and the forest battle is my favorite Transformers battle!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

still the best cgi in hollywood history

There’s a reason why those film are not only action movies, but spectacular action movies and that’s why Michael bay does so much views. He does takes this type of movie really seriously

I always watch rotf just to go back to these scene

Practical effects baby.

CGI artists COOKED from the late 90s to the end of the 2010s. Nowdays cgi seems to have gone backwards.

So you tell me that trees who's "rammed" and revoked by starscream and companies are CGI too, along with mud in forest battle?

“Is the future of our race not worth a single human life”

At least the VFX team seemed to have had a good time doing Transformers 2 despite the disaster that happened during production.

I dont believe it. its fake video. Optimus prime is so real

Ngl really like the 70mm and 4:3 IMAX of this. Wouldn't mind seeing a TF movie in that format.

where can i watch the full version?

How it is posible to create such a great movie with incredible CGI and nowadays all we have is trash ?... This is proof that if you move forward in time it does not necessarily mean that you evolve ... I miss those years...

rise of the beasts and bumble bee could never 😂

Truly great scenes!

There are a lot of things wrong with ROTF. The forest battle is not one of them.

Why does it look better in 4:3 ratio

3:09 *dies from cringe*

They did their jobs well for a movie done unwell.

Get Fortress Maximus in a film!

Still some of my favorite movies till this day

This looks like it was so fun to make.

LET THEM COOK 🔥

"40 to 60 feet high" and none of the bots in this scene are even 40 feet tall💀

Incrível

0:28were i can find this deleted scene?

It would be awesome if you guy's MADE A GUNDAM MOVIE LIVE ACTION that would be AWESOME 🔥

Crazy how much Bay asked of his VFX and SFX teams and how far he pushed them all the while he was failing miserably on his front.
