In case you need more reason to go see "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" this week, in addition to crazy amped-up action and a new lovely leading lady, the third robot-tastic installment is in 3-D. And it wasn't converted in postproduction, like a few of the recent 3-D films out there. Director Michael Bay insisted that his first foray into the three-dimensional medium be as authentic and technologically advanced as possible.
Lately there has definitely been a bit of 3-D fatigue in the air. When MTV News caught up with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at the film's worldwide premiere in Moscow recently, we asked for her thoughts on the 3-D element of "Dark of the Moon."
"I will be the judge of that after I see this film, because I have never seen a movie in 3-D," she revealed. "When Michael told me it was going to be in 3-D, I said, 'Right, I'm going to wait,' and now we're here, we're at the premiere stage and I'm going to wait until [I'm in] London and see it with my family."
So when Whiteley finally watches the 3-D version of the film with her family and friends, will she be watching herself on the big screen or watching her family's reactions?
"I'm going to be watching them watching me," she said with a laugh.
Bay has made a big deal of the fact that he initially had a lot of reservations about 3-D, explaining that his buddy director James Cameron finally convinced him to go for it with this film.
"[James Cameron], at the last minute, goes, 'Mike, come on,' " Bay recalled, imitating the "Avatar" director's enthusiasm with a slightly deep and gravelly inflection in his voice. "This is like my idol. He goes, 'Mike, come on, we've done everything.' I'm thinking, 'I haven't done everything.' "
Cameron pushed him to try out this "new toy," and despite all the headaches that were added to the filmmaking process with shooting in 3-D, he's glad he did it.
"3-D, it's pretty great when you see these robots interact in the space," Bay said.

127 Hours Best Movie Reviews
As the Canada Day / Independence Day long weekend approaches, Bayhem has once again taken over theatres everywhere. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is pretty much guaranteed to be one of the biggest movies of the summer, and although critics have been only slightly kinder to it than the previous installment, nothing could be more irrelevant. Love it or hate it, people will pay to see it... I just wish the damn thing wasn't two and a half hours long again. In terms of competition, there are a pair of romantic comedies giving middle aged couples and teenage girls some alternatives with Larry Crowne starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and Monte Carlo starring Selena Gomez. In select theatres we also have indie thriller The Perfect Host starring David Hyde Pierce and indie dramedy Terri starring John C. Reilly. What will you be watching this weekend? Did Transformers 3 give you the Baygasm you were hoping for?
