I've not heard anything about transformers being 3d, digital just means it uses a digital projector instead of film.

I'm not 100% sure tbh, don't know much about it, i'd expect it to be.

There's a normal viewing at 730, and digital at 8, so i'll aim for 745 and ask them about it, so if the monkeys there know anything about it

Its not 3D, but a number of cinemas are playing films "digitally" now instead of the traditional big tapes.
I understand they download them overnight from the movie companies.
Yes the quality will be better.

Quality isn't necessarily bette from a quick read, film can have a much higher resolution than the digital projector.

Im sure i read somewhere that certain scenes were 3D. It might be bollocks though.

Certain scenes are recorded with IMAX cameras for IMAX, none of it in 3D.
Bay thinks 3D is a gimmic according to wikipedia and after seeing that 3D valentine horror thing I's have to agree with him about current technology.

its the difference between normal DVD and Blu-ray
Digital cinema screenings are much richer sound and colour. go for that for a film like Transformers

It depends on the projector, some are only blu-ray resolution when film can be 4x times that.
In a lot of cases the digital copy has been scanned from film.

It did seem very clear, and the sound was immense, i asked a higher up looking cinema monkey before going in and she said that the picture shouldn't be too much different because it's a 6 month old cinema, but the sound should be better.
Personally I think both were better, but that could also have been a kind of placebo because i was expecting it to be better

The digital showing was sold out when we went to Cinema Deluxe on Friday so we had to go to the Odeon instead 
First time i've been to a 'normal' cinema since the Showcase Deluxe has opened and it seemed crap

Yea, we went to Odeon to watch Wolverine, it wasn't great, but went on the fancy seats at the back with the lift up arm rests, so just lied across 4 seats and leant against the wall
