Filming destruction Chicago 'Transformers 3' Behind The Scenes

[@TheDarkHarper]

The fact that Bay can get the support he can get from the US Army and the city of Chicago for real, made the film x10 better than it already is, and DOTM is good.

People can criticize Bay all they want, but he is one the best action film director's of our time. The final battle in this movie is just pure perfection.

No. Just no. Films made for dullards will impress dullards i guess.

[@conpop6924]

It’s actually really cool that they actually filmed all this on the ground in Chicago instead of just making a set somewhere and doing it there

[@John-X]

yeah dude ppl make fun of the transformers movies & its fans but guess what? Transformers 1, 2, 3 & even 4, have better vfx, practical effects, writing, soundtrack, more heart, & more soul in just _one minute_ of footage, than *anything* Marvel has put out for the past 6 years.

[@RicoLee27]

100 procent agree with that​@@John-X

[@logger22]

The amount of destruction and mayhem that were authentic is what gave the Transformers films its identity.

[@romuloprieto2529]

Saw this film when I was 10, at theaters and it was my first and only 3D experience, it left such an impact on me that to this day it is my favourite movie ever, and this makes me love it even more

[@mudiametokunboh2370]

Valid this and alita battle ángel some of my favorites

[@sam23696]

When this movie came out it got a lot of hate for being so CGI heavy. And here we are now with movies today that are literally just CGI, not even filmed in a city street, and this looks like the most incredible practical effects ever.

[@SoonToBePrime]

8:34 These shot right here is the scene where optimus go rampage against a lot of decepticons... Truely a master art of practical and cgi effects.

[@wickdaline8668]

Loved watching all of this in the cinema when I was 13.

[@gnvtwhp1218]

Bay is a great ACTION MOVIE DIRECTOR. Not the best story guy. But he's going to give you some awesome action sequence. I want Bay to direct a fast and furious movie. It would be spectacular.

[@flashbackfilmmaking]

Yes. This is one of the best live action films

[@enriqueluna8135]

True say whatever you want about Michael bay, but can’t deny his action scenes always deliver

Give Bay someone who writes very well for the story, and give the action/combat sequences and we'll be seeing a masterpiece

[@natecollins9331]

But it would be awesome if one day he got a permit to direct another Transformers again but also choose a professional Writer hehe.

[@yr24studios95]

I'm really grateful that this movies came out like 12-15 years ago bcs if it comes out today this whole battle scene would've been made in cg with no practical effects at all taking away the realistic part. All they would think is to cut cost and save time these days. Kudos to Michael bay and his team 🔥💪🏻

[@johniephillips9267]

People give Bay so much crap for being a jerk, but when I hear him talk I don’t hear a jerk. I hear a man trying to get stuff done. It’s why his work is so great. You have to be stern and pushy to get things done. It’s a necessary evil.

[@Thatdudewiththedogs]

Wellll I shouldn’t even have to explain this to you but this is a BTS of the movie, which they are promoting and making money off of. Of course they will paint Michael in the best light possible, they aren’t going to use any clips of him being a d*ckhead.

these days movies are lying about shooting everything in camera while bay was actually dong it more than a decade ago!!!

[@charlessmith263]

I am imagining Decepticon mini-drones zooming down low over the Chicago River, towards the good-guy military platoons. The drones are firing machine guns at the platoons, and the military platoons do a counter-fire at them. (If you faced real combat, this is known as "cover fire.") Simulated explosions go off probably from the incoming missiles by the Decep drones trying to destroy the soldiers.
