You know what’s really surprising about Transformers, and I suppose in spite of the franchise’s many other flaws, rather admirable? That they actually bother to leave the studio. Michael Bay spends a lot of time shooting these movies in exotic, real life locations; even though most of the characters are just going to be computer generated and, let’s face it, he could probably get away with green screening almost everything. But to his credit, he goes through the trouble to use real settings and, as it always does, it adds an air of reality to what is otherwise unreality.
He’ll do it again with Transformers 3. In an update posted on Bay’s official site it’s been announced that the upcoming sequel will shoot big action sequences in both Chicago and Moscow. What those action sequences will be remains to be seen, but if you’re in Chicago or Moscow, expect your major landmarks to be blown up on screen. This is, after all, a Michael Bay movie.
