It&#8217;s a tacky way to cash in on a technology that already makes movies expensive for families. It doesn&#8217;t even make sense for the market, since the &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/2638\/transformers_revenge.html\">Transformers<\/a>&#8216; movies are clearly not aimed at young children.

I try but I just can&#8217;t. If I was a kid, and I was told that not only would I be seeing the new &#8216;Transformers&#8217; movie, but I&#8217;d get to go dressed in costume, I&#8217;d go ballistic with joy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/transformers3d.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/transformers3d.jpg\" title=\"You got the touch.

Whether you get Optimus Prime or Bumblebee (<em>Why would you ever get Bumblebee?<\/em>), you&#8217;ll find 3D lenses built in to the mask. That means your children can go dressed as their favorite character to see the movie.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, your children. I don&#8217;t want to hear about any <em>Bonus View<\/em> readers actually wearing one of these to the &#8216;Transformers&#8217; premiere. Then again, if a serious drama ever goes 3D, you&#8217;ll get mega-bonus points from me for wearing your &#8216;Transformers&#8217; helmet to that.<\/p>\n<p>The masks will hit stores on May 16th, and are expected to be priced at $9.99. They&#8217;re compatible with RealD theaters, as well as Vizio 3D HDTVs.<\/p>\n<p><em>[via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/article2\/0,2817,2380267,00.asp\">PCMag<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t stand the &#8216;Transformers&#8217; movie series and I&#8217;m not a fan of 3D.
