Im curious to know what the difference is between the Walmart Imax Big Screen Limited Edition one, and the standard blu ray copy? Does the Walmart one take up the whole screen, where the standard has the black on the top and bottom? I want to order one of the two, but dont know which. Any suggestions?
 
I'd suggest the free one off the internet since that movie isn't worth the gas it would take to drive to the store...

Well I grew up to Transformers, and liked the second one, regardless of the plot, acting, etc. Im looking for advice one the two blu rays, not an opinion that does me no good.
 
Well I picked up the Walmart Big Screen Edition on Tuesday (was only $19.96 for BlueRay). Its the same as the normal edition, except it goes to full 16:9 on about 3 occasions; the forest scene and twice on the final fight scenes. Also, there's like 5 or so seconds of additional footage in the forest scene.

IMO its worth it, you really do notice the difference when it fills up the whole screen (these are the IMAX shots). Don't know why they didn't just make the whole movie that way... but, I still like it.

Agreed. It is so annoying having the movie only fill up only part of the screen.
