Although we’ve seen many a 3-D movie where the 3-D action was minimal at best, Transformers 3’s 3-D version, produced by James Cameron, really is as good as it promises, especially if you’re watching it in an IMAX theater. Here we’ve listed a few IMAX theaters around town showing Optimus Prime and the crew for your 3-D viewing pleasure.

Currently there are four IMAX screens in Peace Cinema, Stellar Cinema City, Wanda Wujiaochang and Science and Technology Museum IMAX Theater.

Peace Cinema was Shanghai's first IMAX theater, and being directly on People's Square means the place is always crowded. Although Wanda and Stellar are more convenient for those further away from downtown, many still prefer an IMAX experience on the huge screen at Science and Technology Museum although the museum IMAX tends to only show educational movies and short films so there's no guarantee Transformers will be available.
If you don’t mind a bit of a hike and lineups for tickets, the Peace Cinema on People's Square is the place for you. For cinemas across the board, reservations are only available to members, and phone lines are always busy or out of service. Don’t waste time trying to call for a reservation or buy tickets online. Just show up at the theater. If you want to beat the crowds, wait a week after a new release before making the trek to the theater of your choice. Here’s the rundown of four IMAX theaters in Shanghai:
