[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3631768, member: 7859"] I never got a headache from Batman Begins, and I saw that in a theatre with less screen quality, ( Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, so still of good quality) than where I saw the Transformers. While the action can be fast sometimes, e,g, when Batman swoops down, the camera position itself is a stable point, and the essence of the scene is too show how fast and guerilla like Batman is. Same thing with Gladiator, it is not sped up camera work that gives me the headache, as Gladiator did not, but the stability of the camera itself. Bay is trying to make you feel kinetically you are there in the midst of the chaos & confusion of the shin dig....for some it works...my wife likes those scenes...for others like myself it hurts. Even my wife agrees if Bay would consider the point of a scene and its impact on the created fabric of the world and universe, like say the action direction of the first Matrix, his movies could be great, not just popcorn fare.
