In case you weren't excited enough for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, listen to what Matthew Butler has to say about the blockbuster.

Butler, Digital Domain's visual effects supervisor on the film, spoke to Variety this week about director Michael Bay:

"He's brilliant, but he's a challenge....he's incredibly fast-paced. He's a whirlwind to keep up with, both on the set and in post... [Bay] took the production value up many, many notches. Just the backgrounds alone are huge. It's a combination of Apocalypse Now and Ben-Hur, in regards to fantastic backgrounds and the unbelievable sets we worked at around the world."

Reportedly, there are over 60 robot characters in the movie.

It comes out on June 24.
