I’m rewatching Final Destination.
And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.
I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.
And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn’t see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.
So I’m curious.
Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?
I think certain movies are 3D worthy. Like I would I loved to watch Interstellar or Gravity in 3D. When full immersion is something that adds value.
I find that most movies aren’t worthy of it.
No. My eyes, or mind, doesn’t quite accept it and yes, the filming for 3d sort of fucks up the 2d experience. I don’t think film is the right medium for 3d. Our 3d experience of the world is a smaller view but movies show a wider perspective (visually). It’s just annoying.
When done right, yes. But i will say whenever i see a 3d movie i also see it in 2d either before or after.
Once i saw avatar and saw that this 3d wasn’t just “popping out” 3d like the red/blue kind and instead more like using the screen like a window into the world of the movie I thought it was brilliant. Still didn’t stop some films using it as a gimmick though.
I still kinda wish 3d took off more past the gimmicky phase. I was too young to get a 3d tv at the time and I wish I could experience some of those movies again in 3d. But even if I had a 3d tv now they haven’t released 3d versions of movies outside of the cinemas in like 10 years. I would still like to get one to experiment with 3d gaming though. But will probably result in me being disappointed because it’s potential was never fully realised, like 2 screen async gaming on the wii u.
If you haven’t found the 3D movies, you’re probably not looking in the right place.
I liked them. I also really enjoyed playing 3D games on the 3DS, especially the 3D-ified 16bit games.
3D films is always a fad that comes in waves. Given it’s price to set up at home, it will be a premium that only movie theaters will offer—and such a gimmick is what those movie corporations spring on us to try to redrum up folks’ interest in paying to go to the theater (especially when a new technology for 3D is released).
The last one I went to on purpose was the first Dr. Strange movie since it was pretty obvious all of these effects would be well-suited for 3D which personally I think heightened the entertainment of that film. Many other cases were more forgetable, induced a headache, & were not worth the premium ticket.
