I think 3-D is an over-hyped tool that is completely unnecessary, it seems like mostly 90% of the movies that are out today are in 3-D, and most of those movies don't even harness it, like The Green Hornet. I didn't see a single thing that was 3-D in that movie, nor did it make it feel like i was there. I think its just a tool that they add to their movies to jack the price up on movie tickets. Plus, I hate wearing those glasses for the 2-3 hour run times. What are your opinions?
The first movie I saw in 3-D was SpyKids3, and I remember not being impressed. All it basically did was have things popping out at you, and even that hardly worked. I've seen two movies in 3-D and one short film in 3-D as of recently, and a lot has changed. 3-D effects have, for the most part, toned down on the popping out effects and focused more on allowing you to see depth. When I went to the Imax theater to see an extra credit film for my science class, I was amazed that I could actually see the depth between the person in front and the object behind him. Taking the Imax's huge screen and combining it with the surround sound almost did make me feel like I was being pulled into the film. The other two movies I saw in 3-D, Tron Legacy and Chronicles of Narnia 3, were okay. Even though I like the ability to see depth in a movie, it does hurt my eyes to watch 3-D for too long. I agree that 3-D is overrated and overpriced. Watching films in 2-D is just as good, and in some cases, better.
I think that they should stop making as many 3-d films because they aren't that much better. i went from watching Avatar in 3-d to watching it on someones telly when the blueray/dvd came out. The difference? It was a bit smaller and i didn't feel nauseous(the 3-d glasses make me feel that way).
The only time I saw a movie in 3D was Avatar. This movie is not worth viewing except the first time in 3D in the movies; didn't care for the story, but the visual experience was quite great. Of course it only makes sense if there is really something great to see, it would make no sense to watch a regular movie in 3D.
at first i was skeptical about Real-D: 3D because i thought it wouldnt be anything different that the old crappy 3D with the red and blue/green glasses. but once i saw a couple movies in Real-D i was like =O so i highly recommend that if u are going to buy a Real-D tv if u had the money and u hate ur current tv.
however: if your going to the movies, see 2D cuz its cheaper and gives u something to look forward to if u like the movie
I personally hate 3D. It gives me headaches and it is bad for your eyes.
No its not. The way 3D works is two images set at two different depths are layered over each other. When you put the glasses on, one side filters out one of the images and the other side filters out the other so one eye is seeing a picture at one depth and one eye is seeing a picture at another depth.
If it were bad for your eyes they wouldn't make contact lenses that allow one eye to see close up and the other eye to see far away, nor would they do lasik surgery that corrects one eye to see up close and the other to see far away.
I personally love the 3D and all of that. I never get a headache, nor o my eyes get bothered. However, it does need to be perfected and not abused. They go out of their way and make little children movies in 3D, they need to make the movies 3D if it would fit in. Like in the Avatar movie(blue people one!), it is great, but the difference is, 3D on Avatar was awesome and made it even better.
