Unless the movie image was frontway and sideways projection (or something like that) making it an actual three-dimensional image from all sides (in which case the theatre would be like a hockey arena), I as a consumer would not consume such an expensive gimmick that only claims to be 3D.<BR/><BR/>At least IMAX keeps its promise that the image is really big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-61965386617949823912008-12-12T05:12:00.000-05:002008-12-12T05:12:00.000-05:00"5-8 years, all movies will be projected in 3D"The..."5-8 years, all movies will be projected in 3D"<BR/><BR/>The problem with saying "all" is that you are guarenteed to be proved wrong. However the problem with not using "all" is that you sound wishy washy.<BR/><BR/>Here in London, I still watch movies that have no sound track of their own, or are in black and white and sometimes are on 8mm. So I'll bet that "all" movies won't be in 3D but suggest 90% of film cinemas in the USA will have the facility to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-57939717210778091022008-12-11T21:28:00.000-05:002008-12-11T21:28:00.000-05:00Another comment: This stuff isn't REAL 3D.

The dramatic effect of close-ups in 3D can add to the film experience as being lived in real. For me, it is probably not a big step as where sound, color, or 5.1 surround.Manuel QuiƱoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658737337469166872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-89717994171860616672008-12-11T08:05:00.000-05:002008-12-11T08:05:00.000-05:00To me this looks just like the craze in the 1950s ...To me this looks just like the craze in the 1950s of basically the same thing.

While I think turning out hybrid films (for standard as well as 3D screens) always leads to compromises it's certainly sad to see 3D films that rely on editing patterns (to name the most obvious difference) that are based on the perception of 2 dimensional pictures. <BR/><BR/>It's a little like Fantasia/2000 - supposedly "made for" IMAX screens - which actually looked better in its standard theatre run because many of the compositions disintegrated when enfolding our whole field of vision.<BR/><BR/>To really get you (or me at least) excited about the 3D (and the 5$ extra), someone should start doing strong movies that work better in 3D. After all, 3D should be one more stylistic device (like color or sound), not just a gimmick.Oswald Itenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560644491496569393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-3941685582901854452008-12-10T16:42:00.000-05:002008-12-10T16:42:00.000-05:00I loved my View-Master as a kid, but I could only ...I loved my View-Master as a kid, but I could only look at it for so long before my eyes bugged out of my head.<BR/><BR/>I'm definitely not paying an extra five bucks for a gimmick.Mitchel Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645009912553755049noreply@blogger.com
