“…3D is meant as an enhancement”
Absolutely…enhancement to the box office. Let’s see if it make the film any better at all. We all know how thrilling this type of 3D has been to date.
Shocker
Yeah, cause 3D television is such a success and WB is looking to provide needed content. (Insert snark here)
Californians may have rejected the labeling of GM foods, but I wonder if they would embrace some truth-in-advertising laws regarding 3D and Imax movies. It’s hard to figure out what 3D even means anymore. I’ve seen novel uses of it in everything from AVATAR to the recent DREDD reboot, but like many patrons I long ago stopped caring when a studio slaps the 3D label on it latest would-be blockbuster. I need someone to tell me if a movie is worth the money and the bother of those stupid glasses. Was it shot in 3D? If not, was the 3D conversion a good one?
No, thanks. I’ll gladly take a 2D ticket like an old codger.
It hurts the eyes.
3D is so 2009. I actively avoid it whenever I can. It’s a fad, industry. Just like it was in the 50s and the 80s.
By the way, anybody wanna buy a 3D TV cheep?
Oh thank god! Now I will go see the movie!
Honestly 3D really only benefits animation, other than that it’s useless.
3D cinema is like some bad meme that won’t go away.
Personally, I have yet to see on 3-D movie where the 3-D movie mad the film that much better. Maybe a few cool-looking things pop-out, but that 3-D effect is over with in seconds and the story goes on. I am more concerned with going to movies that have entertaining stories. Hope 3-D craze by the studios fades away.
3D is bullshit.
The 3D treatment will surely make it a blockbuster movie worth remembering for generations to come…cause 3D fixes everything.
