Maybe you guys should go back and read the first few posts. Or just keep being idiotic consumer whores. OH IT'S IN 3D LET'S PAY AN EXTRA $5 TO SEE THE ULTIMATE MOVIE EXPERIENCE
Fucking sheep
It's an offense that they have the gall to push this shit on people, and convince them that it's a better movie experience. It's not an offense to me in that I am being forced to watch it. But it is similar to the way Apple turns people into morons... The 3D agenda is clearly turning more people into morons, and to me, stupidity is offensive.

I hope you are starting to get it now.
Different strokes for different folks.
People are buying it, so let them buy it. I'm befuddled that you find it offensive that other people have a service available to them that you do not prefer. Noone's even coming up to you to sell it.
Us "fucking sheep" aren't even supporting 3D movies if you read our posts. We're saying that there's a demand for it, why bitch and moan on an internet website about it (since you're also the one who make the big brew-haha about the "demand for Starbucks in Tofino").
PS. Could you stop deleting our thanks for other peoples posts just because it doesn't coincide with your argument? Thanks!

you guys, give your head a shake.... This thread was just a rant about 3D movie, and how they are stupid. I am not saying there shouldn't be 3D movies, and I am not saying that I "have to go see them". I just think it's stupid and offensive consumerism that turns people into idiots.
To all the people who were going "derrrr just don't go see them then", you don't even need to bother posting here. That's not what I am arguing about. All you are doing is trolling. The thing that really set me off was the fucking idiot who posted a quote from me about there being a demand for starbucks and comparing to the demand for 3D movies. Really? Are you really that stupid? Or again, are you just being a troll?
If you're not "supporting 3D movies" and just saying "don't see them" then stay out of this conversation, because it's not even what it is about.
There, I explained it. Now either stay out of the thread if you can't agree or disagree with the point I am making, or try to put together a cohesive point about how 3D movies are The Next Big Thing, and how everyone will be owning 3D TV's in 3 years. I'd love to see that
And you need to give your head a shake, if you're giving people an ultimatum to leave the thread.
Some of us are saying, "3D movies aren't as bad as you say they are" (aka offensive to produce and release). Do we think they're the next big thing? Probably not. Are we offended when a new one is released? No. Understand?
PS. For the last time, can you stop deleting our thanks to other peoples posts that don't coincide with your argument? It's bad enough that we can't fail you and that you gave me a "deconstructive flaming" infraction (to a post that you deleted, so people can't even see that I didn't deconstructively flame you). Thanks in advance!

Like I said, just ranting to start a conversation going here. Too many people just post a quote from a stupid news article, and leave it at that. IMO that is worthy of points. If something is that intriguing to you, why not comment on it? Something other than "."
If you agree or disagree with me, that is fine. If you want to be a complete moron and own yourself, that is fine too. I'm not going to let you waste your "thanks" on moronic posts though
I actually did watch that movie in 3D. Like I said, for whacky Imax movies and theme rides for kids, it's fine. But to take old movies and sell them as "the ultimate experience" or whatever they are calling it, or to release 3D versions of non-3D movies just to artificially create a market for it, and charge extra for tickets is what is bullshit about it.
I think 3D works 100X better in Imax than it does on a normal theatre screen, that's for sure. But you still have the issue with fast-moving objects being blurry or almost invisible.
Saw Avatar in 3d, thought it was awesome. Then I saw Alice in 3d, and honestly thought the 3d was shit.
I would watch Avatar again, but only in 3d. I would watch Alice again, but NOT in 3d.
I want to see that Dragon Training movie in 3d, as my friends say it's the best implementation of 3d they have seen, yet.
I think there IS a solid demand for 3d movies AS LONG AS THEY ARE DONE RIGHT. NOT the post-processed crap.
I would LOVE to see Iron Man 2 in 3d - but ONLY if it's up to par with Avatar. NOT if it was post processed like Alice.
/my opinion.
Something like Avatar was really meant for 3D. If more movies came out like that I would definitely go see them. I didn't get a headache I was pretty immersed for the duration of the movie. When he rolled out of the Aircraft on his wheelchair and everything looked like a 3D shooter from the future I was pretty impressed.
The people who didn't enjoy Avatar were mostly the ones who complained about headaches.
This was probably due to the interpupillary distance (distance between the centres of the pupil) isn't really accounted for since there's only one set of glasses.. a one size fits all. The movie engineers could designed a few difference sizes of glasses so that the stereo separation of the images could be more refined, more people could enjoy the movie.
A 2D movie made into a 3D movie like Up I don't really fancy, although it was neat. I would have preferred the 2D version just fine. Iron Man 2 would never be on par with Avatar since it wasn't shot with 3D effects in mind. The post-processed 3D effects is sorta lame.
They need to use 70MM film... all 70mm movies look stunning, on the big screen and on blu-ray 70mm movies look way better.. but they still find 70mm expensive i guess... even though its been decades and decades -_-
You missed the point of the James Cameron interview. Increased resolution doesn't give you more fidelity in fast action sequences and only makes strobbing/jittering more apparent (especially in 3D movies). Higher frame rates are really needed in cinemas. 24fps is the standard movie frame rate, and 30fps is used on North American TV broadcasts. When you play fast action video games you're ideally playing at 60fps or higher. James Cameron's proposing of raising movie frame rates to 48fps would do wonders for 3D movies.
If you've ever felt lost or unable to fully comprehend what's going on in action sequences in 3D movies, you're most likely feeling the affects of the slow 24fps film speed.
3D is gimmicky and pointless. Well, I can't really say it's pointless but I'm really underwhelmed by it. I still haven't seen a 3d film that wows me in theatres. Okay, fine there is one film but that was at the Science world and I wasn't wearing any stupid glasses. I really hate wearing those uncomfortable glasses when I watch a damn movie. Even after I wear it, it looks like a normal 2D film with maybe a slight noticeable pop in the image. When I mean slight I mean it's basically 0.0000001 percent of noticing it. I must repeat myself and say that I'm still very underwhelmed by the whole 3D trend right now. Until they come up with a damn tech that doesn't require me to watch a 3D movie with glasses and it actually makes things look like it's gonna stab me in the eye. I will firmly believe it's all gimmick and a marketing tool for the everyday consumer.

The last 3D movie I watched was in IMAX, I think it was something about F1 back in the day or something. Either way, there was massive amounts of motion blur. If they want to do this 3D thing they need to do it right. There's a way to create a 3D effect without any glasses or fancy screens (though it makes things appear sunk back instead of popping out) but it would require framerates way higher than what movies run at right now.

don't care much about 3D movies...but I am definitely hoping it will bring 3D display to the gaming market..
3D FPS game with shit jumping right at you = win
I had the very first 3D gaming glasses when they came out with the original GeForce, and they were pretty bad. Unlike the normal polarized glasses you get in movies, these had actual shutters that sync with the game. It didn't take long before one lens broke either. Like it literally stopped working while I was wearing them.
New 3D tech is more like the movies, but even the newest GPUs can't run 3D in high resolutions yet.
saw 3d movies about 10 years ago, 3d movie festival at a cheapo cinema hall, those movies were made for 3d. ie. they would do things that would make the audience jump thinking that something would come out of the screen.

avatar was crap imo. in that respect.
That's because that style of 3D is designed to be a gimmick. In every 3D movie I had been in before Avatar, there was always at least one moment like that--but it doesn't do anything for the immersion into the movie--it just makes you realize even more that it's not the real thing.
As soon as that moment is gone, there's always a pause in the action as they let the movie-goers realize "oh, wait, I'm actually sitting in a movietheatre." That does nothing but kill the immersion and realism. And I don't know about you, but I go to a movie to be sucked in.
