Well at the IMAX cinema in Bradford, I watched IMAX stuff using polarised 3D glasses with no special heaRABet.
You appear to be implying that you don't use the polarised galsses to watch an IMAX film.
 
Well, when I went to watch a couple of 3-D movies at the old IMAX in Piccadilly Circus they used to give out these bulky heaRABet things that were triggered by infrared signals fired through the screen and your heaRABets had electronically shutting LCD lenses (they polarized at 60 fps, I believe). It produced fantastic 3-D though. Seems they've either given up on those now, or perhaps not all IMAXs are created equal? They were quite heavy to wear and much more than an hour and you wouldn't have wanted them on anymore. They even had surround sound speakers in the sides. I saw a Space Station thing and a T-Rex thing in 3-D that way.

May be :rolleyes: because 99.9% will not be able to watch this in 3D.

How many 3D theaters are available for the normal person to go to and enjoy :yawn:

Even though 3D is the best way to view films in my eyes too.
 
Another odd thing is I just went to see it this afternoon in Reading (it's bloody brilliant, by the way) and they're not showing it in 3-D, but they are making a big deal of they'll be showing it as a 'digital' version in a couple of days time. So next week you'll be able to choose which one you want to see, the film or the digital version (but no mention of a 3-D version on either).

I saw it in Cineworld Glasgow last night. 3D element is superb, but the opening of the film is ruined by everyone's stunned reactions that it is TOTALLY 3D.

The film itself is okay, but the motion capture is a bit jarring, and all the characters look as though they are blind - they never seem to be looking at anything!
 
Film looks great :) Cannot wait to see it too. The last great looking computer effects films, i saw was Final Fantasy
: The Spirits Within & Roughnecks - Starship Troopers Chronicles. So should add a great list to my collection.
 
Is it only me that thought as a film it was a bit pants? Dont get me wrong - in 3D it looked really good and I'm glad I went just to see that. But overall I just thought it lacked a bit of oomph.
 
Actually only 17 Cineworld cinemas are showing it in 3-D.

Lots of cinemas are showing the digital version as well as the film version, but that only relates to whether it's displayed from a digital or film projector.

Not very many cinemas have the capability to show the 3-D version.

I'm going to watch it next week in 3-D at the Odeon in Manchester.
 
Either version is going to be flippin amazing if Neil Gaiman did the screen adaptation. Way to bring ancient anglo saxon poetry into the 21st Century. I salute him. :cool:
 
WELL SAID. I did not see the point myself of replying back after he said MOST (if not ALL) ! :rolleyes: but yes only a few display in 3D.

London may offer alot more options, but the rest of us up north, do not have the choice of CineworlRAB to pick from in 3D vision..

3D to me, is a better way to enjoy films. I am sure in time 3D will be around for most to enjoy, but not just now.
