Can't wait for the 3D fad to be over

this is what gamercraig believes and has no credibility, facts or proper perspective whatsoever.

umm i dunno about you lot but i think that when going to see a 3d movie, your main intention was to watch something with immersive depth and ambience while still being able to follow the story.

clearly its safe to say that as more and more people watch 3d movies than the 2d version(fact) because they clearly want a better cinematic experience than i pretty sure that this ahem "fad" wont go away, thankfully.
 
O...k... - I think you may have watched one to many movies.....:D

As for banging out crap - film makers dont need 3D as an excuse to do this - they have been doing it for years.

3D can enhance an entertainment experience. I'm not sold on it for live action movies (but I have only seeen one so far - so the jury is still out) - but for cartoon movies (Toy Story etc) and some TV programs it'll work really well. For computer games (especially FPS and driving) it can greatly enhance the experience.
 
There's so many things wrong there. I dont know where to start.

First off, everyone here is lacking sense to not wait a few months for something in cinemas to be available on dvd at a much cheaper price. Same goes for every single materalistic consumer good we have right now, it was costly when we bought it, but look how much it is now. So that argument has no bearing here.

cunningham, could you provide evidence as to where you found out come that sky would be bringing out a 3d box?:)
 
Your argument is flawed - the only reason these technologies become affordable is because early adopters make it viable, followed by a snowballing number of mainstream users coming on stream as the price gradually drops through the economies of scale.

If it wasnt for sufficient numebers of early adopters willing to shell out for new technology - the advancements would stall and nobody would get it (just look at betamax, laser discs, mini discs, HD DVD etc)
 
Yeah...my point was you said you don't understand why 3d is succesfull...but then the second half of your post you start to acknowledge why!
 
We've been seeing things in 2D for hundreRAB of thousanRAB of years.
Right back to the first cave paintings. If anybody ever needed to depict anything they did it in 2D.

What we are not trained to do in any way, shape or form is to keep our eyes focused on one place that somebody else has chosen for us. We're also never trained to mess up the way we see things so that the brain has to sort out the image in the way 3D does.

That's the fallacy of 3D, that's it's more natural. But it's far more unatural than 2D because we actually have to bugger our vision up to watch it.

The question people should ask themselves is if early cinema had asked people to interfere with their normal vision, would it have ever taken off as anything other than a novelty?
Imagine if to watch 2D, you had to wear glasses. And even then if you looked at backgrounRAB occasionally they were still out of focus.
 
Avatar and Alice in Wonderland both looked fantastic in 3d. It's expensive - and I don't like paying that much for a film at all, but it does make the experience much more immersive, and actually an incentive to go to the cinema instead of waiting for the cinema.

Make it normal price and I'd be going every week ;)
 
My bug bear when it comes to 3D is all the films that have been shot in 2D and are now getting a 3D make over. Apparently this has been done to teh new Clash of the Titans movie and really doesn't work that well.

So film makers either shoot in 3D or shoot in 2D, don't just jump on the band wagon and give us dreadful cash ins!
