Is anyone else giving up on 3D?
Recently I've given up on 3D due to some awful 3D versions of some films and also the extra cost of seeing it in 3D.I saw Wrath Of The Titians in 2D and I plan to see The Avengers in 2D as well.I was just wondering if any other people have given up on watching films in 3D?

It made Avatar mildy interesting and some animation is ok but that's it.
I hate it - it's pure gimmick and cash in. If 3D is supposed to replicate the real world and immerse you into a multi dimensional environment....well sorry you failed.
The world i see through my eyes isn't dull, blurred and sucked dry of colour.
So a new rule I have added is if I think the film is set mainly at night or in dark places, I will give the 3D version a miss, since darkness and 3D doesn't seem to work at all.
I will be watching Avengers in 2D, I don't think I have watched a 3D film all year, I might be misremembering but I am sure out of all the films I have seen this year they have all been 2D.
Having seen the video blogs with Peter Jackson and read various interviews with Ridley Scott I'll give it a chance and go into Prometheus and The Hobbit with an open mind, although I'll try and go to IMAX 3D screenings if I can, less colour wash-out than with that "RealD" bullsh*t.
Plus as I'm short sighted anyway I have to wear the 3D specs over my glasses which makes the whole thing an incredibly uncomfortable experience all round.
Should have stayed dead and buried and hope it goes back there soon.
I saw Despicable Me in 3D which was a great film but everytime I lifted the glasses up, the screen just lit up immensely and the colours jumped off the screen.
So why would you choose to see something that deadens one the most important factors of the film?
The fact remains that enjoyment isnt increased, cost and profit for the manufacturers is.
Bear that in mind and save yourself a headache and a pile of cash
I have little to no interest in 3D.
I agree, when I first got Blu-ray I was amazed at how the clarity increased the depth of the image.
I specifically remember saying the the OH "wow it looks like it's 3D"
Another stumbling block to 3D is the type of films/genres it will be applied to.
It's always Action/SciFi/Kids/Animation.
Would it ever really be used for Westerns/RomCom/Drama/ArtHouse/Romance/Period etc etc
a) Put on my sunglasses, and then:
b) Bash my head against a wall while throwing Pound coins down the drain and muttering to myself "It's all Cameron's fault"
Pretty bad then!
Likewise - 3D does look sort of nice, but it gives me a headache, it's expensive and the colours are all washed out.
So in effect he's admitting that 3D technology is crap and he's got to use a brighter paint on his sets so it balances out.
Great!
:rolleyes:
What's he doing to compensate for the fact 3D is more of a distraction than anything else? Is just going not bother and make it in acceptable and proven 2D?
The film is still going to be available in 2D, it's not like you're not going to have the choice between the two.
The film should look phenomenal in either format as it is being filmed in 48fps.
Let's hope the cinemas have updated their projection systems by then.
I personally think higher frame rates will be a MUCH bigger improvement than 3D ever could be. And thankfully it's something we can enjoy without the need for glasses or new TVs.
I will dance on 3D's grave, when it finally dies again.:)
I havent really found the movie yet I really wanna see in 3D TBH theres not alot out
gaming wise its ok though with
uncharted 3
batman arkum city
silent hill downpour
all have been 3D so its doing more for gaming than it is for movies IMO
I hope that doesn't mean The Hobbit will look garish is 2D.
I thought that worked really well in 3D but I knew straight away it would not work with a non-animated film. There is just so much more you can do with animation that goes well with 3D that just cant happen with real life unless serious CGI is involved.
Faster? What, like everything moving twice as fast? Of course not:

So it will basically be a lot sharper and smoother? I cant get used to images being so smooth TBH, I've hardly ever watched BDs with 100Hz mode on, it looks odd
Yup, basically smoother. However, some people have said that it will be TOO smooth and that in action sequences you'll lose the sense of speed that you currently get due to the presence of motion blur.
