I won’t try to sway anyone who is not convinced by the current format of 3D cinema that we have these days but it really has come a long way since the days of cardboard glasses with one blue and one red lens.
Personally I am a fan of the the new 3D technology as I believe that it is the future of cinema bringing a more engaged and immersed cinematic experience. Though at the same time I believe that there should be some guidelines as to what and what shouldn’t be made as 3D movies and how they should go about doing it.
I do support converting old movies into 3D, especially not cartoon animations as after seeing the trailer for the converted Lion King I felt that it just wasn’t as smooth and convincing as computer animated movies or live-action films that are either shot in or converted to 3D.
Also it produces a much better experience if the movie is actually shot in 3D rather than simply converted after the movie is filmed.
I know this across as a bit of a 3D stan post, then again I suppose that is true in part. My collection of 3D glasses from all the movies that I’ve been to see can vouch for that, maybe if I get the time I’ll take a picture of them.
I suppose all that’s left to do now is to list all the movies that I’ve seen in 3D in the order that I watched them, here goes nothing:
- Beowulf
- Journey to the Center of the Earth
- Bolt
- Coraline
- Monsters vs. Aliens
- The Final Destination
- Avatar
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Weird I thought I had seen more. Anyway I will continue to see movies in 3D, be it RealD or Digital 3D.
