Who here likes 3D and who here isn't moved at all about it?

Timothy Newbie Posts: 9	Debate #2 : 2D vs 3D Jan 5, 2013 4:31:12 GMT Post by Timothy on Jan 5, 2013 4:31:12 GMT To me, 3D is just a low-cost gimmick with a very lucrative outcome. Shooting a movie in 3D or simply putting a 3D-filter over it costs little to no time and little to no money, but some movie theatres make you pay a hell of a lot more for 3D. In my town, we pay €5 (6$) for a regular movie and €10(12$) for a movie in 3D. That's a LOT of money for a red/green filter and the rental costs for a pair of silly looking glasses. Speaking of those glasses: have any of you that wear glasses ever tried to watch a 3D movie? Aren't the glasses simply a pain in the butt? Whenever I watch a 3D movie (and quite frankly, that's a lot, because I'm a movie freak and my theatre does nothing but show 3D movies -_-") it annoys me to hell that I always have to shove those silly glasses back up the bridge of my nose. I even went to a cinema once that had such bad glasses I had to hold them for the entire movie, which pretty much ruined the entire experience for me. So, my opinion is simply this: it's a useless gimmick and it ruins most of the movies that are done in it.

We have a VUE and our local cinema. To be honest the VUE glasses aren't too bad, but I've been to the local cinema twice, once they turned the sound off half way through the film and the 3D was terrible anyway and the second time the glasses they had were so bad I sat through the film actually looking at my own face and nothing on the screen! I don't think it adds much, in fact I was more upset by Dredd that I had to watch it twice in 3D. I had no choice in the matter as Dredd was filmed specifically for 3D and therefore wasn't shown in anything but 3D. Thankfully the Hobbit was in 2D because when me and David went to see it days after it came out we decided to buy VIP seats, and its a good thing we got VIP seats because the cinema was packed! If we had been forced into buying 3D as well (like my mum was for Dredd) the ticket price would have been up to £15 (thank god for orange Wednesdays!) Thing is when I saw the Hobbit in 3D it wasn't worth the extra money either! I like my 2D movies, happy not everything in VUE is 3D only, only Dredd and Silent Hill so far.

Rick Staff Posts: 379	Debate #2 : 2D vs 3D Jan 5, 2013 18:33:48 GMT Post by Rick on Jan 5, 2013 18:33:48 GMT Its alright, though I have to say that it isn't worth the money you spend on it. The thing I have with it is when I've seen movies in 3D they've had minimal 3D aspects and I've only gone to see it in 3D as the 3D showing was the better one to go to. The big 3D films (like Avatar, Tim Burtons Alice and Dredd) I haven't been to see in the cinema so apparently I'm missing out because according to my partner when they aim the film at 3D the 3D works. As I haven't watched any of those films in 3D I'm still in the "can't be bothered" camp. Though I have to say that I know many people who loved Avatar and Alice so much in 3D they watch EVERYTHING in 3D.

I never saw Avatar or Alice but if you want a opinion based on Dredd... It wasn't worth seeing in 3D twice. The worst though was without a doubt Star Wars. Why oh why do they have to REBRING out classic (well maybe not classic ) films with 3D?! The only 3D in Star Wars PM was the flowers at the end, granted they were beautifully done, but it was one second and not worth the price tag or sitting through a whole movie wearing glasses. If Star Wars had just came out in cinema for no reason I'd still have gone to see it as a Star Wars fan, the 3D was pointless. Like Saw 3D, a few good blood splatter effects, but it added zilch to the film.

I'd agree with all of you but I just love the experience. I am quite easy to please though. I can't say I'm a film buff other than loving films, when they say they are in 3D for a layman it is quite exciting. It works for me! Maybe I'm the fool that they aim it for. I would say it is over expensive but as I'm not that bad off it doesn't bother me as I like to splash out when I go cinema so the extra price means little to me. Our cinema's glasses are quite good, though I'm used to wearing glasses so it doesn't bother me that much as it is natural reflexes! I do love 3D I have to say

I like it well enough as a treat but I can't be bothered with it really. I do hope the stupid 3D movies will end though, I'm fed up of only having 3D showings. I'd much prefer to have the choice. Did the James Bond film come out in 3D? Because I don't think it did in any cinema I saw and that was one of the biggest films. Not being a film guy being more interested in sports, do they bring out how much of the overall viewing figures are split? OK that made no sense, I mean is there any way officially to tell how many people have, for example, seen The Hobbit in 3D and 2D respectively?
