3D Films
 

I HATE 3D FILMS
I do not feel the need to watch my films in 3D
I do not like wearing annoying glasses through my films
and if I take them off my films all fuzzy:(
ANDDD my boyfriend can't see 3D (he has strange eyes) so it's unfair
and it's more expensive
and one day all the films will be 3D :(
and I was perfectly happy with 2D and the odd special 3D thing where things jumped out at you like muppet 3D vision at disney world

If I watch non-animated films (as in, with people) in 3D I pass out. Feel your boyfriends pain.

Animation is fine, I just get a bit of a headache.

Until the technology allows people to see 3D without special glasses, it's an utter waste of time. IMO 3D is overrated. When hologram projection takes off after 3D, where you're literally in the middle of a film, then I will give the technology some credit.

I'm not a huge fan really, but most films (apart from the recent Saw?) are available to watch in 2D as well. If it is one of the gimmicky types where things fly out at you (they've been able to do that for years!) watching it in 2D is quite funny because you can tell where it's meant to be. For the most part it just adds a little depth to the image.

3D films are better if they are filmed in 3D (like Avatar) rather than rendered into 3D in post-production, like Clash of the Titans.

They didn't really think it through for when DVDs and Blu-Rays are released though, since you can't watch it in 3D on them.

i will go against everyone and say i love 3D movies.

The intelligent use of 3D was the only good thing about Avatar. It was so... atmospheric. Not that "I'm throwing an axe into your eye!!" 3D sh*t.

Can I join in the 3D hatred? I watch 3D but it just DOESNT look like its in 3D to me- it look completely normal so I end up paying more to watch a film and not getting the benefit.

Watching it in 3D hurts my eyes because I have to put those stupid 3D glasses on top of my actual glasses. So yeah, I hate 3D as well!

God, ****ing 3D, what a waste.
I've yet to see a film where the 3D has actually enhanced it - particularly the disney films where it is so unnecessary.

I generally prefer 2D but I'm not particularly picky about it (although I truly resent paying extra for a 3D showing just because I can't make a 2D one), but for the odd film like Avatar 3D really enhanced the experience.

3D where it is designed to be 3D is cool.
Honey I shrunk the audience at disney Florida was amazing! (if its still there?). The dog sneezes and you get covered in droplets and at 9 years old I thought it was the best thing ever.

Normal films, in 3D, are pointless.
As is 3D football etc.

YES AGREED COMPLETELY.

Funny you mention that, I overheard someone on talkback radio say the same thing about honey i shrunk the audience, being amazing. I agree when something flies at you and you have to duck etc the 3D is cool. But in a normal movie, no.

Totally overrated.

The effects aren't brilliant and wearing 3D glasses over normal glasses is a pain.

And the cinema is expensive enough without having to pay extra...

I.. Just don't get it. The movement from video to DVD I understand because it drastically increased the life and quality of the film you're watching. But I just don't think that 3D actually increases the viewing fun much.

Ack, I don't know.

HISTA WAS amazing though! With the jets of air and blasts of water, gosh, I enjoyed it.

I'm with everyone else...it's pretty pointless. 3D doesn't exactly offend me, I'm just indifferent. it hasn't enhanced my viewing pleasure, it was cool the first time and now I'm just wondering why EVERYTHING has to be in 3D, especially when they aren't designed to be 3D like novelty disney theatres :)

and I really don't get the 3D TVs and 3D Sky box stuff. I don't want to sit at home with glasses on to watch the football. I certainly don't want to buy an extortionate amount of money to watch a few select programmes that have been filmed in 3D.

But saying that, I enjoyed Toy Story 3 :)

I HATE 3D films. They give me a horrible headache.
I pay more money for a migrane!!
What a waste of time >.<

That's 4D, no? If it has air blasts and stuff?

They've been able to make 3D films with things flying out at you for years, hell, Alton Towers used to have one about fifteen years ago. And Universal's Terminator 2:3D has been raking in the crowds since 1996! The only difference is the glasses aren't made of red and blue sweetie wrappers any more.

3D sucks!! I've seen two films in 3D this year and didn't feel it enhanced it much. Plus I'm not sure I can even see it properly anyway because I have so little vision in my left eye (Y) Plus the glasses make my forehead REALLY ache but in a weird way and feels so uncomfortable...

Although I went to see some 3D thing at the IMAX cinema a few years ago and that was awesome, things were like coming at you and stuff...which is what I expected to happen again :/

Yes, I saw terminator 2 3D as well. (though my boyfriend doesn't believe me and thinks I dreamt it so thank you for proving its real!) in 1997/8 ish i think.

The thing with those though was that it was a novelty and a different experience, in specialty screens. And perhaps I remember it as being so good because it was the first time most people had really seen 3D, and because I was a kid.

3D now just seems rubbish in comparison.

All movies won't become 3D. Some people can't see 3D. I can't.

Some people are blind, but there are still 2D films. :D

But if what you're saying is 2D films will cease to be made because of 3D films, then yes I agree. :)

FINALLY!

Everyone in my town is in love with 3-D and basically drools when a new movie comes out in 3-D. It makes me want to gather up every 3-D movie reel and burn them in a large fire, and then dance upon the ashes.

I liked Avatar in 3-D but that was unique film visually. Theaters have done this kind of thing before. When TV started to spread in 50s and 60s studios turned out big spectacle films (Cleopatra, Ben Hur etc) in 70 mm (instead of 35mm) under names like Cinemascope and Panavision (they used an anamorphic lens to make movies really wine and big).

Now that people have big HD TVs and Blu-ray disks at home theaters want to sell the big image again. Alas TV's are doing 3D as well now.

3D is so gimmicky! It actually makes me want to see a movie LESS if I know it's in 3D. It's like, can't you just make a movie that's good instead of relying on some stupid trick to get people to see it? Case in point: My Bloody Valentine 3D. The only thing good about it was that the 3D effects were so corny, they made me laugh.

The only good thing I saw in 3D was The Birds at the Alfred Hitchcock theater in Universal Studios like ten years ago. And only then because birds were flying out of the screen and people were screaming and dodging like they were really going to get hit and it was hysterical to watch.

3D hurts my eyes.

I watched 'Alice in wonderland' in 3d and enjoyed it but during the week watched Saw 3D and thought it was rubbish, it just looked 'normal' which infact I took the glasses off and most of it was 'normal' but there were little bits that were 3d. I don't mind if they make a choice but bringing every film out in 3D is just going to drive me mad. ( though some would argue i'm already mad)

Completely agreed. I've only seen one film in 3D, and to be honest if I'd thought ahead I'd have put my contact lenses in. But I didn't, so it was silly.

I've never been able to see 3D. The glasses don't work, the movie looks the same. It's the same with my step father, but he's partially blind, the glasses aren't meant to work on him. I don't know why they don't work on me.

I watched Alice In Wonderland in 3D.
It looked better when I took the glasses off.

3D Fail.

I can't watch 3D. I get headaches and migraine. I can watch about 10 minutes, then i have to give up.

I don't really get 3D movies. I've seen a couple and they look completely and utterly like normal 2D to me, apart from perhaps a five-second bit where something goes slightly 3D and then goes back to normal. Generally speaking, the trailers beforehand are usually more 3D than the film itself.

It's a nice idea, but until they get the hang of it I don't think it's worth the extra dosh.

I just in general think that 3D films are over-rated. I worked at a cinema and got free tickets and still wouldn't go to see the 3D versions because I preferred that 2D ones. It doesn't particularly enhance the viewing experience and is just a bit of a waste of time in my opinion.
