Last year I watched 4 movies in the then "newfangled" Digital 3D. First I saw the animated movies Monsters Vs Aliens and Ice Age 3 which were fun movies and the 3D was not too bad. Next I saw The Final Destination, which was pretty good and had some good "pop out" and make you jump moments in it. Finally I saw Avatar...the movie of all movies it would seem, and it is really good, and was awesome in 3D.
This year there are LOTS of 3D movies being released...but are they not not just jumping on the bandwagon? Several of these movies were not shot in 3D and have been turned into 3D in post-production, which gives you some 3D effect, it it does not have proper perspective or depth as if the movie was actually shot in 3D. Prime examples of movies that were made 3D in post production are Alice In Wonderland and Clash Of The Titans...and both movies I personally do not see what the point was in having any parts in 3D as most of it felt like it was still in 2D anyway.
The other thing about 3D movies is the price...sure, I understand this is a "new technology" that is being used, but does it really have to cost that much at the cinema? Is it because of the glasses? If that's the case perhaps we could get a discount if were bring a pair of glasses with us?
I guess the problem is that Avatar was way TOO successful and this is why production companies are now rushing to get thier precious 2D movies into post processing to make them 3D so that they make more cash, but by making a movie 3D in post production is not big and clever, in fact most movie goers will see that kind of movie and sadly will be put off seeing most other 3D movies.
I wonder, will the madness end before it is too late? Somehow I seriously doubt it....
