3D EVERYTHING!?!



The movie studio's additionally TV manufacturers are really pushing 3D because the young "must see" experience not to mention "must have" accessory. Is that 3D thing really all its cracked up to be?


People with small children understand the reach and as well impact within 3D blockbuster marketing machine. Nowadays it seems to be that every young animated family film is out in 3D. To this I have to pose the question: After the cool previews and as well first five minutes after the film, do you even think about the fact that the film is 3D? Aside from the annoyingly geeky glasses, of course.


Targeted me at least, once I'm engrossed after the movie, I find myself completely forgetting that what I'm watching happens to be a 3D formatted film. So that $10 premium I just paid, (times four if you have a wife and even two children in tow) begins to really look with the casino bad investment for the incremental entertainment value it brings.


After all, isn't the main purpose of a movie to get you engrossed within the long run storyline? After the incremental advancement from reel-to-reel projectors to DLP, the level of immersion from DLP to 3D is marginal at finest, particularly after the first 5 minutes when viewng the film when you are really paying greater attention included with the effects than the storyline.


Now, with your certain extent, great visuals help with immersion, however, is 3D separation really needed? And perhaps at a 10-15 dollar premium regarding standard ticket prices? I have to say, targeted me at least, the answer is a solid "No"!


My kids still would like to see the 3D version given the 2D version of each "blockbuster" summer film that comes along. However, I'm never too sad when the 3D version is sold out and also now we need to settle for the lowly digital DLP version within the movie. Also my kids still have the same level of 5D entertaining retelling every memorable scene, with cash left over for one few rounds of 3D gaming after the movie. Now that's the real future of 3D.
