For me, "How to train your dragon" was the most enjoyable 3D experience of all the 3D films I've seen - Avatar, Alice, Clash, HTTYD. The 3D didn't get in the way, and it really enhanced certain parts to the extent that I'd miss it. I've seen this film twice!
Coming to think of it, colour films are pretty useless too. What extra enjoyment do you get from colour films that you can't get from B&W films? Any hitchcock, chaplin, etc. fans here?
"IT ADDS NOTHING TO THE EXPERIENCE." - That's plain BS. It does for me.
"IT CAN BE A DISTRACTION." - Maybe, but so is Eastman color. We're still figuring out the art of it ... and making great progress imo.
"IT CAN CREATE NAUSEA AND HEADACHES." - Even normal film can cause epileptic attacks. So what?
- alextp 17y agoColor, when used by a good director, adds a lot of subtle semantic content to a movie. See some old Almodovar movies, or maybe Kieslowksy's Three Colors trilogy, or even The Matrix. Color adds information that wasn't already there in black-and-white, just like movement and sound adds a lot of information that weren't already there in comic books.
- aufreak3 17y agoI was being sarcastic with my colour related remarks. The point being that a "new" dimension can feel pointless initially. Its as strange to think of 3D as a "new" dimension as it is to think of "colour" as one.
- hugh3 17y agoAny hitchcock, chaplin, etc. fans here? Don't forget that Hitchcock made a 3D movie -- Dial M For Murder was originally done in 3D, and in fact I've never seen it in 2D. There's exactly one moment where the 3D becomes worthwhile, it's where (spoiler alert) the woman getting attacked desperately reaches out onto the desk, towards the audience and picks up the shiny letter opener...
