Empire Strikes Back for me. Amazing.
> Despite an increase in 3-D releases, the box-office market for that particular upcharge is falling as 3-D has gone from being a special experience to a perfunctory feature for every blockbuster.
The problem is the directors using 3D just couldn't resist the overused trope of having an arrow (or spears, in the case of Star Trek: Out of Darkness) fly out of the screen at the audience. I dunno, maybe it was intended as an homage to the old Anaglyph 3-D movies, but it fell flat.
- michaelchisari 9y agoThe only movies I've seen that do 3-D "right" have been Avatar and Dredd. The former because the technology was built around the film, and it was presented in this subtle way that created an extraordinary depth without feeling cheesy or tacked on. The latter because they really did some cool effects with the "Slo-Mo" drug that didn't have the same impact in 2-D. But aside from those, it just feels like a way to charge more for a less-enjoyable experience (films that are too dark, potential headaches, uncomfortable glasses).
