And yet the 3D upconversion of Terminator 2 was incredibly well done. Like anything else, the quality is based on the effort and money you put into it. (Compare with the 3D Jurassic Park, which varies from adequate to terrible.)
That said, the best native 3D movie I've ever seen is Dredd. The few upconverted scenes stick out like sore thumbs because they're so planar.
- knolan 7y agoDredd, while an excellent movie in general, really was a very good example of 3D cinema. I attribute it to the way the slo-mo effect reset the 3D perception in my mind. I remember going to see one of the Abrams Star Trek movies in 3D and at the start on some technicolour planet someone throws a spear at the screen and I’d say most of the audience tried to physically dodge it. Thereafter I forgot about the 3D effect and my brain adjusted. In Dredd, every time there is a scene where someone inhales the slow-mo drug the brightness of the scene increases dramatically. It restarted that part of the brain that made me want to dodge that spear.
- classichasclass 7y agoYes, the Slo-Mo effects were mesmerizing. In 2D they were pretty (despite depicting sometimes extraordinarily violent scenes, though I think this was a deliberate commentary by the filmmakers). But in 3D they had the uncommon quality of being hyperreal and hyperunreal at the same time, some weird appeal to your addled occiptal lobe - case in point where Dredd flings Ma-Ma out a window and the shards of glass twinkle like a gentle rain of thousands of diamonds. If someone watched those scenes purely in 2D they missed that experience entirely.
