I've been to see 3D Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans & Avatar... yesterday I went 2 see a 4D film at legoland. The movies never look 3d 2 me and when everyone is oooing and ahhing around me I have 2 fake my ooo's and ahh's just 2 fit it, yesterday i even oooh'ed when I shoulda ahhh'ed...most embaraasing

Am i a mutant? do i just have f'ed up eyesight or am i wearing the glasses wrong, should i be staring at a certain place on the screen? what's the deal or is this just like the story of the emperor's new clothes and no one can really see anything but just want to fit in2 the crowd?

Actually, the only time I saw anything even closely resembling 3d was on the spiderman ride @ Universal studios in Florida but as far as I know that wasn't 3d was it?

When I first saw some movie in 3D, I was like "that's all?" It's not as great as everybody oooh's and aaah's.

that lego land mess was a mess not 3-d . don't know what to tell yoiu about the other movies

Many years ago there was a JAWS shark film it 3d, needless 2 say that sucked too

I'm wondering if this whole 3d thing is a con just 2 extract more money out of consumers, build upa hype then sell people medicre crap that makes promises it can't keep. I pay extra for HD tv in my cable package... HD on the whole sucks too

I saw Avatar in 3d and it was pretty good. I didn't 'ooh' or 'aah' but then neither did anyone else.

I am reliably informed however, that you need to be in an IMAX cinema to get the full effect. Perhaps, there I would 'ooh'

Johnny Depp refuses to goto 3d films and Howard Stern got a headache..me too.
I like the red green glasses better..saw the creature of the black lagoon when i was 6 in 3d.
That was cool.
The clash of the titans sucked bigtime.
The 3d stuff looks like one of them jesus postcards in 3d..lol..
I wasn't impressed...I think it might be fucking with ur brains too..the glasses that is.

I like the one where he's on the cross and if you move it up and down his eyes open and close..lol..some very kitsch too..sounds like a cool collection

I'm not a fan of the 3D thing personally....

I saw Avatar, Up, and How to Train Your Dragon in 3D... In general I pick up the 3D just fine and I don't get headaches; however, when the camera work moves fast I feel like my eyes don't have time to focus on what's going on and things become fuzzy. I find the novelty tends to distract from the experience of the film, and you miss the little details.

For future movies I plan to opt for the traditional 2D presentation; hopefully this 3D stuff will die down soon. Everyone acting as if Avatar was the first film to ever broadcast in modern 3D. The first live-action maybe, but CG and Claymation were both well ahead.

Ive heard they make 3d televisions now... Who would want to sit around at home wearing those dumb glasses every night!

I imagine they'd be great for gaming

I found 3D only really works if the cinema has a big screen and you sit in the middle, fairly close to the front. You should try to sit in a place where if you focus on the centre of the picture you can not see the edges of the screen.

I think it's good for certain types of film, but you end up being more interested in the cinematography then the characters and plot. I don't mind that happening with action movies that don't offer much on those things anyway, but for decent films it just serves as a distraction.

Are you colorblind?

sexyAuntyFuka said:

Congratulations! You just lost two hours of your life + 8 bucks!

Do you see real life in 3D? Do you perceive depth normally? These movies are just imitating what most people see with there own yes everyday. Depth to an image because you have two eyes that see slightly different angles.

sexyAuntyFuka said:

That would explain everyone going to see Avatar

By the way I heard like two parts of Alice In Wonderland are in 3D and the rest was just blurry shit.

ufoclub said:

Uhhhh...real life is 3-D. Movies are only 2-D.

Genesia said:

I ooh and ahh when Gascot walks towards me

Cinnie said:

That's because the Snuggie creates greater depth in his image.

Don't worry, you're not missing much. The 3 big 3D movies (Avatar, Alice and Clash) aren't really fine works of cinema to begin with. Well, avatar is probably the best of the three, even though it's story is generic, at least it had a very cool art direction to it.

Also, you guys heard about Nintendo's next gaming handheld? The 3DS? It's suppose to do portable 3D without glasses.

Genesia said:

Isn't that what I just said?

ufoclub said:

aside from mistyping eyes as yes...

It means your eyes see differently than other folks.

Treatment may be available...

There are a lot of disorders that can effect depth perception (and the effectiveness of 3D glasses) such as having a lazy eye or anything which causes your eyes to be out of line with one another etc.
