Looking forward to this film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game_(film).
It should be rated "R" in order to be good. But, it probably won't.

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention: I saw Prometheus once more before they removed it from the IMAX 3D. Rather than wanting to see the movie again, it was actually an experiment to compare it to the regular theatre when I saw it the first time. I felt it was the perfect opportunity for me to see insanely beautiful sci-fi visuals in the supposed "highest caliber" without having to duck, because Ridley Scott isn't retarded enough to exploit the 3D as other directors would.

Besides the fact that at one point I couldn't wait for the movie to end, I've decided that I won't be seeing anything in 3D again, including TDKR.

I've concluded that 3D is an effect that is there to simpy enhance the effect of how things move in 3D space rather than how they look. Anything that moves in a 3D movie looks horrible with the blurriness and the streaking. Therefore, since any visual advantage of the 3D effect is actually detrimental to viewing, I've decided to stop defending 3D as part of an "immersive" movie experience that other snobs such as myself hoped it would be, and simply state that it's a gimmick that adds nothing visual and only seeks to convert the movie going experience into a theme park ride. So, in closing, the 3D effect is only there to make audiences duck in their seats.

Fuck 3D.

Was TDKR even in 3D?

I saw TDKR in imax non-3D. U mad bro?

3D is a gimmick to "immerse" the viewer into alternate reality for a couple hours because god knows the sub-par acting and awful plots won't get it done. Movies are mostly shit these days, so you need some shiny eye candy to keep the lardasses in the seats.

"Immerse the view into an alternate reality for a couple of hours"

Also, GFY is so hilariously wrong about movies most of the time.

I'm simply lamenting the fact that regardless of all the 3D problems that are fixed with respect to convergence, edge violations, "stereo budgets", etc...stuff that actually create the immersive 3D effect...are ultimately undermined in that the tech only works when the audience is distracted (ducking) and don't pay attention to how horrible the actual on-screen elements look.

it wasnt. hence my post.

Faking 3D might just not do the trick.... something along the lines of spacial 3D manifestation might need to take place before it starts looking and feeling right.

For instance, I thought Avatar was great in 3D...

3D as an idea is fine... it's more than fine, it's inevitable really. But besides the less than perfect implementation of it right now, I think they are having a fundamental problem, they might need to go further than just trying to project 3D at a flat rectangular screen by patching up old technology.

And whatever technology that might be, it could prove completely worthless in the movie making industry. Maybe film might not be able to adapt to something more captivating than what it already is....a projection of pictures in sequence on a flat surface, because of its fundamental requirement of a completely controlled environment, that is required to control the scene, the frame and forcing the attention to whatever the director whats to place focus on.... you know, the kind of shit that they cannot control in plays from the perspective of the audience.
