Shirtless Crackhead Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I had a hard time enjoying it stoned, that's saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) 3D is amazingly simple. It's worked great 20 years ago and before and probably won't improve much. The problem is half the movies coming out weren't in 3d weren't even originally filmed in 3d, or the content was too static to fully take advantage of 3d. My best 3d experience ever was at the omni-max in dallas where they filmed a super high resolution 3d video of a plane flying through the grand canyon-- or some canyon. And that was like 15 years ago. I also think avatar's biggest strength was its use of 3d and cgi. Without the massive iMax in front of you and 3d, it just sucks ass. I tried watching it on my tv and speakers, where I usually enjoy movies, but avatar was just so bad.

LS Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have been told by eyedoctor people that I don't have depth perception, so I assume that I am probably not seeing 3D correctly, which is probably why I don't like it. It just seems like a waste of time to me. I saw Avatar in 2D and thought it was fine, although as usual I found the fictional universe more interesting than the story they were telling. For that reason, I have higher hopes for the sequels than I gather is the norm. I really don't get how people can have such strong reactions to this movie, positive or negative. I guess it looked a little bit better than other stuff, but I only notice graphics quality type stuff for like two minutes before immersion/suspension of disbelief kick in and I don't really care. Its plot wasn't bad enough that I couldn't be immersed to the point where I noticed the visuals, and I really liked the dynamics of some scenes (mostly just with the humans, actually. One of the scenes with the video log thing, and that scene in the cell when they're arrested, are the ones that stick out), but it mostly was not anything special. It seems like people either really like it because it's pushing some technical boundery that they're pretending to understand so they can be cool, or really don't like it because it's popular and successful. I am okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 It seems like people either really like it because it's pushing some technical boundery that they're pretending to understand so they can be cool, or really don't like it because it's popular and successful. That's an idiotic overgeneralization. I liked it cuz it looked fucking rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 You don't know, shit can be embraced, especially if it's huge and record breaking-- and rock solid with plenty of 3d depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataraxis Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sometimes bad movies have good effects/features. I didn't see Avatar in 3D, but I don't think I could sit through it again just for that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 You should definitely sit through it again for 3d! Although avatar isn't quite so good unless it's 3d, massive bunker busting shits are glorious no matter how you view them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataraxis Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 If the 3D in the sequel is touted as being just as impressive as in the first, I'll probably just go that route instead. I am at least a little curious about where they're going to take the story. I just hope it doesn't repeat too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMERIAN BLOOD GOD Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah Avatar 3D was awesome. I wouldn't watch it on one of those 3D TVs though. I probably wouldn't watch it again, either, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie. I liked it but don't need to see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 3d TVs are dumb to me. I get the point, but it never feels like the theater. I much rather buy a big ass hd projector so I could cover my entire wall, or maybe better speakers so it could at least sound like the theater.

SUMERIAN BLOOD GOD Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 My buddy's parents have a 3DTV and it looks fucking weird when it's not playing 3D programming. It's hard to describe but movement looks unnatural and it just feels off. I haven't watched 3D stuff on it so idk how that looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Might be that motion plus shit? You know how a lot of TVs now are advertised as like 240hz and shit, although nothing has 240fps. The tv has to interpolate false frames that sometimes people describe as soap opera effect, whatever that is.

Aokiryu89 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) James Cameron should just make Battle Angel Alita already before his mind goes like Lucas. (That is to say if it hasn't yet). Oh and Avatar... Edited March 4, 2012 by Ogawa Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I agree with that video, nuke from orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Knight Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lol at Ferngully/Pocahontas 3D live action. It was horrible. The script is ridiculously bad. The cgi was it. Take the CGI away and you have shit. This as a trilogy makes no fucking sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
