All these 3d movies so far have been second rate. If you want to see fast clourful moving objects in 3 dimensions then go watch the traffic. Start making movies where all the effort goes into the storyline first and visual effects second.

I have yet to see a film in 3D. On a fairly similar note, has anyone here played the new Nintendo 3DS which supposedly gives 3D without the need for glasses?

To me its was proper 3d, and it was all the asgard stuff (more than half the movie) and thors hammer time on earth, to me specifically Thor 3d was not a money grab and well worth seeing and justifable. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder regarding money grabbing 3d and thats fair enough but not in case imho.

I don't know what you mean by 'proper 3D'. 3D movies are either shot in 3D, or shot in 2D then converted to 3D. Thor was shot in 2D, and was intended to be released in 2D, before someone got the idea to convert it. That idea was motivated by money, there are any number of commentators that came to this conclusion.

I found Thor decent enough craic, and 3D can offer a good experience when done well, but I and many, many others just thought Thor 3D to be a poor representation of the technology.

do they charge more to watch 3d??

found that out to my cost one day, kids birthday she invited 9/10 kids cant remember but the look on my wifes face when she came away from the counter told its own picture!!

Nearly took the kids out of the place when i found the bill
and is it for the glasses?  which I presume you don't get to keep either, so is it for rental for the glasses?  I presume the glasses aren't like the ones you get with the 3d tv's?
Extra £2 each in our local cinema. £22 for me and 3 kids last time I went for 2 or 3 scenes that characters come out from the screen. Novelty wears off quickly although a good horror in 3d might be worth the money.

Luckily most films are in both 2 and 3d so can fob the kids off that we missed the 3d version.

Wonder will it still sink?

Saw a couple of 3d films.  Alice in Wonderland and Clash of the Titans.  AIW was a decent enough film but didn't see the need for 3d and CotT was dung.  Both ways.  Kinda put me off the idea of 3d but a good experience might change my mind

Haven't seen anything near spectecular in terms of the 3d side of things. It's surprising no films have been made specifically for showcasing 3d cinema.

I wear glasses. Would the 3-D glasses fit over my specs or what?

Have never watched a film in 3-D.

That makes me laugh. James Cameron has often said that people should not be allowed to release films in 3D that were not originally shot in 3D. He feels it's ruining 3D.

And now it's beginning out Titanic 3D to cash in on the 100th Anniversary.

Is it just me or are the movies not actually 3D. I can't see any difference. Am I sittint too close to the screen.

I saw Avatar in 3D, great experience from a quality point of view but as for actual 3d (scenes appearing as if they werte closer to you than they actually are) then there were only a few scenes in the film that you would have noticed it.

Have a I am Number 4, Limitless and True Grit to get through this weekend, anyone seen them?

Movie that thinks its smarter than it is. Skip it.

True Grit is a good watch. Prefered the original but they gave it a good whack.
