What is so special about 3d films? I don't get it. I have been to see about 3 or 4 of them. Only in 1 did I get what I was expecting because it seems as though if you are not in the right seats it doesn't really work. And even the film where it did work annoyed me. There I was trying to watch a film and it was as though rain was splashing against my glasses, as though branches of trees were impeeding my viewing.
On top of that they charge extra to go and see these films. So I pay a monthly amount to be able to see any film but then suddenly I have to pay extra for some... what a crock!
If all these effects are in a theme park ride I get it but why do people want it when they are watching a film. When I am watching a film I want to lose myself in the story. It is not like the effect is like a holodeck from star trek where you are actually involved in the story - and even then if I wanted to watch a film I wouldn't go to holodeck.
The new Harry Potter film will be out soon and again it is in 3d. I have not intention of going to watch it in 3d, the story is what I want. If I want things flying at me, making me want to duck I will go to Universal studios and go on their 3d rides.
Went to see 'The Kids are alright' today. Not in 3d I might add. It was actually very good, there were a few good lines that had me laughing. There were quite a few truisms in the way the family were portrayed and that was nice to see. So many of these films have unrealistic family dynamics it was nice to see some reality in it. And all of this was acheived without the need for 3d.
Enough ranting, I know some people really like it, it enhances the experience for them but not for me. I hope it doesn't get to the point where you can only see some films in 3d, it would be a bad day if that happened in my opinion.
