anyone seen this anywhere? i've checked about 10 cinemas in my area, all are ONLY showing it in 3d. i've absolutely no interest in seeing this in 3d, i hate 3d. i live in the south, reading area. does this even exist? is 3d being forced upon us? let me know so i can cut myself now!
 
mehhh it's the principle. i don't like watching stuff in 3d, and it gives my gf a headache, so it's quite out of the question. i can't believe "no-one" is, usually they show it in both so you have a choice.
 
Not seen it advertised anywhere in 2D , Finally saw it last night in 3D and it was great!

I'd imagine when it comes out on DVD it will be in standard 2D just like Avatar was.

I'm not a fan of 3D either... As i think they add in pointless scenes just to show it - saying that i thought it was the best 3D i've seen so far.

I also think the reason why they try not to show it in 2D is to help stop people recording it!
 
to me 3D works in the cinema as the screen is large enough to get peripheral vision, but in the home market won't work as screens are not big enough and you'll see around it.
But same as Avatar it's amazing in 3D, shame prices are high for it :(

Since Resident Evil was originally shot in 2D I would imagine this is definitely the case but as far as I'm aware there was only a 3D cinema release.

Actually this film was shot in 3D (According to the link posted below, this is the first movie to be shot in 3D since 2010 apart from Step-Up 3D), and most of the scenes (pretty much most of the film :p) were made for the 3D part of it, hence it looking kind of futuristic in some scenes e.g. the white rooms, the characters wearing dark/black clothes and all the scenes where something is thrown towards you or bullets being fired towards you, explosions, the zombies etc.

That might help people make there mind up if they are going to see it in 3D :p :D

Personally I think it is the best film for just the 3D aspect of it that has been released so far (also loved the film as well :D, especially Milla :D, it was worth seeing it just for her :p), according to that review as well, it is suppose to be even better than Avatar in 3D (I haven't seen it in 3D, but most of my friends and that review state that resident evil is better than it for the 3D part of it, because Avatar was pretty much all CGI so it wouldn't look as good etc.)

Although if you suffer from headaches from seeing 3D films, then it might not be a good idea :(

EDIT: I don't seem to get any headaches at all from the 3D, but for the first 15 minutes, my eyes feel quite soar and feel like they dry up a lot :(, but after that, they feel great again, so might just be my eyes adjusting to the effects of 3D probably :confused: :p

I went to the cine with my friend, a fellow forum member, thinking that we could catch a 2d showing. Alas it's 3d only as you say, so I came home and downloaded a pirate copy in 2d..
Bit of a shame really, I was more than willing to pay (made the trip into town etc), but I'm not bending on this 3d fad, it's just utter carp. I don't appreciate the effect, nor the dumb glasses, nor the hike in cinema prices etcetcetcetc. I wont support it :).
