Poll: 3D - "Yay" or "Meh"

spudbynight · 8 May 2012 at 19:05

So, we have had 3D for a while now. What do people think?

I loved it for Avatar but since then I have struggled to see a film that was improved by it. Some films (Clash of the Titans I am looking at you) were a complete waste of time.

I am actually sick of paying extra for 3D now and wanting to take the glasses of after 5mins and watch the film normally.

What do others think? (Dons can we have a poll?)

Meh big time - think it works 'best' for animated movies...

Ill change my mind when holographic 3D turns up

If you have 2 pairs of glasses you can change the filters so one has both lefts and the other has both right lenses to cancel the 3D effect IIRC, still left with the reduction in brightness due to polarisation though...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Overpriced meh.

Marky · 8 May 2012 at 19:15

Definitely "meh". The only film I've seen where they use it well is Avatar. But that's mainly for the depth. I hate it though - It won't be a success in my eyes until they get rid of the glasses... And even then I'm not that bothered

Most definitely a resounding 'MEH'! Not becasue of the visuals, but because on each occassion I've tried to watch a movie in 3D I've been thwarted by the stupid glasses not fitting over my regular glasses.

Meh

The glasses make my eyes ache and the picture dull and blurry. The cost is ridiculous too.

Meh.

Not worth the extra few quid AT ALL.

In fact I usually enjoy the film less. I enjoyed HP7B much more in 2D than I did in 3D at IMAX the previous week.

Avatar and Hugo were fantastic, everything else was a waste of time and money.

It's all down to the director I would say. It's no wonder that James Cameron and Martin Scorsese use it to great effect and mindless big budget carp doesn't.

Meh.

Can't wait till it goes away.

BunnyKillBot · 8 May 2012 at 19:43

Meh doesn't quite go far enough for me. Its NOT 3D. Its stereoscopic with a fixed focal point.

Bring on 48p, but 3d can go **** itself

Skull · 8 May 2012 at 19:45

Hate it, and gives me a headache.

lurkio · 8 May 2012 at 19:45

Uber Meh ....... it just makes films look darker

Tunney · 8 May 2012 at 19:49

It detracts from live action movies. It's OK for animation though.

Guerrilla · 8 May 2012 at 19:53

Meh... Tried it a few times and each time regretted / was totally underwhelmed by it.

This. it was a fad in the 50's, then the 80's & now. Hopefully it will disappear & by the time it comes back I'll've popped my clogs. :mad:

James Cameron subtle, immersive 3d is great. The gimmicky novelty 3d is meh.

Vonhelmet · 9 May 2012 at 00:18

Absolutely massive meh.

pingwing · 9 May 2012 at 00:30

Meh, saw alice in wonderland, terrible film made worse with 3d.

Do appreciate being able to see animated films on digital projectors (tintin was really nice to watch) but I can't stand paying more to wait for less frequent showings (with the 2d/3d split at cinemas).

It'll get relegated back to theme park attractions again hopefully.

a1ex2001 · 9 May 2012 at 14:29

most of the time I've found it a massive meh but I did really like it in Toy Story 3

twist3d0n3 · 9 May 2012 at 14:37

hate it personally; got a headache watching avatar and didn't think it added anything to the movie (it was pants anyway).

tragically, prometheus is only being shown in 3d apparently; gonna watch it at the cinema anyway, just not particularly thrilled about the 3d aspect

Is 3D worth it?

Yes

No
