Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION - DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, STARMUNCH!

Just got back from watching this with my son. Felt disappointed really as heard so many good things. I'm not a big Marvel fan so maybe that's it. I didn't think the guardian's of the galaxy lot really mixed in well and it just seemed a mish mash of fight scene after fight scene.

When is 3D at the cinema going to die? I went to the Leicester Square Imax in London to see this a second time and have never been to an imax before, and even with laser projection making the 3D brighter I still detested it, motion looks absolutely appalling with it.
Really hoping it's not round much longer as it's not in TVs any longer and it just doesn't add anything other than distraction.

Clearly people are watching and buying the tickets otherwise they wouldn't do it. It doesn't work for every film though, I'm sure it's one of the reasons Dredd flopped at the UK box office because every showing I could find in a 20 miles radius was in 3D so I never went.

Dredd was only released in 3D, such a mistake and if they hadn't done it we'd probably have a few well deserved sequels by now.

However the 3D in Dredd is some of the best i've ever seen on the big screen combined with the slo-mo drug and the soundtrack. Helps it was filmed with 3D cameras and not post converted like Avengers was.
 
Aye Dredd made probably the best use of 3D of any of the films from that period, I don't mind 3d at the cinema as long as it's done well, but it doesn't work at home at all imo.

I do think some people have been put of 3D by the terrible usage of it in a lot of the early films where it was shoehorned in post production, or the director could not grasp that certain scenes not only don't work well in 3d, but actively cause pain/strain in the viewers (fast cuts/rapid zooms for long periods may be ok in 2d, but when it's requiring your eyes to adjust constantly and rapidly it can/'does cause issues with a lot of people).
 
The impressive thing about this film... it was the first film shot entirely in IMAX.
 
It was ok. There were plenty of bits that could have been cut out. Hell, you could even had just had the last half an hour and still ended up with the same movie.

Our cinema was dead, but then it was a nice hot day.

What other feature films have been shot entirely in imax?

The clue is, you said "film" not feature film. It might be the first "hollywood" feature film to be shot entirely in IMAX, possibly even the first "feature" film, but it's not the first "film".

Sorry, I assumed that people understood that I was talking about hollywood feature films, not some obscure art-house films :o
