Terminator 2 3D

I hope they have cleaned up the visual effects otherwise they are going to look awful in 4k a fair chunk of them already look dated alo is this going to be directors cut with extra scenes?

3d in and outside the cinema has flopped this is not because you are required to wear glasses more to it then that.

Not just, no - Visual deviation from the norm, incorrect filming techniques, post-production retrofitting, gimmick usage and other factors, including inflated ticket prices, are some of the other contributory factors.

But if enough of those are corrected, properly done 3D films are frikkin' cool!! :cool:

It'll never have the gravitas that the original showing had on the big screen. The film was just a sum of all parts of the time, Arnie, Guns and Roses, all on an epic scale.

Id imagine terminators in 3d will look the business. Definitely looking forward to seeing it, though I wish Cameron had gone a step further and gone all virtual reality. Those that have played raw data, know how terrifying a life size terminator just is a foot away from you.

Terminator 2 is not going to suddenly become awesome just because it's in 3D. It's already awesome. It's not going to be more awesome.
 
I cannot imagine it in 3D. 3D only works with really contrast-y films. Life of Pi, Avatar, Tron Legacy...
 
3D effectiveness has nothing much to do w/ contrast, lol.
've never seen a 2D -> 3D conversion that worked, if it's not filmed that way in the first place trying to force the format on it is never going to successful.
 
The problem I had with 3d and hence why I stopped going to them quite a few years back is that the 3d seemed like an after thought.
One of the best one i ever saw was a kids film where a red ball on a bat was being whacked out of the screen over and over. It looks so real.
However when you watched 3d films like transformer or such, the 3d was affecting things I wasn't looking at, like a car in your peripheral vision, or a very fast moving object or explosion. This lead to amazing distracting scenes where you don't know where to look. You end up missing the films importance through this distraction. It almost always ended up leaving me with a headache due to not being able to work out where the point of focus was.
 
Just booked tickets, one of my all time fave films, fond memories of "sneaking" in to see it when i was 14 :D
 
The issue with 3D is the same for at least four decades - 3D in games and movies doesn't look like 3D in real world. Instead it looks like a blurry, unsharp cardboard cutouts with weirdly exaggerated depth. It's more akin to watching something underwater in old scuba lenses, than mimicking real life. What's worse - this tech hasn't moved since eighties even one iota it still looks exactly like kids stories in one of those hand held binocular like projectors with round discs. It still relies on the same shoddy optical trickery that produces the same weird, subpar effect - flat pack characters moving in front of screen full of even flatter objects. And everytime they show you large, round object, such as planet, half of the audience get dizzy as their brain interpret it as concave, instead of convex.

I wish they would just give up and focus on picture quality and getting rid of frame rate convertion/motion aberrations.

I've seen two 3D films in my time - Avatar and that Tron one. I got that concave/convex thing with like a chair or something in Avatar, it nearly broke my brain.

I always think it looks like a little cardboard diorama, like one layer in front of another.
 
I actually liked the 3D in Dredd, think that is the only film though. Even then it was not enough to convince me to see other films in 3D.

4k touch up for T2 is pretty cool, but would be cooler if it meant it got released in the cinemas for a few weeks!
 
The inevitable has happened, in that a 4K uhd release is coming out - which is what I and others wanted to see more than the 3D version, since a new 4K digital intermediate would have been done.

Booked my tickets, just to really see T2 at the cinema, probably the film I've watched the most amount of times.
 
Maybe this info is buried somewhere, but which cut is this? I stand by the extended cut, the theatrical edition misses so much.

You have gotta be the same age as me then, because I did exactly the same thing at the Odeon cinema in Peterborough.

Great great movie that I just watched again whilst I was moving my blu ray collection to a digital media source.

Would I watch it in 3d? Of course, but then again if my local cinema were showing it in 2d I would go and watch it again.

A number of years ago I worked at a UCI cinema in Essex and the projection manager at the time still had a copy of T2 from when it was released. During the pick up process back in the day, it had apparently been 'forgotten'. We did watch it again one night after the cinema was closed to the public.
