caddymanI shall be glad when this current fad for 3D movies wears off. Few if any are worth the effort of sitting in a cinema with those ludicrous 3D glasses they give you and it’s just another reason for film makers to ignore plot at the expense of fancy effects. Now I admit that the only 3D film I’ve seen since the recent craze started was the risible Alice in Wonderland and that apparently was converted to 3D in post production. I am told that other films have had better effects.
On the other hand, there are yet other films that do not have better 3D effects. I understand from a couple of reviews and from hearsay elsewhere, that Thor is one of these. Now that’s a film I want to see; the reviews of the film itself have been positive – Empire gave it an excellent 4 star rating – but apparently the 3D is a waste of time, so I want to see it in glorious 2D, which means that I shall have to search it out.
Film makers should forget 3D until the day they can make something with a good story and dialogue, good cinematography, excellent graphics and a 3D effect that does not require sitting for a couple of hours with idiot goggles perched on your nose, afraid to move your head in case the effect disappears (if it ever appears in the first place), you get a headache or motion sickness or simply neck and back strain from sitting like a zombie.
2D works. And it’s not as if most film makers can make a decent movie in traditional style.
