I’m rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn’t see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I’m curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

    If a movie was shot in 3d and the CGI was designed in 3d and the movie was produced for 3d I’ve generally enjoyed them (Avatar, Gemini Man, Alita Battle Angel). If however the 3d is produced by an off shore sweat shot rotoscoping a 2d shot then layering everything over a parallax background that’s an immediate pass.

    I’d love if there was a 3d movie distribution app/platform for VR headsets though. I had to buy the 3d Blu-ray release of a movie, a PC Blu-ray drive, Blu-ray ripping software, then render that to a stereoscopic player and set a VR app to copy my desktop in stereoscopic mode just to watch it. That cost like $100 for a movie, and it seems more people have a quest or some shit then ever had a 3d TV.

      Oh man, Alita had some amazing sequences, so damned good in 3d. I’m still crushed we’ll never see the rest in theatres.

        Good news! There will be a sequel! We (the fans) did a lot of stuff to I guess convince “them” to go ahead and make the two sequels. I wrote a blog about it - there is also a link way down to SCREENGEEK that talks about the sequels

      You’re either in the industry or a big nerd. I had no idea they did that to 2d movies. Might explain some bad experiences

      I watched a 3DBR in PSVR but the quality was so bad I never bothered again.

      They don’t even make 4K 3D discs so I guess that format is dead. High frame rate never made it either.
