    Or just take a friend with you and you can each look through one eye of the glasses.

    I'm blind in one eye, so I hate 3D and the social divide it causes.
    I had to go home as all my friends wanted to see tron 3d, and I can't, and there was no 2d option (and I hate everyone having to "compensate" for me).

    Not that I missed much though.

    I will. Tbh I never understand why people seem to like it so much, because it's shit.

    Because directors have 3D in mind when they make the film and it effects the 2D version? For better or worse, its not as simple as 'just watch it in 2D;, I don't understand that point.

    This. My dad's blind in one eye but quite happily went to a couple of 3D movies, he just wore the glasses as normal and boom, 2d picture.

    This is only true whilst it's a gimmick. Once it settles down you'll have less of the 'WOAH SHIT FLYING TOWARDS THE CAMERA, LOOK AT THE DEPTH' nonsense and just have films that happen to be in 3D.

    You have shit mates. Seriously. Why couldn't they just choose one of the other 13 films on at the Enormoplex while you were with them, and watch Tron some other time?

    The blurring you see without glasses is because you're seeing the left and right eyes' images being projected simultaneously. With the glasses on you'll just see one of the images and it'll look like a 2D film, only darker.

    I wouldn't be that concerned. It adds little.

    We will see about that in coming years.
  • Deleted user 20 December 2010 16:48:34
    Didn't say that. Its still early days for 3D, I am not sure you can make a judgement this early on as to how it will effect the quality of the overall movie in 2D, for good or bad.

    3D's great. I didn't even notice Avatar was shit until I watched it on Blu-ray.

    We're still in the whizzbang phase of modern 3D filmmaking - personally I enjoy the novelty but am more excited by the potential. Filmmakers like Scorsese and Herzog are producing 3D films so it'll be interesting to see if these respected directors can mature the form.

    I think 3D is a passing fad, tbh. There will probably always be a portion of movies being made in 3D, but once the novelty wears off, they will be fewer and further in between.

    We went through this already in the 80s.
  • Deleted user 20 December 2010 17:17:02
    3d is rubbish. And it will always be rubbish. No amount of turd polishing will ever make a 3d film good.

    At least until Mrs Hermit lets me buy a 3d tv. Then it will be brilliant.

    It won't be a passing fad, simply because the big studios, Rupert Murdoch and TV manufacturers are fully embracing it.

    I don't think it'll have the rocket-like adoption that DVD had, but it's inevitable. There are too many companies with too much money invested for it to fail.

    3d is here to stay, I quite like it, apart from it being shoehorned into every shitty release

    when its done right its done good, just like CGI, but it shouldn't be used as a gimmick

    Like the 80s, innit? Or was it the late 70s?

    Why not just go and watch it in 3d anyway? If you wear the goggles and you're blind in one eye, you basically see the 2d version anyway, don't you?
