3D is here!

Movies and the 3D have a relationship for a long time. This new 3 dimensions trend is nothing new... what's new is the great experience you now enjoy.

These last few months we've seen many 3D movies being released and most of them were computer animated movies like "Bolt", "Monsters vs Aliens", "Ice Age 3", "Up!" or "Coraline" (this one used the stop-motion technique). The experience lived with these movies were let say... cute, funny and amusing. Nothing extraordinary.
Do you know that show at Disney Parks "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience"? Well, it's a good 3D show, but they use more than just images to tease you. But I like this show.
The animated movies are just nice in 3D, where the most common effect is the depth of field.

But then, when it comes for life-action movies .... oh boy, it's insane! Forget about your fluffy dogs, the cute squirrel or the "dangerous" monsters.
If you want to see what 3D can do for movies check these two: "My Bloody Valentine 3D" and "Final Destination 4: Death Trip".
Nevermind the scripts because you've already seen these type of movies before: a group of teenagers trying to survive a serial killer or to escape death.

What I really enjoyed is how you really live these movies: objects being thrown at you, explosions so close to us, being ran over by a car... it gives you the chills and thrills. They aren't movies for kids! ;-)

One of the drawbacks of a 3D movie is that you have always to pay the 3D glasses. Basically you don't buy them, you pay to use them during the movie and at the end we must give them back. So, for a movie ticket which is already expensive you still have to pay extra for the glasses. Plus, they give us a small cleaning tissue in order to clean the glasses from the previous user!
Another problem are the headaches, because not everyone is capable of watching a whole movie in 3D.

More movies will come with a special 3D version, but some of them I'll skip. But I believe this time 3D has come for good! :-)
