So lately I've fallen into a number of conversations on the subject of 3D films. And seriously the entire concept seems to be more polarizing than some of the worst political discussions I've ever had the misfortune to witness or engage in. With no exaggeration intended, people seem ready to either laud over or go to war against the new craze in filmmaking.
If it's big budget and it's coming out in theaters, dammit it will be in 3D, objects popping out of the screen in every manner, color, and biological representation. And this seems to offend a number of people to the extreme. Well then, why not IMAX, or color film, or talkies... I mean the last time it seems this type of rumble and explosion of activity occurred over an evolution in the process of making film - talkies - people were up in a roar, but not because they didn't think it was a good thing for film. More that time around it was a fear of the unknown. A fear of losing employment, etc.
Now though, people seem truly irritated about the idea that should they choose to view a film at the theater, all three dimensions may be thrust upon them. Well at least the simulacra of said dimensions - really I think they're just pissed about having to wear the glasses.
I truly don't know where my opinion rests on this one but, I will agree with my friend Amanda that Avatar - no other way should it be seen. Yes, we all know it's simply Dances With Wolves meets the Smurfs, but, dang that was one beautiful film. The rest of them out there, should they be wasting money this economy already doesn't seem to have, to go supremely over budget just to ride the coattails of all the rage?
Jury's still out...
