Film School Rejects: Iron Man 2 in 3D: No, That’s Not Cool

  • mychaleg · 2 months ago
    i've seen a few of these 3D movies and i'm over it now. UP was the only one that seemed worth it. more and more it's coming off as something forced on me as a way to get more of my monies. even if Iron Man 2 was shot in 3D, i still wouldn't be interested.

    It makes you wonder if Marvel could have used the same money they'd spend on converting the film to 3D to keep Terrence Howard on as Rhodie.

    But didnt they say it had nothing to do with money? After the fact of course.

    I cannot wait until 3D FHD (full HD) TVs are mainstream, have you seen this technology? It's absolutely awesome!

    1. I've seen 2D footage converted to 3D. I was at a DLP presentation and we saw Star Wars in 3D and it was awesome. Remember - George Lucas still intends to release all 6 of his movies in 3D.

    2. When you turn a 2D image into a 3D one, its easier to create image depth than it is to create the gimmick shots.

    3. This is cost prohibitive. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it was something outrageous, like $50,000 per minute or something.

    4. Iron Man was awesome in 2D. Iron Man 2 is being shot in 2D. It will still be awesome. Fuck this noise.

    Man those 3d tickets just continue to out sell the 2d tickets of these movies. Final Destination has sold 2 3d tickets to every 1 2d ticket sold for the movie. That is how all these 3d movies have done. And remember that is with the 2d version showing on quit a few more screen than the 3d version. I don't see it running out of steam yet and this 3d wave has been going for 5 years now since polar express in 2004. The longest 3d wave ever so far. I think 3d always had an audience, they just didn't make 3d movies so how could anyone pay to see them.

    I have seen the current 3d technology. Very few have seen this technology. The public will be blown away when they see how good 2d to 3d conversion is in post. People will change their tone when they actually see the completed product.
