I remember the tip of a Star Destroyer popping out well in TFA (saw it 3D simply because it was earlier than the 2D show… and souvenir glasses).
Yeah there’s that one shot
because of the telephoto lens you don’t think much of in 2D but in 3D it looks like the tip is going to stab you in the eye. I remember gasps in the theater when I saw that shot in 3D.
it is things like this (and what i derisively call gimmicks) that make me dislike 3D films. I feel like it makes the whole movie viewing experience take on a ‘wrong’ perspective to have parts of the screen come out at you. added depth i am OK with, but not the other way.
You wouldn’t have enjoyed the 50’s 3D wave very much then. 😉
And everything from color to sound to widescreen has been dismissed as gimmicks. And the wheel has turned such that when the rare black and white or 1.33 aspect film is made, it’s scoffed as a gimmick now.
😃 yeah, i am fully aware that my calling it a gimmick probably make me old and grumpy (that is why i tried to acknowledge that it is me being derisive when i say it). but gosh darn it, i knows what i likes. and what i don’ts.
