Today the biggest thing to hit the screens was Avatar by James Cammeron. That movie was a huge mainly because of the effects and awesome colorful plant life and how they looked in Imax 3D.
3D is a huge change to movies and how people view them. So what will this do to the movie industry? Classic movies like ‘The Notebook’ and ‘Titanic’ have nothing to offer to 3D. They are just love movies and 3D won’t add much to the experience at all. 3D will destroy movies like these.
If the movie is lacking in huge explosions or colorful fake scenery, 3D will have nothing to do with it. No one wants to pay an extra three dollars a ticket to see a movie in 3D that doesn’t look much different than if you watched it in normal 2D.
Also with a movie that does have an awesome array of high tech explosions and imaginary planets, people will buy the movie take it home and realize that there was nothing else besides those elements that made the movie interesting in the first place. Like most action movies, they lack story or plot and when viewers take the movies home they notice the only reason they liked the movie in the first place was the visual effects.
Although they are coming out with T.Vs that offer the 3D experience, it will never be the same without the giant lifelike screen that the movie theatres have. Plus if you loose the glasses you’re ‘S.O.L.’ Even though you can install surround sound, it only adds to the soundtrack not the viewing experience.
3D changed the face of comic books and now it’s moved up through to movies. The effect it could have in the movie industry could be profound. It could possibly heighten the popularity for horror and action films and completely destroy the romance and drama movies.
Like technology people always go for the newest coolest thing out there and 3D is it for the movie industry. So in the future will every movie be made in 3D, action or not, or will only the coolest of coolest movies get the privilege of being in 3D?
