3D TV

[ajmrowland]

Advertisers are just full of bs. Pioneer even has a "four-color" tv.

That doesn't make sense, because humans can only see 3 native colors-RGB- and to add yellow only means they're doubling the amount of Green and Blue and combining them.

*facepalm*

That commercial is hilarious. "Woah! Ohhhhh myyyyyy..."

Anyway I don't think the 3D thing is going to hold up, just like it hasn't held up in past decades.

As far as not liking a 3D movie... Another one of my friends also told me how distracting Alice was in 3D when he saw it with his wife, and he plans to see Clash of the Titans in 2D. However everyone I've talked to said Avatar was good in 3D (although some complained of headaches).

I think most people I've talked with think 3D is a gimmick, thats nice when it works (Avatar), but its not something they want for their home.

wait.........blue and yellow makes green. Oh, my bad.

It's still bogus.

I think they are going a little to fast releasing 3D TVs. I am fine with my HDTV and will probably never invest in a 3DTV (At least until they get all the bugs worked out, which will probably be never).

Actually it was the idea of things coming at me that I don't like. I was fully aware that "Alice" was not originally 3D and was rather flat for what it could have been. Even that much ticked me off. I personally feel having crap flay at me takes away from my enjoyment of the story. That's why such tech is better left at amusement park attractions where the story isn't that important.

Thats kinda what Im getting at actually; proper 3d movies dont come out at you at all. Instead the background pushes away. the forground stays more or less where the screen is. like a window.

I agree that the type of the 3d your talking about is a strain on the eyes and should be left at the theme parks. Ice age for example, that thing gaveme head aches because they tried to make the movie happen right in front of your face. I avoid that whenever possible.

UP, the Toy Stories, Avatar did not do it this way.

I have not see any Pixar films in 3D. While I would not see "Toy Story 3" for the first time in 3D, I may consider to give this format one more try and see it in 3D for my second or 3rd. But for now, I'm skeptical and don't much care for how much they charge to see it this way either.

Pixar's 3D is an odd thing, as they treat it like every other visual technique.

Anyway, 3D is for the most part decent in recent films. Monsters vs. Aliens only had one come-out-at-you visual gag, and the rest I've seen had little to none.

As much as I like 3D, I too will be going that route with Toy Story 3. I cant deny that the tint you have to deal with is annoying to have to deal with, and sometimes a random brick in a wall might distract you from whats happening in the scene. (had that happen for me in meet the Robinson's)

With most movies I don't mind seeing the 3D first, maybe even skip the 2d altogether until blu ray release, but I'm making an exception for TS3. I feel like I should experience it as if it were coming out right after TS2. so they fit together better. but once I see it in 2D I'll be heading off to see it in IMAX 3D. should be pretty awesome.

As for the prices, I cant really fault anyone there. especially with the 4% increase I hear they have gotten over the last week. they need to be coming down, not inflating.
