Paul and I went to see The Last Airbender in *cough* 3D and I was very disappointed with this movie and any other movie that claims to be in 3D. 

If a movie is going to claim to be in 3D it must be shot in native 3D not this fake 2D/3D conversion crap.  The Last Airbender could have been in the top 5 3D films of 2010 IF it was a real 3D movie.  The images in this film were so flat and weak it was like watching a 2D film with 3D glasses on – totally pointless.

The Last Airbender had all the elements (no, pun intended) to make a perfect 3D movie. I would even go out on a limb to say that the Last Airbender would have given James Cameron’s Avatar a run for its money… that is if the Last Airbender was a real 3D movie.

DO NOT PAY MONEY TO SEE THIS FILM IN 3D!

If you are going to see this movie save your cash and see the 2D version of the movie or download it.  If you are a 3D movie fan – I recommend boycotting this movie and any other 2D/3D conversion movie.  The studios must learn that pawning off half assed fake 3D movies and charging more money for it will not fly. We, the ticket buyers, must send them a message that we don’t like being screwed.
The studios will kill modern 3D if they keep pumping out crap like the fake 3D Clash of the Titans and the Last Airbender but even worse is that they will turn off potential viewers/movie watchers.

When I was walking out of The Last Airbenders people were not talking about how great the effects were and how wonderful the story was – they only talked about how CRAPPY the 3D was.  I always thought that the goal of the studios was to get people to talk about how amazing the film was and to get people back in the theater seats to see the movie again.  With this fake 3D the studios have failed the viewers and themselves.

The studios know that they are pumping out fake 3D movies and they don’t seem to care, well, at least here in the States.  3DmovieMan pointed out to me that SKY (UK TV) will air 3D movies but only under strict rules.  They will not air a film if it is a 2D/3D conversion – meaning if the film has more more than 2- 5 percent conversion then they will not air it.  They understand that the conversion does not work and fans do NOT like it.

Something needs to be done soon before they kill 3D.

You have lost your way Hollywood and you will soon lose a lot of fans…

and in 3D!

I was happy to hear that Clash of the Titans will be converted to 3D and the excitement grew when I saw these two Tv spots that aired during the Winter Olympics.

When you watch these trailers think 3D.

I just watched the trailer for the remake of Clash of the Titans and OMG!!! it looks amazing!

I loved the original film and when I heard that they were doing a remake I was very sad….until I saw this trailer  Side note: I don’t know what to think of the rock opera soundtrack – yet – I will make up my mind when I see more.

Let me know what you think…
