When are they going to produce some decent 3D films

The new digital screens capable of 3D seem to be getting relatively common now. How come the only stuff coming out is music concerts? Looking at 50 year old guys banging out tired material is hardly the best way to make use of the tech. I don't know, maybe Hannah Barberas norks look good coming out of the screen but I'm not sure I could sit through that kind of music either.

Apparently Beowulf was supposed to be quite good in 3D... >_>

Hmm maybe its a cost factor vs profit issue?

The cost to produce a feature film with the very expensive 3d cameras is quite high and the number of screens with digital 3d support is still not that big (granted there is one at least in every major city across the world, but how many outside them?) Beowulf didnt need to worry about this as it was an animated piece so alot of the costs/problems in filming a 3d film were vastly reduced.

Combine that with the constant back and forth debate of if cinema is dying or not and how will the film industry cope, exclusive 3D films that cannot be successfully reproduced for the home market does produce a problem when it has been shown that dvd sales are as important as cinema sales these days.


So its much more economic to create event pieces, they are cheaper to make, they have the appeal of being a unique once in a lifetime event nd they have a more consistent fanbase.

To make a film in 3D would require a vast undertaking in actual work and money that the investors would need to be garunteed a hit, Hence why alot of work has gone into trying to make it more financially acceptable. Not to mention some big names have attached themselves to the advancement of 3D cinema such as James Cameron, who has proven twice that given any sum of money he will make it back comfortable.


But personnally at the moment I dislike 3D cinema. Beowulf was shoved so far up its own arse with its *look at me I'm 3D!* bullsh*t. For the time alot of 3D productions are going to be like that, because they will be stuck in the mindset that this is a once off event film and will milk it dry.

Try watching Beowulf at home when all its 3D nonesense is gone, it really does start to become cringe worthy.


I still have hope for Avatar though.

Read there the other day all Pixar movies from 2009 onwards will be in 3D. I'd certainly go to one of those.
