Gravity 3D or 2D?

ncmc

I know there is a thread about Gravity already, but there's 300+ comments, so I thought this queury might get lost!

Going to see it in the Omniplex in Mahon this evening, and the time of the 2D showing suits slightly better. But am wondering if it is a movie better viewed in 3D?

As Hamlet said ""To 3D or not to 3D, that is the question"

See it in 3D is the general consensus

I think the general consensus is that it depends on the kind of 3D projector/screen your cinema has. If it has a good one, then watch it in 3D, if it doesn't, then in 2D.

I saw it in 3D and absolutely loved it. Think in a few weeks time, when my memory of it is more vague, I'll go see it in 2D.

It's a grand film. 3d makes it more visually stunning.

Cool, thanks guys, 3D it is so. Sometimes it can be hard to know, I've been to some movies where the 3D experience added nothing if not actually disimproved it and then others, the 3D made it.

The trailer for this did absolutely nothing for me. Sandra bullock screaming in space summed it up for me.

It's not something I would normally go for, but the reviews seem almost universally positive so thought I'd give it a go. Another thing that swung it is that it's only 90 mins. I was keen to see Captain Phillips, but it doesn't start til 21:15 and is 134 mins long. At the risk of sounding like an oul one, my husband has to be up early for work and that's too late for us!

anyone know if the gate cinema cork is considered a good 3d projector? I HATE watching films in 3d, too dark and cant make out action scenes clearly, but if its a film genuinely better experienced in 3d i'm willing to give it a go. Seems the gate cinemas are now digital, they are better than omniplex?

Mahon Point Screen 2 is by far and away the best screen in the county for 2D or 3D. It's a brand new large digital screen, plenty of legroom, rocking seats and in another league to anywhere else until the neighbouring screen 1 opens. The gate also has annoyingly bright exit lights in some of the screens too that are positioned too close to the screen that cast a glow across the side of it.

... and is gravity 3D being shown in screen 2 in Mahon????


Just checked it is

Deco, saw it in 3D on screen 2 in Mahon last night. The 3D was incredible. It's been a couple of years since I saw a movie in 3D and I can't believe how much the technology has come on. Also they have these amazingly comfy rocking seats, all in all a top notch cinema experience.

I thought the movie was only ok. To answer my own OP. I don't think it's worth seeing in 2D. The strongest part of the movie for me was the 3D effects.
