Jurassic Park 3D
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:50 pm
After swearing off 3D movies for all time (seriously, I'm about to buy some 2D Glasses for when the good theaters with digital projectors are all doing nothing but 3D.) they decided to do Jurassic Park in 3D. *UGH* I have yet to see a 3D movie where I felt the 3D effect added ANYTHING but another $3 to the price for glasses I don't even get to keep. Then you have issues with glasses being scratched, foggy, or just gross. Even when it does work you have to keep your head level or everything starts getting fuzzy. No, no, fuck your 3D. It's just a way to stick us for a bit more money at the box office.
Movies not shot in 3D should not be made into 3D. Even Jurassic Park. Movies shot in 3D at least have a realistic depth to them. Movies in 2D, not so much. You get the cardboard cutout effect. Rather than a smooth perception of depth things have very definite depth level. A human in profile is at least a foot wide, usually more. Well when you post-convert that 12 to 18 inch wide human is now perfectly flat. They might feel like they're five feet from something else but they are perfectly flat, in front of a flat background, with other flat things talking to them. Then there's the fuzziness of fast moving objects, things going out of focus, and of course just the fact that it's not made for 3D. Perfect example, the Dilophosaurus? Spits it's venom AWAY from you. If it was shot in 3D the venom would have come at you, but it was never meant to be 3D. It fucking sucks, it's a money grab. But it's Jurassic Park, in IMAX.
So yeah, after shitting all over 3D movies, especially post conversions, I went and saw it anyways. It's Jurassic Park on a screen the size of of an apartment building. There are somethings I will compromise my morals for.
The movies, well it's Jurassic Park. There's no moment where I'm not being entertained or enjoying myself. It's an awesome movie. It was worth it.
The 3D was... better than average for a post conversion, but it's still post conversion 3D. There are some points in time where the cardboard cutout effect is hilariously pronounced. Seriously, the amber mine. Two guys right in the foreground and nothing behind them but a distant background. They shouldn't have touched it and just left it 2D. And so much of the movie just isn't good for 3D and then sometimes they must have felt they needed to emphasize that it was 3D so they hyper pronounced somethings like foreground leaves and vines. On the whole, it's Jurassic Park so it's awesome, just accept that the 3D is gonna kinda be pointless and or suck balls.
Or just get some 2D Glasses.
