3D Must Die

Forbes: “Innovation will happen with or without 3D film, and in some pretty important ways I think that 3D is actually an impediment to true innovation in film and film technology, crowding out true experimentation in favor of a one-trick-pony.”

3D really needs to die. It is nothing more than a gadget aimed at raising prices.

Look, I’d pay more for a great 2D film than a crummy 3D film any day. It’s not like “Sharks 3D” is worth seeing, right?

3D Headache?

Roger Ebert : “So: dark, small, stroby, headache inducing, alienating. And expensive. The question is: how long will it take people to realize and get fed up?”

That quote is from Walter Murch. A guy that knows a thing, or two, about film making. Go read the article for the full details.

I’m not a fan of the current 3D film craze so I hope it goes away soon. If it doesn’t, fair enough. I just hope people continue to make films that can rely on story and characters and not cheap tricks to draw an audience.
