Message Board Topic: The Stereoscopic 3D Movie



The above 4 minute video explains how James Cameron's Stereoscopic 3D camera has changed the way 3D movies are made. After watching this video, do you think this technology is revolutionary or simply a gimick? Does this sort of movie really add to our experience as a movie-goer, or is it a gag to get us to pay more to go to movies?

  1. yes it is revolutionary because in order to make 3d you need to look 3d it also helps out with they way we see things in the real world

  2. I think that it may be both. It's going to make our movie expierences better but i think it's also going to cost more money.

  3. It is revolutionary, but I don't necessarilly like it. I wouldn't go pay more to see a 3D movie when I could see it perfectly fine in 2D. It could expand others experiences for movies, but for others like me, I just don't care.

  4. I think this technology is revolutionary in a sense. It has developed a lot and it does seem very awesome. It can be a new experience for movie goers, But it can be like:
    2d: 3.99
    3d (glasses): 5.99
    3d experience: 8.99

  5. I think it's revolutionary because there making a new way to watch 3D by how there making it. There using technology in a different way. I think it probably does add to the viewers experience because they feel like there in the movie.

  6. This adds to the movie experience. People are obviously pleased with this technology if they liked movies such as avatar.

  8. I think that the concept of the 3D camera is very natural. I like the idea of useing the human body to come up with a concept tht actualy works.

  9. i think it brings something new and different when we watch movies therefore it is revolutionary. but the money cost for going to see 3-D movies is kind of rediculious.

  12. I think the 3D technology is cool, and it's interesting that they were able to spend so much time and money to make a machine do something our eyes can already do, but then again, we've had 3D movies for centuries...they were called plays.

    Why don't we just go outside? The 3D is free.

  13. I think its something diffrent and i think people will like it alot. Who cares if you have to pay a bit more than you did before, your paying for a higher definition movie than you were before. 3D will make the movies crisper and clearer than they were before and the glasses have changed alot there no longer obnxious blues and reds

  14. i think that it is revolutionary and it is the future no matter if we like it or not. but i think they are going a little over board with all this 3D stuff. i mean first just a couple 3D movies were out but NOW.... its movies, simple point and shoot cameras, even video games now a days have figured out a way to make it look 3D with out having to use glasses. To me 3D is has

  15. I think that it is revolutionary, I like 3D movies but there so expensive. But I think they make some movies alot cool and more fun to watch.

  16. i think this thing is just to make us pay more movies cause people are fine with regular and blueray so we don't even need more stuff like that.

  17. this is cool and all but now all people have to pay extra money just to go see 3D movies when some of us dont have a choice some movies only come out in 3D. But this is old news so!

  18. i think it'd make the way of seeing movies a whole lot better. and i think it'd be a revolution if this was to happen. it'd be sick as eff(:

  19. It depends on the movie. For example, Transformers being in 3-D really didn't have much of a point to it because it didn't add to the plot or artistic stand point of the movie. Alice in Wonderland used 3-D mainly to get the audience's attention, but it also helped the artistic point of the movie. In the end, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly and "flies" over the audience's heads, which is more for the purpose of the deeper meaning than for the show of it.
