Rant number 85
As it was on TV, and because its not a bad action flick. Today I am watching Avatar.
The film is bright and colourful and sharply in focus. At least - today it is.
You see, last time round when I saw Avatar, it was on the big screen, of subdued colour and was really quite out of focus.
Why?
Because it was in 3D.
Am I the only one who has noticed its actually a little bit crappy? Its always darker due to the shuttering of the glasses and its rarely in focus. I just don't get the obsession with it.
Animated films work well in 3D I will grant, but nothing with live actors actually does.
It may be my eyesight (I am slightly short-sighted, with a stigmatism in both eyes) that makes it look a bit rubbish to me, but - surely eye conditions far worse than mine exist and are very common!
I just don't get it. The novelty never wore on for me - otherwise it would have worn well off by now!
Cinema is full of these fads, a way to get bums on seats - where true class directing, writing and acting is not present. I do not accept it, and neither should you!
The results of 3D in the cinema is that I have actually stopped going so often (alongside the ridiculous prices of course,) why pay so much money to see a film out of focus, in a room full of people chittering and rustling and taking up your arm rest.
If I may also point out: It just actually isn't very good. I was expecting to feel like the actors were in the room with me, but the truth is - its just like an exaggerated depth of field. The effect just isn't that great - and it ruins my enjoyment.
With any luck, they may get rid of this fad soon - but doubtless will come up with something else pointless. God knows what!
Rant over.
