Around Os...It is amazing how quickly things change. Around Oscar time 6 months ago the talk was all about 3D film and how it was future. And I was on the bandwagon and all for 3D if, as Cameron has openly argued, it is done right. <br /><br />Since Avatar though there has been a slew of half hearted, money grabbing, "3D" films (cough... Clash of the Titans) and now there is less talk of 3D as the future of film and more talk of it being just plain gimicky. We have taken a step backwards, back to "Jaws 3D" territory!<br /><br />I stand by Avatar and the visual spectacle it created but in hindsight I am especially glad that The Hurt Locker won because I'm starting to think that 3D films should have stayed dead and that Cameron has created a monster. <br /><br />In short, I agree with your concern...StudyCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949081103439153228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446455819082045873.post-15689567337511229602010-09-21T06:00:26.376-05:002010-09-21T06:00:26.376-05:00"And perhaps that is why The Hurt Locker dese..."And perhaps that is why The Hurt Locker deserved the glory, because it managed to be just as engrossing a film without relying on CGI, IMAX cameras, or the use of 3D!"<br /><br />Exactly. I'm really concerned about the sheer volume of 3-D films coming out now and I'm finding myself saying (at the ripe old age of 22) that they don't make films like they used to. I'm watching more indies lately for their simplicity. Clerks, In Search of a Midnight Kiss, The Station Agent - a lot can be achieved on a low budget and I think it's a shame that these films aren't getting the audience figures they deserve because the world is obsessed with CGI and 3-Dfilmgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04608736874666418357noreply@blogger.com
