Positive things about 3-D: - Combats piracy because you cannot download it. Nowadays you can easily download movies and people prefer to download it than go to the cinema and pay. “Studios are desperate for 3D to work, as are cinemas. They feel embattled at the moment. They've seen falling DVD and ticket sales, and while their audiences aren't disappearing.”- Matt Bochenski, Editor, Littlewhitelies.co.uk - They get a lot of money from producing the films because they make people pay extra for the films as well as the glasses. “Avatar is the highest selling film and it was in 3-D. “James Cameron's Avatar, the biggest box-office draw in history, is up for nine Oscars at tonight's Academy Awards.” -Akin Ojumu, Film editor, the Observer - Excitement: it is a different experience to the audience because it adds excitement to the film, which is really good for the audience. “3D has completely changed the manner in which people view movies and it is for this reason that the implications spread beyond the entertainment aspect”- (http://www.3dmoviesfinder.com) - Revolutionises technology because it is something new and may be the next best technology in film, it actually makes the audience feel as if they were part of the film. (Another string to the 3D bow is that there is the potential to take audiences into the reality on the screen. I recently watched a 3D horror movie and people were jumping in their seats and grabbing in the air. There was a fun, social energy in the auditorium; one that I have never experienced with a 2D movie.) ( http://www.fuelyourmotionography.com) - The older generation are getting seduced with their favourite movies being brought back to life in 3-D, with films such as the Star Wars saga and Dirty Dancing. Negative things about 3-D: - Some people find that the 3-D movies may hurt their eyes or it may make them get motion sickness. “Some movie-goers have experienced motion sickness during a 3D movie”-( http://www.fuelyourmotionography.com) - The excitement seems only last in the theatres, and it is mainly made just for the cinemas because the excitement will not be there at home due to lack of equipment. “I recently watched Journey to the Centre of the Earth in 3D at home and it didn’t quite work; not for me anyhow. My TV is of average size, and the 3D effects simply did not translate well.”- ( http://www.fuelyourmotionography.com) - Usually the options when it comes to making 3-D are limited, they are repetitive when it comes to the use of Genre’s that actually incorporate 3-D, which after a short while is starts to make the film’s a bit tedious “The majority of 2009’s 3D releases fall into the category of animation, placed alongside a few horror movies thrown in for cheap thrills “-( http://www.fuelyourmotionography.com) - The hardware for making 3-D is so expensive, so is the hardware for previewing it and also the films are so much expensive. “Theatres have been able to charge more for tickets to 3D screenings, which has helped them in offsetting the exorbitant cost of upgrading their projection hardware”- (http://technmarketing.com) - The technology is not being used to the best of it’s ability or being utilized by the companies well. “In all of the 3D movies that you've seen, have you felt that ANY of them have really taken advantage of the technology? If you say yes, you're a liar. The only film that's even come close is Avatar and 3D has been around since 1939. It took 71 years for one movie to do it right.”( http://www.cinemablend.com)
