The Dark Knight Rises I'd Like Batman 3 To Be In 3D

I don't want to sit around for 140-150 minutes with those glasses on. I don't know how long "A Christmas Carol" was, but I was ready to chuck those glasses after the wow factor wore off around halfway through the film.

3D Batman = bad idea

Thing is about 3D films is that it's really an added bonus to the label to see it in the 3D, they'll always be the 2D version about so I don't see the big uproar. However I feel something like spiderman would benefit more from the 3D gimmick more than Nolan ultra realistic vision.
 
Just got back from seeing Avatar, and all I can say is WOW. That was probably the most immersive and breathtaking experiences I've ever had, and it was all thanks to the new 3D technology. It adds an entirely new dynamic. I want to see every movie filmed like this from now on.

Batman 3 by christopher nolan in 3D would be incredible, and he's the kind of director that would tackle that kind of project.

I can see an interest in the technology of Avatar leading to an increased interest for nolan in filming batman 3. Seeing the first movie ever entirely filmed in 3D and imax being a batman movie would be unbelievable.

Go see avatar nolan!


Big difference. Cameron isn't using 3D as a gimmick but if Nolan used 3D it would be.
 
I saw Avatar and I think that, as a film, it needs 3D, because without it it's a pretty dumb film. In a movie as TDK it would be a great distraction of what is actually happening in the story, IMO.

Agreed. Making it 3D would be an annoyance, and not add anything to the film.
 
I'm not completely opposed to 3D movies, but Batman doesn't need it, IMO.

I disagree. Espeically if its like Avatar, its fine. It all blends well if the whole film is 3D and not just bits and pieces.

How so? The story wasnt the best story ever, but it was fine.
 
If the Green Lantern film and the next Batman can be formatted into 3D in post production to be shown in IMAX 3D and in regular 3D......than I have no problems with that! :wow:
 
This new 3-D technology would make any film better, no matter what the genre is. It creates a more involving, immersive film environment, period. Name any film - The Godfather, Jaws, Psycho, Casablanca, Animal House, doesn't matter - all would deliver a more satisfying theater experience in this format. I really don't get the notion that Nolan would reject 3-D because he is old-fashioned; if that were the case, why would he pioneer the use of IMAX camera technology? He may be old-fashioned in terms of how he believes the elements of film should be put together by a director, in terms of casting, plot, character arcs, lighting, shot composition, and the like, but not about technology. I recently saw Avatar in the 3-D IMAX format; I'm 53 years old, and have been going to first-run movies in theaters since 1962, and I was blown away - not necessarily by the story, but by the experience. Would I love a Nolan Batman film shot in this format? Hell yeah.

You have got to be ****ing kidding me.
 
God, I hope it is. After Avatar, I'm never watching a movie in 2D again.

3D is a gimmick, a piece of technology to assist the director's vision of the story he's trying to tell. Taking Casablanca or The Godfather and turning it into 3D is BLASPHEMY. It won't make these films any better, it'll distract viewers from the movie, not draws them in. Especially since these films weren't shot for 3D. Like many have pointed out, the technology is still new and has many drawbacks, viewing angles, cutout 2d effect, these things are mad distracting. 3D is the new, once the hype levels out a bit, ppl will lose interest in it, and it'll be like CG is now. Something to enhance a story, or be used for Bayformers movies. Also the IMAX 'shot' movies are MUCH more immerse w/o the distraction that 3D can create. Plus it actually fills the entire IMAX screen. The resolution is way higher too. THAT'S why I hope Nolan will shoot parts of Inception in 65/70mm film because it looks awesome on a giant screen. I don't wanna knock down 3D but just because AVATAR made 2billion bo, doesn't justify turning every ****ing movie ever into 3D. **** that!
 
I would rather Nolan shoot in IMAX again than with Cameron's 3D technology. The only thing that made Avatar interesting was the 3D gimmick. That's what it is: a gimmick. The story was weak, the characters uninteresting, the dialogue cheesy, etc...the visuals fantastic, but after wearing the glasses for 3 hours, it's a pain in the a$$! I don't like the distraction.

On the true IMAX screen, the scenes of TDK shot in that format were far more breathtaking and immersive than anything I felt with Avatar. Wearing the glasses, you still feel the gimmick of 3D...
 
Let's hope if for some reason Nolan does goes with 3-D, Batman 3's story isn't as downright terrible as Avatar's.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it's done in 3-D. Avatar has revolutionized the concept and Im sure other films will follow suit.
 
I want to see Batman 3 filmed entirely in Imax rather than 3D. I think that will work better for batman.
 
I agree. I love IMAX, but I could take-or-leave the 3D. Avatar was the only time 3D didn't bother me actually, but I think a lot of that had to do with the nature of the movie (being on another planet with all sorts of things "floating" around, lots of lingering shots just focusing on the beauty of the environment, etc). I don't think the world of Gotham city would be enhanced enough for the 3D to actually be worth it.

I think the trick for using 3-D correctly is by not doing any cheap shots or overdo it, like for example, Batman grabs a stick and starts swinging it around for a cheap 3-D scene moment. That's why 3-D worked so well with Avatar. It was done in a balanced way.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to vote "no" on this one.

GL, Superman, Flash, Wonderwoman - sure. Have at it. But Batman, especially this series? No thanks.

I may have allowed it in the previous franchise but not this one. Nolan's films are more indy than studio-ish. Cameron is a studio boy on the blockbusters. He plays by Studio rules. Not saying he always does that, but on the biggies - he does. Nolan always has that real life grit.

Not to mention Nolan hates CGI. And I love him for that.

I wouldn't say he hates CGI as much as he hates abuse/over reliance on CGI. There is a lot of CG effects in TDK, but most of them are very subtle and so well done that they don't stick out. But I agree, it's an excellent directorial trait.
 
I'd rather see "Batman 3" filmed entirely with the IMAX cameras before 3D, frankly.

If it just gets the same treatment as "TDK" with exterior shots and key sequences filmed in IMAX, I'll be fine with that.

Yep. Gimme IMAX instead of 3D. :woot:
 
The Imax sequences in TDK blew me away more than any of the avatar 3d effects.
