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

[bkey]

God I hope not. Hopefully the 3D craze will have worn off a bit by the time BB3 comes around.

i just want a third film......i couldn't care less what format it comes in at this point, so long as we get one.

but gun to my head, i'd plump for the usual format plus further IMAX camera work.

3D seems like a distraction for me, a gimmick. hence avatar's success

I'd like for Batman 3 to be released in standard 2D, along with 3D and IMAX, that way it can destroy Avatar at the box-office.

Not subtle enough.

Nolan's universe brings nothing else in 3D. Avatar was set in a fictional Utopia type place. The idea of 3D for that type of movie works. Alice and Wonderland in 3D works. Nolan's Batman in 3D does not.


If it wasn't for the 3D and Special Effects, AVATAR would have failed. The plot is weak and the writing is downright pathetic. James Cameron will always be a glorified Special Effects Genius to me, nothing more. Lets get some substance. Nolan has great stories, great characters, great writing(aside from the two chase scenes, the police dialogue, yuck). He doesn't need 3D to put butts in the seats.

I really don't see the point of 3D. I'm always going to watch movies in 2D...I hope.

 

[Indrid Cold]

3-D? Naaaaa give me a good story any day.

 

[Mr. Earle]

3-D? Naaaaa give me a good story any day.

Why? Is it one OR the other?

Home run!!

Can always count on Mr. Earle to show up with the common sense pill that everyone else forgot to take.

Thanks! t:

I am not suggesting we go back and retro-fit 3-D technology into The Godfather; I'm trying to suggest that this technology would make any film more involving and immersive, purely on a visual level.

In Avatar, 3-D wasn't a distraction at all. That's like saying your own vision is a distraction from the way you see the world. That's the point I'm trying to make - it is the closest approximation of the way we see the real world that cinema has presented so far. Of course Nolan would use it wisely; even in Avatar, it wasn't used for gratuitous effects, things flying out of the screen at you, etc. - the effect was more of providing a depth to the images on the screen. It has nothing to do with the subject matter of the film - in the case of something like Batman, it would be the difference between looking at a shot of a dark alley on the screen, or actually looking down that dark alley. Imagine the scene in TDK where Bruce jumps off of the building in Hong Kong; now imagine jumping off with him. That's what I'm talking about.

I personally don't think Nolan would go with it, he used IMAX as a way to enhance the story to show the grand scale of chaos. When you saw the IMAX sequences you felt completely immersed into the not just the film but the world. If Nolan were to do anything he'd shoot the entire movie in IMAX besides 3D makes the picture darker and Chris is very distinctive about the lighting.

I adore this. Anyone who isn't convinced that 3D would be brilliant for Batman after reading that clearly has issues.

As a Batfan, I have no problem having issues.

 

[Sentinel X]

No...not every film has to be 3D. That would just be pointless imo. Keep it in 2D. Batman is not a visual spectacle...people watched BB and TDK for the plot, interesting characters, suspense, and action.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

The Dark Knight was quite the visual spectacle though.

 

[batman_gr]

Just got back from Avatar 3D and apart from the fact that it's not helping the plot at all ( yeah I know Pandora looks nice) it's also very distracting. Keep it away from Batman. IMAX is really good enough.

And btw, Avatar sucked big time. No acting, no story, no character build-up. I'm starting to thing that Cameron is similar to Uwe Boll (spell) with a very respectable budget.

 

[Crook]

Haha, never mind that Cameron has time and time again pioneered cinema to new technical heights, or that despite opinions on his writing, the man is a brilliant director. Let's just stick him there with one of the most hated directors in Hollywood.

Anyway, 3D is pointless this time around. Nolan has already expressed his indifference towards it, and I don't really think much would be gained from his particular artistic style.

I just hope the rumour AICN talked about that Nolan has asked an IMAX camera that isn't so heavy and noisy to be true. Filming Batman 3 with 100% IMAX format would be totally awesome.

 

[General_Obol]

IMAX, yes, but no to 3D. I can't stand the 3D fad...it's just a cheap way to make more money.

 

[Crook]

And what's IMAX?

Except for those of us who don't have an IMAX screen.

And the closest one being 200 miles and 4 hours away.

 

[Crook]

What's the problem then? You were never going to see it in IMAX, and you still have the 2D version either way.

 

[Mr. Earle]

We re just bitter and jealous. Either build IMAX theatres everywhere, or nobody can have it!

Yeah but even the Blu-ray quality is amazing and so on. >: ( Think positively my friend!
