The Amazing Spider-Man SONY stops paying for 3D glasses...what does this mean?

[chaseter]

Glasses today are not what glasses were in the 60s-80s. Glasses are actually cool now. People that don't even need to wear glasses wear them. The nerd is cool now. It's one of the reasons why the hipster look has become so popular.

 

[Spiderman6592]

Precisely^^

 

[hame4479]

its funny this wouldn't be a problem for any one if theater goers were allowed to keep and reuse the glasses that they are given for realD flicks. But I guess thats just too practical and simple a solution. I mean how are those companies that make millions off selling those glasses gonna keep making all the money that they get from such a wasteful policy, regardless of whether they are recycled or not.

 

[hame4479]

It was shot in 3D...so you would be an idiot if you didn't see it in 3D. THAT, or 3D just hurts your eyes. I'm seeing it in IMAX 3D. OH NO! MY MONEY!!!

Exactly, any movie actually shot in the format and planned for it from day 1 is probably definately going to be worth the extra dollars. Avatar, tron, and transformers are great examples of what the format is capable of if utilized correctly.

Chaseter, grow up

Aren't 3D movie ticket prices inflated anyways?

Here in the UK we pay about £7 (price of a 3D movie, regular movie prices are around £5) and on top of that 80p for 3D glasses.

The good thing is, you can re-use them.

I probably did because as I said, you contribute nothing but acute negativity, and inexplicable assumptions (IE: Sony must not want to pay for 3D glasses because they don't have faith in the movie).

To answer your question, they are likely doing it because of the rapidly declining 3D sales. Less and less people are seeing films in 3D and they could potentially be worried about the movie's 3D sales. If 3D movies continue to be as ****** as they are, that means that that 3D audience is only to get smaller and smaller by the time TASM rolls around. I wouldn't call it a lack of faith in the product so much as a lack of faith in the 3D market.

That's what he does. No surprises there.

And I think you're right with that last part as well.

Hahahahahaha you made my day!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

They're useless once the good stuff starts happening, that's what makes them iconic!

This is true, if you ask me.

 

[spideyguy16]

Im watching it in 3D then walking back into the theater and watch it again in either 3D or 2D which ever i prefer:b then ill go back and watch it with somebody

 

[Oscorp]

I won't watch it in 3D anyway. I still prefer watching movies in the good old way without glasses.

 

[Troy_Parker]

This is just my opinion, of course.

But by not seeing a movie that was shot in 3D in the highest possible resolution available to you (IMAX)...you're missing out.

Now, converted 2.5D movies? Meh. Watch them in 2D. I've yet to see a converted 3D movie that...y'know, actually has good 3D effects.

 

[Oscorp]

^Hmm that is actually true. I might give the 3D a chance with this one afterall

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'll be seeing it in 3D, but tbh, I still perfer 2D.

 

[Oscorp]

^Yeah I'll give it a chance afterall, but so far, 3D films haven't impressed me much.

 

[Spiderman6592]

As I said earlier, this is why you haven't been impressed:

For those of you who have seen Avatar in 3D, wouldn't you rather watch it like that, than in standard definition? That's what 3D is capable of and the above article points out why 3D is being held back. Studios shouldn't be allowed to do what they do in post conversion. It's ****ing stupid and gives 3D a bad rep. For those who don't know, TASM will be Avatar quality 3D.

 

[Aluchak]

I absolutely hate Avatar and James Camerons delusions that 3D is anything but a gimmick, but I'll probably see this one in 3D and encourage others to, simply because I want the movie to do well.

 

[Spiderman6592]

But the thing is, if it's done right and with care, it isn't a gimmick. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Post conversion makes it a gimmick but if you spend the time and money necessary to do it right, it really isn't. It's an amazing and immersive experience.

 

[spidey99]

um, these the same 3D glasses that I have in the drawer here from the last 2 or 3 3D movies that the wife and I seen? So bringing these in will save me 2 or 3 bucks? Still a crazy thing for Sony to do. But I myself think I'd rather see the Spidey flick in 2D first, so I can enjoy the movie. Then maybe go see it again in 3D some other day. Or wait till the 3D Blu-Ray comes out. Yeah, got a Samsung 3D tv with four pairs of glasses, and use the ps3 to play blu-rays and 3D discs.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Are they those RealD ones with dark tinted lenses? If so, yes. But that'll only work with the regular 3D showing. Not the IMAX one.

Tbh, IMO, 3D dosn't make a movie better. Can it be good? Yes, but it's not needed.

 

[Troy_Parker]

It can enhance an experience.

The thing I like (from what little I've seen) is that the scenes made for 3D, work in 2D as well. It doesn't feel like you're missing out.

Same with Avatar.

 

[Godzilla2014]

I usually don't see movies in 3D anyway.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Nice.

I've started doing that recently for all converted 3D movies.

 

[VenomSpawn]

I haven't seen the trailer for this in 3D, but from what I heard it was pretty great. That makes me feel that (hopefully) my money won't be wasted when I see it in 3D.

That doesn't make it a gimmick. And to be honest, yes, 3D can make a movie bette. It makes it an experience. Watching Avatar in 3D vs 2D is like watching two different movies. I haven't seen Avatar outside of the theaters because I can't get that 3D experience. So yes, it can make a movie better and more immersive as long as it isn't post converted ****.
