When a filmmaker creates specifically for 3D or is deeply involved in a 3D conversion, there are few mediums as immersive and visually arresting. “We work painstakingly with filmmakers to bring their creative visions to life with the utmost fidelity through the IMAX Experience.
ITHEATER CINEMA 3D CRACKED
Large-screen passive 4K OLED TV solved the early problems of 3D in the home – and just as that nut was cracked – they stopped creating 3D TVs – and now just as IMAX 3D with Laser becomes the natural home for cinematic 3D – they seem to have closed the door on it too.įollowing publication an IMAX spokesman sent me the following statement, which I am happy to publish here. Projection-based home cinema is ideal for 3D and having just completed my own home cinema project I feel quite aggrieved that the releases are now drying up. It will also have a knock-on effect on home releases, and many Blu-Ray 3D discs were still being produced. While the glasses are always cleaned between performances perhaps the thought of donning something that other punters had worn would put people off when the need to get bums on seats is greater than ever. Possibly it’s Covid that has dealt the final death knell over here. I would argue that 3D IMAX showings should only be should in IMAX theatres with high brightness laser projectors – but that would mean they would have to create a tiered system that would disadvantage the non-laser theatres – a distinction it would probably not like to draw too much attention to. Certain regions are still getting 3D versions, such as IMAX Melbourne, but in the UK and the US we are not being afforded that luxury. It’s not as if IMAX 3D versions aren’t being made at all.
ITHEATER CINEMA 3D MOVIE
There were certain sequences in Shang-Chi I felt would have looked great in 3D, (the water melting away from the lock for instance), and indeed a stereoscopic version of the movie was created, but the option for me to see it is no longer there. The problem with this is that it’s reducing 3D to a novelty theme park, level of entertainment – which I think is unfair. There is one place that 3D can still be seen – and that’s 4DX – the system where the seats move around and punch you in the back, lights flash and air is blasted into your face. Black Widow arrived in the UK in 2D IMAX only, and now the same has happened for Shang-Chi. That option seems though to have been taken away. This didn’t bother me, and the only place I would watch 3D anyway was in an IMAX, or theoretically in a Dolby Cinema (I’ve only ever seen one film in that format). Somehow it seems that 3D movies were priced higher, which never seem fair to me, especially when people were already paying a premium price for an IMAX experience.Ĭertainly, the public appetite for 3D waned, and where one it was nigh on impossible to find a 2D screening, it was 3D showings that became the exception. I would agree that ticket prices were an issue. This means a movie converted into 3D was not a problem. Latterly, however, directors were taking the time to oversee the 3D conversions, while the technical people got better at handling the software. This wasn’t done with most 3D movies, and the 3D effect was instead usually done by a quick and dirty conversion that produced some bad results which put people off the format. IMAX 3D however, was always a pleasure, and I found that 3D naysayers were always presently surprised.ģD was re-introduced to modern cinema by James Cameron’s Avatar back in 2009, but this was a movie designed from the ground up with 3D in mind. This bold expedition is an inspiring reminder that there is still much left to explore on this planet and that we learn exciting things when we push our human boundaries.ĭeepSea Combo: Add a DeepSea Challenge 3D movie ticket to any regularly priced Challenging the Deep special exhibition purchase for just $3.īuy Combo Ticket.However, while IMAX is popular most people will still have experienced 3D on a regular screen, and I would agree that it was always disappointing and I would not choose to see a film in 3D in this way. Spectacular 3D effects capture the exhilaration of exploration in the haunting, lunar-like landscape of the Mariana Trench and the bizarre, alien-like sea creatures Cameron observes in the ocean depths, from gelatinous holothurians to shrimp-like amphipods. The film chronicles Cameron’s solo dive to the depths of the Mariana Trench - nearly seven miles beneath the ocean’s surface - piloting a submersible he co-designed and co-engineered. “James Cameron’s DeepSea Challenge 3D” is the dramatic fulfillment of that dream. As a boy, filmmaker James Cameron dreamed of a journey - to the deepest part of the ocean.
