Ahh!! Technology in film, a corporate exercise at attracting consumers to cinema screens. For two and a half years, I have been pulled right in front of a cinema screen and had some or most of cinematic experiences ruined by vast capitalist corparations earning money through the use of the most criminal crime ever introduced to Cinema, 3-D. That's right 3-D, a horrible, indulgent and consumerist idea that somehow if we have objects or people popping out of our screens, we will somehow say "oohh that's so clever, that's so brilliant and creative and we must do this more often". Well you know what, I think it can go to hell as far as I'm concerned because of the sole reason that it does not work. A few years ago I went to a see a new art house blcokbuster known as Avatar (2009). Now back then everyone was nagging about how Cinema has been the same thing all the time, just a normal screen with THX surround sound with no actual excitment. So after that Avatar became all the rave after jumpstarting 3-D which had only been mildly used in the mid 2000's. Now funny thing is when I saw Avatar (Brilliant film by the way), I commented on the 3-D by saying to my friend, "Is that it, Is that all it was". I have no distaste for 1080p use of camera in a cinema, but 3-D is a fraud and must be stopped. Ever since Avatar has been released, directors of mainstream blockbuster films have foolishly put 3-D into good films such as Captain America: The First Avenger and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (Both 2011). It has been lambasted by critics and small audiences around the world but there are some who feel more excited with its use, but it will hopefully in time, cease to exist.
Thank you and stay tuned.
