Oh no … 3D …
I hope it doesn’t suck. I’ve really loved the sense of scale in the 2014 Godzilla-movie by Gareth Edwards. I hope they don’t cheapen the aestethic any more
Apple works hard to make sure they don’t seem cheap. Their content has been top notch. But it can be really easy for 3D to make a movie worse. I think you’re right to be nervous.
I’m inclined to think 3D makes movies worse because it’s only typically used for gimmicky effects partially limited by the active/passive glasses. When you’re wearing a full visor and your entire field of vision is essentially “generated”, the illusion of 3D should become much more immersive than what could be offered by a red/blue or active shutter glasses.
It makes sense that this could be really cool. But when it’s rendered for 2D screens it still needs to look great and not feel gimmicky.
Oh well let’s hope I’m wrong
