hah.
thx.

Question then: I’m going to see it this weekend. Should I go for 3D or is 2D good enough?

[imag4media]

I’d go pay for all the bells and whistles.
Better or worse, not something you see everyday.
The movie itself is mediocre. The tech is pretty jaw-dropping.
Can’t imagine it has much competition for VFX this year.
Just my 2 cents.

I saw 2d with the fam thinking they wouldn’t be interested in seeing it in IMAX. We’re going to see it again this weekend in IMAX so there you go…

Go for the HFR 3D. It’s the best example of the tech and something you can’t get with other movies.

… obviously jarring. Definitely worth a see if you get the chance.Both the tech and the viewership will evolve.I’m very much looking to see what peeps can do with the tech.Unlike Trumbull, we no longer confront infrastructure changes across an industry.Looking forward to more folks playing with this stuff.Some results will be good and much of it a lot less good.But, it’s the only way it gets better.A

Great for sports!

I saw in IMAX 3D and was the first time I thought the 3D improved the experience.

Watched it with 3D and Atmos. Def. a movie worth watching in good equipped theaters.

The fps mixup was easier to ignore than expected. It’s like vfx failures in many movies. As soon as you concentrate on it, it’s overwhelming annoying, but not looking at them won’t make the movie worse.
