GDT said they spent twice the amount of money on 3D conversion than average.

But see, I really don't care how much they spent on the conversion. It wasn't until after filming even started that they decided to convert it, AND no matter how much money you put into it, IT WON'T BE THE SAME as filming with actual 3D cameras. It wasn't conceived as a 3D film and it wasn't shot as one, so I think its a waste to spend the extra money for it.

But movies like Prometheus and Avatar had 3D that didn't just benefit cuz of CG. Both of those movies did a lot with depth of field and other stuff, stuff that was meticulously planned out by the director and cinematographer to fit the 3D format. That kind of planning is totally lost in post conversions, especially when the movie wasn't even conceived as a 3D film. And yes, even a lot of the CG-heavy shots were planned this way.

At least with movies like Alice In Wonderland and Piranha 3D, they were SHOT with 3D in mind even if they didn't film on 3D. But most of these post conversions DON'T EVEN do that at all. This movie being no different. They didn't even decide to do it in 3D until after filming was underway.

Yeah...it seems like something like Pacific Rim, which wasn't ever intended by the director to be made for 3D won't benefit from a 3D conversion. But I've given up the 3D battle. I mean, I'll never pay to see something in 3D myself, but I've given up trying to convince anybody otherwise.

Someone wants to pay more money to see a less detailed, dimly-lit version of a movie that wasn't meant to be seen that way, let 'em.

I bought my ticket on Tuesday. It's for the 10pm 3D IMAX show. I feel like my first experience of this film needs to be in IMAX. Also if you see it in 3D IMAX opening night you can get that comic book style incentive poster and I want that.

However I could be seeing it as early as 9pm this coming Tuesday which is when the press screening is here in Charlotte. I've gotten into those before and I'm trying to get into this one obviously.
