This is a 3D forum and I think that this statement needs to be taken seriously...

This is from a comment from a gary bell in studiodaily.com

This guy tells us that he will back off on watching 3D movies. I think this will highly affect you because you are graphic designers.

For me, The movie isn't good. though "The Last Airbender" is a low budget film. I think the 3D conversion was to no good at all. They re-shoot the film so that it will fit the 3D requirements. These days, 3D graphics is being over-rated. Mostly because it gives us the feeling that we are actually in the movie and experience the action. But what people don't realize is that if we want to be in the movie, we want that movie to be amazing not just a mediocre film.

I would like to ask to what is your reaction on his comment ?

Stereoscopy gives effect in speciffic situations only. Movie has to be adapted to techniqe, has to contain speciffic scenes that will be sensed by spectators. Everything has to be well thought. In the other way it's just a standard 2D movie and the only difference is that you pay more for it and have to put those uncomfortable glasses on.
Making movie without thinking about it and doing a simple conversion isn't a good idea. I know that people are crazy about 3D now but I suppose that they want to see some effects when paying more and having glasses on. If there is no difference between 3D and standard movie then it just doesn't make sense. Conversion is an addictional work and cost for nothing except frustrating people.
