Comments on: Misleading eye-popping 3D ads http://hollywoodinhidef.com/2010/04/1727/ Blu-ray, high definition, 3D news from Hollywood Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:49:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Juan http://hollywoodinhidef.com/2010/04/1727/comment-page-1/#comment-23522 Juan Mon, 09 May 2011 17:11:30 +0000 http://hollywoodinhidef.com/?p=1727#comment-23522 I agree with Archie. Ok I don't want everything popping out flying around but to have nothing doing that is a real let down. If this is the way 3d movies continue to go then the set I have will be the last 3d set I'll be buying. But then like Roy says perhaps Indie will come to the rescue. It's not just movies though. So far none of the games I have played on the ps3 have popped out. I have tried motorstorm apocalypse, mortal kombat, cod black ops, killzone 3. the depth on the last 2 is very pronounced which does make it more immersive but it'd be nice to have some in your face effects too. I agree with Archie.

I purchased 3D tv set only because of 3d effects popping out. from the begining i was one of those who seriously defended 3d tech but now i fell stupid. It seems i was wrong and all 3d hype is fake. Someone just want to make a big dollar on us :( i am very disappointed with this approach.

Any 3d effect that goes into the screen seems to be more natural for our eyes to see without straining. So some movies (Like avatar) use a few pop-out effects to try and keep things interesting, but the fewer they use the less straining it is on the viewers eyes. Personally, I hate the shift to 3d. The effect works very very poorly for me, and it only leads to a migraine. The reason they don’t do a large amount of the ‘pop-out’ effect is because it causes headaches for viewers.

The Imax nature documentaries are a strong example of "into the audience" 3D depth that has been missing, with a few exceptions like the opening of "Coraline," from studio 3D movies. Perhaps fearing being criticized for gimmickry, 3D studio directors have deliberately avoided your so-called wow factor style; and you are right that the studios are taking a risk by not meeting the expectations of a premium-paying audience.
