Tron? I think I stepped in some once.

Tron - Legacy: a Non Review.

I can't review this because though I went to see it with Hilary this afternoon  we walked out well before the end because the 3D was horrible (blurry and eye-achingly zippy), the plot was almost non-existent seeming to consist of lots of samey-gamey chases, the treatment on some of the voices was so awful we couldn't make out the words (the whole thing was too loud which didn't help the sound distortion), and - frankly - it was really, really, REALLY boring.

And we don't walk our of movies easily when we've paid good money. (This from the women who even sat through Dragonballs and Clone Wars right to the end!)

And to add insult to injury:
a) it seems to be ONLY available in 3D (I would always see 2Din preference) and
b) the Cineworld cinema charges more for 3-D and
c) we were charged an extra £1.50 for using an Orange Wednesday twofer because it was 3D

That's the last 3D movie I go to see at Cineworld.... Evah!

Spend a hundred mil to tell a shite story. . .

I know a lot of people hate Avatar, but I really had fun at that movie. Still, Avatar is representative of a go for broke trend, where the costs surrounding individual movies exceed the GNP of entire nations - it's no surprise that movie-makers have become sort of desperate to find a new profit venue. 3D isn't really the one, I think, but until some 3D flicks bomb, nobody's going to budge. I think our problem is that it doesn't cost a lot more to add the effect, but it generates much more money per screen. At least it does unless the audience bails on the effect, again.

I enjoy Avatar. It's a work of art.

I enjoed Avatar, too, despite the average script and the dances-with-blue-people storyline. It was, indeed, very pretty and the 3D was well used and reasonably subtle. Yeah, it would have been nice if the stunning visuals had been accompanied by a superb script and mind blowingly intgelligent storyline, but hey, one out of three is 100% better than Tron.
