The Predator To Be Released In 3D

[skull-splitter]

while there are some exceptions, 3D is anoying as f**k and I try to avoid it when possible. Thanks to it being an upcharge from 9-10 to 14-15, local cinema chains hardly offer 2D unless they have enough screens.

Damn that's annoying. My local theaters always have 2D showings going along with the 3D showings but they're big theaters. You'd think other theaters would realize 3D tickets may cost more but they also drive away a portion of business.

Not here in the Netherlands. One cinema has about 10 screens, if you'd find a 2D screening there it will be at an impossible time. If you want it in Imax, you bet your ass you'll only get 3D.

Even if I might want to see a particular movie in IMAX, if it's only available in IMAX 3D, I'll settle for regular showings instead. Nine out of ten times, 3D is distracting and headache-inducing for me, so I gave up on those.

Knowing that the film wasn't meant initially to be in 3d, i agree

Always. Few films are actually filmed in 3D, so avatar and animated films tend to work best. I recall a 2D image slowly gaining depth and fading to a shaded 3D model in A Christmas Carol years ago and it was some of the best usage I've seen of the technique. Otherwise it is just a distraction with little to no added value.

Here's how 3D works:

19 year old brother- "Me and my buds are going to see The Predator...you in?"
14 year old brother (playing Fortnite)- "Nah, No clue what that even is, sounds like a nature show about a shark or something...."
19 year old brother- "It's about some creature alien thing that kills people, looks pretty cool and it's in 3D sooooaaaa...."
14 year old brother- "3D? Fine I'm in...."

Extra ticket or two sold. Every little bit helps

No younger brother can convince me that 3D is better.

I was looking forward to the 3D version, too -- but we may have done too much 11th hour tinkering to make it possible.

So, no 3D release?

I'd leave little brother to his games and go see the predator with others who love it or just enjoy it myself. If the movie is any good, it will float, not sink. Don't make what should be a special experience for yourself (as a fan) into a desperate attempt to make more money for studio execs.

Besides, the theatrical run isn't the only financial gauge. A movie can do merely decent numbers in theaters but do huge business on home release.

Shame they'll miss out on the 3D revenue. As long as it still gets an IMAX release, though.

[skull-splitter]

Yay, no 3D!

I was looking forward to that 3d. Oh well
