As long as I get my Abyss Blu-ray

Oh you'll get your Abyss blu ray and it'll incorrectly colour timed and DNR'd to oblivion.

Nooooooooo. Give me a nice 4K of the Abyss Special Edition, full of film grain and accurate tones. I will accept nothing less.

I love the first one, although I don't watch it that often. The absolute visual riot is of course amped up this time around and I'm a sucker for underwater adventures... I really can't wait to see Avatar 2.

Which made me realise if there's not shit jumping out it adds nothing to the experience.

"Annoying when it's a gimmick and pointless when it's not."

I had that realisation when I saw Prometheus in 3D. When you notice it, you notice it, which means you're out of the story. When you don't notice it, why bother?

The only film I thought it worked in was Dredd (2012). Made sense for the dreamy hallucination slow-time scenes.

100% correct, because in Dredd it works not only on a spectacle level but it is also justified by the narrative itself, in everything else it is an aside from the film.

Using it to distinguish reality and the computer world in Tron was neat, but there again it's a gimmick. Although I guess in its case not an annoying one.

OK, Quaritch crushing his own skull is an all-timer of a visual.
