Studios are turning everything they can into 3-D without considering whether it should be done at all," he says. "We're already wearing the experience out.
It's different, shooting in 3-D," Bay says. "You need more cameras. You need different sets. It needs to be a forethought. Right now, studios are treating it as an afterthought

cant wait to own Prime in 3D in my house!
Lord Onixprime wrote:3D for the sake of 3D ruins most movies. Most 3D movies are 2 hours of stuff coming at the screen for no reason, and when watched without 3D they are just pointless movies. A lot of movies fall into that category, even Avatar. It might work for Transformers being it has been just action scenes with stuff happening right in front of the screen anyways, so its not going to cut into the movie, because the plot of the movie is mostly robots fighting robots. Just not everything needs 3D. There's going to be a point where the label '3D' isn't a selling point anymore, and then we will just have crappy movies about stuff flying towards you that no one cares about.

I've seen three 3D movies thus far - Polar Express, A Christmas Carol & Avatar. There is definately a difference in the scenes & cinematography visually to give a true depth-appeal, and not just make a few gimmicks 3D afterward. So I definatley see where he's coming from.
I agree with Bay that the experience is being worn out.

I'm just glad an argument hasn't broken out yet...but I won't hold my breath. There's really nothing to argue over here thank Primus.
It needs to stop elaborating on such a pointless activity.Capt.Failure wrote:At least Bay refused to do the film in 3D until he could get his hands on the 3D Camera tech. Most films advertised as "3D" use the post processing method (The Last Airbender and Resident Evil: Afterlife come to mind) that makes the scenes meant for the 3D effects have a seemingly washed out color scheme. It's very obvious in RE: Afterlife, when one minute the colors are fine and the next they're dull and washed out looking.
