Buffy ,'Him'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I haven't seen a 3-D movie. So far the reports of headaches have balanced out the reports of niftiness, and the extra cost has tipped the balance toward 2-D.
Good luck with the Thor-ing, smonster. Whether or not the emotional hook works for you there's a whole lot of pretty in Thor.

I would definitely recommend seeing the Aardman Pirates movie in 3-D, it really makes that film.
Thor is shirtless in one scene. t edit Of Thor. That is all you need to know.
I thought it was shot in 3-D rather than being done in post-?
It wasn't shot in 3D, but it was shot with an eye for 3D, I believe, as Joss expected it to be post-converted.

I can see where that style of animation might work well in 3-D.
Huh. I thought the 3D in Pirates was fine, but nothing special. (Kind of like the movie as a whole. I didn't dislike it, but it felt more like watching 3 episodes of a kids' TV show than a movie.)
Avatar was pretty decent in 3-D, because I think it was shot that way. I know I had to close my eyes from vertigo in some of the aerial long shots.
Speaking of....
Video: James Cameron Wants to Convert Everyone to ’5-D’
James Cameron wants everyone to adopt “5-D,” a term coined by the film and television industry to describe shooting in 2-D and 3-D simultaneously.
Broadcast 3-D is often seen as the bastard stepchild of the TV world. It’s been too expensive, and 3-D operators have mostly been unable to score prime camera positions (like, for instance, right under the hoop at a basketball game). The Avatar director’s company, the Cameron Pace Group, hopes to change things with a new line of cameras that broadcast both 2-D and 3-D signals and can be operated by a single person.
“3-D [television] would be stillborn if you had to do a separate 3-D production and a 2-D production of the same event,” says Cameron in Wired’s video interview above. “It was never going to make sense — you had to have an integrated production.”

That's idiotic. If the movie's going to be released in 3D, shoot the damn thing in 3D.

By "broadcast" I assume they mean "record."
The standard way to do 2D and 3D at the same time is to simply broadcast one "eye" of the 3D camera and call that the 2D version. Sports broadcasters have been doing it for years.
