James Cameron's "Avatar"

re: James Cameron's "Avatar"

Ok, question here:

It sounds like 3D may be the way to go with this one, which would be my first ever 3D experience in theaters. Is it still like old school 3D where your eyes would start to hurt after a while and nausea would kick in, and there would little blue and red lines surrounding everything? Lol, I know I know, I'm sure it's advanced far beyond that, but I just want to make sure before I drop all that cash... because if it looks gimmicky, I'm gonna be pissed.

This isn't that subpar 3D gimmick that we all have seen done before, I can't really explain how it looks other than seamless and amazing. It won't make sense until you see it though.

Do you need glasses to see it in 3d?

Yep, ya sure do:

Tired of waiting for technology to catch up, he co-developed a new generation of stereoscopic cameras.

Simplified, this is the equivalent of two cameras strapped together, each providing a slightly different perspective on the scene, mimicking the way human eyes view the world in three dimensions.

This changes the ballpark of moving images.

If you've had previous experience of 3D, your impression will probably be one of a flattish image with the occasional object 'flying' at you'.

But these advances are different - the entire screen has depth, taking on the appearance of a window through which the viewer is watching a 'world' on the screen, with a distinct foreground and background, rather than a flat, moving painting

In effect, the cinema screen becomes a theatre stage.

There's still at least one throw-back to the 'early days' of 3D - viewers will need to wear glasses to get the illusion.

However these are not the red and green cardboard cut-outs you used to get free with Sugar Puffs before Comic Relief.

These are polarising glasses, untinted, which do not cause the headaches experienced in the past, or more importantly rely on frequent 'pans' of the camera to make the image appear in 3D.

Each lens has a different filter , which removes different part of the image as it enters each eye. This gives the brain the illusion it is seeing the picture from two different angles, creating the 3D effect.

Those glasses sound awesome.

But do wearing these glasses allow you to watch this at home when it comes out on Bluray or are we out of luck?

I'm sure there will be an edition that comes with a pair of them.

Are people seriously debating whether or not to see this movie in 3D or 2D?

These are the glasses that are used for 3D now. It's not the cardboard blue and red that completely ruin the picture

I know My Bloody Valentine was in 3D on the DVD release. Came with glasses.

There is a reason this movie cost 400 million to make. James has specially designed camera with two lenses that move like the human eyes

Yes, they will. I know because I had a pair laying around and have them on right now. Lenses are pretty big on them.

But when you go to the theaters do they give you these?

Yes they will.
