I'm all so skeptical about 3-D technology, especially 3-D TV. I know the world around me is changing, and that I have a difficult time adjusting, but the kind of TV that I want is a Full HD LED TV. Since the prices just to go see a movie have rapidly increased to a point where going to see a 3-D movie costs $17-20, it would probably be better just to wait till it comes out on DVD, Blu-ray, or On Demand. Guess this might be a reason why the dreaded Smurfs movie could be a stink bomb. Seeing ads for LG's 3D ready TVs, I saw on the bottom that "Watching 3D video may cause discomfort" One of the biggest highlights for drug commercial watching is to listen for the side effects, some of which are funny to hear. I want a Full HD LED TV for graduation, because high picture quality makes movies look real enough. I also want to connect a computer to the TV because people at Micro Center are satisfied with using their TV's as computer monitors.
Do you think I was young enough to grow up watching Smurfs, Thundercats, and reruns of shows like A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard, and Alvin and the Chipmunks?
Not if you pay for the full 3-D IMAX experience that studios want you to go see!

I didn't see Avatar in 3-D and I probably won't see this one in 3-D.

James Cameron said himself that when he filmed Avatar in 3D, he wanted to do it so that you forget that you're watching a movie and wearing the glasses and instead make you feel immersed on the planet Pandora. The movie wasn't about having stuff coming at your face every 30 seconds but rather to make the planet scenery seem tangible and realistic, like there was no screen and that you could just walk past the seats and explore the jungle area. While most movies use 3D as a gimmick, James Cameron utilizes it so that we get a seemingly authentic viewing of the world he's created.
Titans was originally shot in 2D, and they decided to go back and adjust each frame manually to give it a third dimension after seeing how Avatar revolutionized 3D, so I don't have much hope for this one. From what I hear, the screen is so saturated in dusty, sandy color that you barely notice any difference with or without 3-D glasses.

I've had experience in imaging with 3-D gaming, you really have to put an lot of thought into the look before you commit.
If you're going to make the movie in 3-D, don't do it half-assed like this "Trash of the Titans" is. Converting a movie into 3-D makes it look cheesier than Dynamation. Avatar's shots are all designed with 3-D in mind, note the longer shots and sequences because 3-D doesn't work well in short shots! Your eyes need several seconds to adjust to a 3-D scene and when you do a bunch of fast clips, the effect isn't fully processed. Consequently, the short clip effects in Trash of the Titans look half-assed. Because they are.
The original movie was campy and cheesy and it was the last hurrah for Dynamation. But it still had some charms because you knew that Harryhausen put a lot of love, sweat and effort into it. This remake doesn't have that singular vision, it's just another modern hodgepodge that has a dozen different teams doing a dozen different sequences without a single unifying vision guiding them. And it shows. It's the typical bucket of half-baked recycled crap that modern Hollywood MBAs love to market.
Honestly, if Harryhausen was 60 years younger and tried to get into the movie business today, he'd be shown the door. Hollywood no longer is interested in an individual with ideas, they just want team players.
man, the reviews on this are weak. But the funniest reviews ever were for the movie Radio -- although most of them are not available anymore....
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I assume you are referring to the 2003 film RADIO, for which Cuba Gooding Jr. got a multi-title Worst Actor nomination? If so, here's an IMDb LINK to the film's listing there, and an R.T. LINK to read whatever reviews are still available (though I must say, I am unsure why you found these specific reviews so amusing)...

Radio was the movie with cuba gooding jr playing a mentally challenged man, it was supposed to be a serious drama, but might be one of greatest unintentional comedies of all time.
Oh yeah, that movie. Further proof of Cuba Gooding Jr's post-Oscar career going to s***.

Never heard "Radio" myself, but if it's as bad as you guys are saying. I will have to check it out.
On topic- F***ING HOLLYWOOD!!!! just because Avaturd made a sh*t load of money does'nt
mean all 3D films will make that sort of money.
*NOTE* Avaturd was filmed in 3D, so the 3D works****
Even hough the film itself was a steaming pile of....... well at least Clash and Avaturd have that in common! Hollywood really dropped the ball on this one, promising so much...
Yes, thank you. This is a point I've been trying to make about "Ava-turd"!

It's not a bad movie. My teacher showed it to the whole class one time and we ended up liking it. I'm surprised by the Razzie nom myself (just found out now) because it was a great performance from Gooding.
