The current obsession with 3D movies is doing my head in. The Sun reported yesterday that the next Bond film has delayed shooting because they’re going to film it in 3D. I suppose there’s probably a market for a three-dimensional Daniel Craig (or random Bond girl, I guess), but personally I’d rather they spent the extra months fine-tuning the script. [The Sun]

Anyone else thing 3D is overrated? I saw Avatar in 3D and though, yeah, it’s nice, but I don’t think that the 3D really added anything to it.

I think 3D added a lot to Avatar, I guess it’s hard to tell unless you actually saw them side by side though.
But for movies like Bond? Forget it. You’re right, focus on the script and acting, because the last few have sucked hard.

I was hoping we had reached the stage in technology that we could stop trying to improve the picture/sound quality, and focus on actual substance of the script. Games too.

Absolutely, that poor scriptwriter spends so much of his time on improving picture/sound quality, no wonder he has no time left to work on the script…

Personally, the 3D gives me an awful headache – so I’m hoping they don’t spend too much time on it.

All down to taste some will love 3d some will hate it . When Stereo came to the audio world some believed that it had no point as is with all new things some hate it some love it but hey it gets people talking. Personally I love, bring on 3d tv.

Not just concentrate on the script but also get a decent director who doesn’t edit action scenes all to hell. I have no idea what was going on for the first 10 minutes of Quantum of Solace. Unfortunately the Bond name still draws crowds but the owners of the franchise mistake this for approval for the latest crap they have dished up.
The last 2 Bond films are the only ones I have seen only once. Even the cheesy Roger Moore stuff is better.
Avatar was designed for 3D, Bond is not.

Just you wait… George Lucas will be back fiddling with Star Wars and ruining it even more now… just so we can see it in 3D…

I think we should be worried about Harry Potter not Star Wars.

I’ve got it! If they could just hire a different guy, then the scriptwriter could tune the script AT THE SAME TIME as the new guy does the 3D!
I have these flashes of brilliance sometimes.
