What are they like?

3D films that is?

Mrs just asked about going on Fri night with her sis to watch Final Destination in 3D. I can't as I can't see things in 3D thru them there weird glasses (as per my eyesight thread a while back).

So I'm not gonna bother, just give them a lift and eat chinese in their absence

But it got me wondering, whats different to watching normal films? I don;t geddit?

took the kids last weekend to watch G-Force in 3d was amazing the images come totally out of the screen to you, nothing like the old 3d jaws from years ago i was truly amazed and the glasses these days are not the white plastic blue/red lenses

Will

+1. I took my 4 year old to watch that last week and the 3D glasses are brilliant.

My daughter has an eye condition and she can only see in 2D. She wanted to see Ice Age but it was in 3D so i didn't think she would be able to see it properly.

Andy, whats wrong with your sight?

I haven't the ability to look out of both eyes at the same time. So if I put 3D glasses on, I can only see either blue or red depending which eye I tell myself to look out of.

I found out at my recent Corus medical as I couldn't combine 2 pictures (one in each eye) together. So when I look at 3d pictures all I see is either a red tint or a blue tint in colour.

Weird, i cant imagine what that must be like. Angels problem is her optic nerve, so completely different.

Will

Shouldnt make a diffrence with the new 3D glasses as the lenses are clear.

How do they work then if the lenses are clear?

Polarisation

I've seen a few films at Imax in 3D. Harry Potter was the last one, well, the first 15 minutes of it [con] It was very impressive, much more than the rest of the film which seemed to be about teenagers toying with their first flirtations with the opposite sex Oh, and a wizard was in it. We'll be going to watch a new 3D version of 'A Christmas Carol', and 'Avatar' is a definite. Might catch 'Polar Express' if they put it on again at Chrimbo too.

I was waiting for someone to ask that, i didn't want to look like i had missed the obvious

Will

Dont exactley know, but If you take the glasses off the movie becomes all blurry.

I would forget to take them off

DYK

You can use them as Beer Goggles also

You wouldn't need to drink either as they make your sight blurred

Will

Ah, so basically by only being able to look out of one eye at a time, I see either the red or the blue version of the dual imagery which is supposed to be simultaneously processed by both eyes.

But if the lenses which Monsieur Impreza is one about do both images per eye, I would be able to see the 3D films?

corradoboy

I doubt it. Each eye utilises a different polarising angle, or possibly one eye is linear polarised and the other circular. To get depth of field through stereoscopic vision both eyes need to process the image from slightly different perspectives, hence why our eyes are set apart. The polarised images are filmed as this, but the polarising glasses are supposed to prevent each eye seeing the image meant for the other. If you only see out of one eye it shouldn't work, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work for you you can always walk out and into a normal film if it's at a multiplex.

Will

These are the new 3D glasses at my local Cineworld.

They're not 3D, but an "illusion"...

Leslie

I remember when they came out with 3D films years ago with those red and blue glasses. It was quite impressive then and they always used to film things swooping out of the screen at you. Used to make them all scream. If you were with a fine young lady there was always a chance she would clutch your arm, or something!

Did you ever use the old hole in the bottom of the popcorn trick?

So going to france is a no no




or joining the RAF

Klaatu

Again, it's an illusion, similar to 3D, but not 3D. Even wrap-around screens, still not 3D. It's a simulation, impressive all the same.

Leslie

I don't know about that one, you will have to explain!

Hell what did I miss?
