Comments on: John August To Write Tim Burton’s ‘Frankenweenie’ http://screenrant.com/john-august-write-tim-burton-produced-frankenweenie-ross-5117/ TV and Movie News without the Sugar Coating Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:04:37 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Kyle Hammond http://screenrant.com/john-august-write-tim-burton-produced-frankenweenie-ross-5117/comment-page-1/#comment-64313 Kyle Hammond Mon, 16 Feb 2009 03:24:33 +0000 http://screenrant.com/?p=5117#comment-64313 I strongly disagree with the statement that 3-D is a gimmick. After seeing Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline in "Real D 3-D", I wish every movie would be in 3-D. 3-D has advanced far beyond that head-ache inducing "Red and Cyan 3-D". It’s not a gimmick in which visuals pop out of the screen, but a more engaging viewing experience. I strongly disagree with the statement that 3-D is a gimmick.

As for the style, this is very exciting. After seeing the trailer for Coraline in 3D, I can see how 3D works so well with the technique of stop-motion animation. Because stop-motion uses real/organic objects, seeing them in 3D really gives this impression to see real objects floating - a great match! I also disagree that 3D is a gimmick: now that 3D has become digital, I think it is here to stay in some genres like animation. Plus, there is no need to complain anyway, since most 3D movies like Bolt or Coraline can be watched in 2D in most theaters anyway if you prefer.

I thought it was very strange but interesting as well. Wonder how this version is going to work out Ah I remember Frankenweenie! I thought it was very strange but interesting as well.

Could you really imagine something like Revolutionary Road or Frost/Nixon in 3D? That's one of the reasons why I don't think it's going to be as dominating as the studios think - not all movies are suited to the technology. And the one's that are suited it's cool for the first few but it gets tiresome after that; it's cool to start with but after 15 minutes you just wish you could take the glasses off and watch the thing normally. @Aaron,

I don't think this will be a short lived gimmick like it's been in that past. Sure, initially movies will be "gimmicky" about its use, but I think as time goes on that aspect will not be as prevalent and it will just add to the movie theater experience. Now if they can get rid of those damned glasses... Vic I’m with Aaron. I don’t think this will be a short lived gimmick like it’s been in that past.

Now if they can get rid of those damned glasses…

With TV's, PC's, and Consoles all making the jump, it won't be long before we find a (more) stable method of displaying 3D *without* those glasses you despise so much. Nah, 3D is here to stay.
