Destiny Skywalker Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 How do you plan on seeing TFA? I have some lingering vision issues so my brain really hates 3D. I always hear that it's getting better, but I usually end up with a headache of some sort by the end of a 3D movie, and those glasses do not work well for me (daughter of an optometrist, so help me, I'm a glasses snob). But I REALLY want to see it in IMAX. Le sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 2D. Forever. FOR-EV-ER. I hate 3D with a fiery passion. Love IMAX, hate 3D. I might check out IMAX 3D, but my initial viewing is gonna be a regular ole screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 3D is a massive waste of money for barely any added effect and a headache. 2D is love, 2D is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 2D all day long. 3D does my head at the cinema as well, but on Blu-ray, 3D works really well on the tv I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 But this is Star Wars, they don't have to cater to people who wear glasses. AKA nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Seeing it in 2D the first two times and 3D IMAX the third. Probably will do one regular 3D, and the rest 2D. Yes. I'm seeing it that many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Until they recognize people who wear glasses can't enjoy 3D, EFF THREEEE DEEE I found some clips on Amazon. I'm debating it, $12 might be worth a try. I think the real issue is that I really want to see it in IMAX 2D, but as Seth said... EFF THREEEE DEEE Glad to hear I'm not the only one who hates 3D. My husband is always getting a semi about it, I think it's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Haven't seen a film in 3D since Avatar, and that left me with such an incredible headache that I swore never to bother with 3D again. It's not worth the pain. I get plenty of 3D in real life. I don't need it in my distractions from real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 2-D for me. For some reason, the last couple movies I saw (Godzilla and Jurassic World) in 3-d gave me headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 i think 3D is awesome for movies that have a lot of texture-- like CGI films, or stop motion. I saw a 3D remaster of Nightmare Before Christmas and it was amazing. Cheap, actiony stuff flying at you 3D is gimmicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wader Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If none of you have, highly recommend watching a 3D movie but only if it's in an IMAX cinema equipped with their new 4K system - makes a MASSIVE difference. I always get headaches from the standard 3D, and always have to re-position so I don't get the double vision, but this is a whole other story. No headaches, never have to re-position to get the 3D as it's always present. Saw Everest in the Melbourne IMAX that recently had it installed and honestly if I have to watch a 3D movie, this is the only way I will do it. But since tickets to the IMAX session were impossible to get (their servers s*** themselves), went with the standard 2D. I'd wish more filmmakers would just follow suit with Christopher Nolan and focus on high definition instead of 3D. Interstellar & the 2 Dark Knight films in IMAX pretty much blew every 3D movie out of the water with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 2D all the way. 3D also makes things look smaller for some reason. You constrict the periphery vision with stupid goggles, bring things forward an the screen seems smaller as a result. BALL SACKS. 2D rules.

Guest Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 2D. Why would I willingly pay more for something I'll enjoy less? Also, a friend made a good point - if I see a movie in 2D, I'm much more free to pay attention to the entire sscreen. With 3D, my focus has been chosen for me, and not always by the director and rarely for story or artistic purposes. I'll save my 3D for real gimmicks (ie Universal's Spider-Man ride).

D-Ray Kenobi Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 My first time that Thursday night is in 2D, no question. I don't want to be bothered with any extra fancy features. We'll go back in the next week or so for 3D and IMAX though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maker Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 2D first, but definitely IMAX 3D later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If the 3d reviews are good i'll go see it after I've seen the movie in 2d. It's a conversion though. It wasn't shot in native 3d. Plus a movie with action as frantic as Star Wars can be disorienting. A film like Gravity works in 3d because the pace of the movie suck you into the depth of space.

Cashmere Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I watched one of the educational films in IMAX 3-D and it was survivable for the 15 minutes that it lasted, but I would never watch anything else in 3-D. I have motion sickness issues as it is, even with 2-D action sequences that have lots of flashing and spinning. I have a feeling I'd actually barf if I tried to watch a feature film in 3-D. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just wanna say, a lot of us are going to see Star Wars TFA more than once in the theater, so this doesn't necessarily need to be an either/or argument. But in my case, I literally had headaches from 3-D, so I will be enjoying it in 2-d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevil Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 2D for me. I'm not a big fan of 3rd largely because of the crap glasses. They let light in at the sides and it spoils my enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my case, I literally had headaches from 3-D, so I will be enjoying it in 2-d.Agreed. I meant initial screening. I think I'm going to go with Met's plan and see how it reviews in 3D. Kind of surprised by all of your responses, because there are TONS of 3D and 3D IMAX show times, and a lot less 2D. But I guess I have no way to know how heavily sold all those times are. But the theaters are clearly pushing 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
