I remember seeing the original but I honestly don't remember what the story was. I would definitely like to see this in 3-D however.

The whole 3-D thing has got to go. They are excluding a 'large' portion of their audience when doing this.

Why would 3-D exclude a large portion of their audience? This is a release for theaters isn't it? All of the 3-D movies in recent years release BOTH in 3-D and in 2-D. I can still go see Ice Age, Spy Kids, UP and whatever other 3-D movies are out there in 2-D at my local theater. Just because it's offered in 3-D does not mean it's exclusive unless you are privy to some other information stating this is exclusively in 3-D.

As soon as I saw The Dude is starring in Tron I just about wet myself.

Colour blind people have difficulties (can't see, gives headaches to) 3-D movies. The fact that you can see them in 2-D does not diminish the Jim Crowe attitude that these 3-D movies are presenting.

Damn the Man, save the Empire!

Did you seriously just relate 3-D/2-D to the segregation of Jim Crow laws? And you also think there is a "large" audience suffering from color-blindness who are being discriminated? I tried looking up percentages and what I found was that about 8% of males suffer from it and .5% of females. So 8.5% of the general population suffers and therefore producers who wish to offer movies in 3-D should reconsider?

*edit* Forgot to add that I'm assuming you are joking about the Jim Crow thing.

Sorry but I have to dispute your math. If we make the assumption that the general populationh is made up of equal numbers of men and women, then 8% of men plus 0.5% of women equals 4.25% of the general population.

Which I guess just adds more weight to your argument.

Yes. 5% more revenue on an opening weekend! Imagine what records you could break if you weren't discriminating against your public!

I just made the connection that Jeff Bridges was the star of the original Tron. That's cool.

Um... is this based on research with the new 3D, or are you referencing data from the old red/green style? They haven't used red/green in years, and I believe the headache issue due to polarization is also almost completely gone.

I wore my glasses for lolz waiting in line for Ice Age 3 and it took about 5 hours to even start to bother me in any way.

If you haven't seen a 3D movie in years I highly recommend you go do so. The current 3D tech is VERY different from what it used to be.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Digital_3-D

Quote:

Audiences viewing a film presented by Real D are given a pair of plastic 3D glasses. The glasses have circularly polarized lenses, each polarized differently. Circular polarization allows much greater head movement than linear polarization without loss of 3D effect or ghost images. This increases audience comfort and helps to mitigate the "3D headache" caused by many 3D systems, especially those relying on film projection.

The movie is projected digitally, with a single Christie, Barco or NEC DLP Cinema projector (other digital projection technologies would work as well if fitted with the proper equipment) at 144 frames per second, six times as fast as a normal movie. Every 1/24 of a second (the projection frame rate for normal 2D movies on film) the two scene views called "right eye" and "left eye" are each shown 3 times (6 flashes of image on the screen matching the 6 times higher projection rate). Due to persistence of vision, the 72 image frames and 72 black frames fed to each eye in a given second should be perceived as a relatively flicker-free image. Due to the low original framerate, the channel separation isn't optimal during horizontal camera movements which results in minor ghosting effects. ...

Do any of you remember back in the day when they would announce a movie with 3-D effects would be on TV and you would go down to the corner store and you'd pick up the glasses there?

I still have a couple somewhere but I remember the movies that they showed would have 3 or 4 effects at most and that would be it for the movie. I didn't even care what the movie was about at the time but they were generally lame.

AsheMan · 07-28-2009, 09:12 PM

Yeah I remember getting glasses in a TV guide or the store. I also remember when they did a Revenge of the Nerds movie with smellivision and you went to the store to get your little card that had the half dozen little different scratch 'n sniff pads.

MagicNumbers · 07-28-2009, 09:32 PM

Wow. Scratch and sniff is something I hadn't heard of lol.

AsheMan · 07-28-2009, 09:36 PM

You've never heard of Scratch 'n Sniff? These days they use it to put it on the outside of boxes of scented oils and crap like that so you can see what the product smells like. But years ago it was a novelty thing for kids.

Fozzik · 07-28-2009, 09:42 PM

I think 3D movies have always been, and continue to be, and excuse to make a really bad movie. Just like any other special effects, 3D seems to turn movie makers into complete morons.

If someone ever makes a good 3D movie, let me know. I absolutely love the original Tron...this new one looks really weak. I'm not sure who did the animation, but it looks like crap.

AsheMan · 07-28-2009, 09:55 PM

I've heard nothing but great things about UP, even from adults. But I don't think that's in theaters anymore.

Pixar is now making all of their films in 3-D. Welcome to the 21th century, Mr. Antitechnologyguy.

Up
Ice Age 3

and I'm sure Toy Story 3 when it comes out.

Monsters vs. Aliens was decent, but it was more like Monsters vs. Alien. Coraline was decent too. (The home 3d uses the old school red-green and it's pretty decent at it.)

I should have been more specific heheh. I was referring to Scratch-n-Sniff in movies.
