Paramount wants the next Trek to be in 3D

[number6]

I don't undertand how 3D is such a deal breaker. If the story is good, seeing it in 3D would be a bonus. Trek has always attempted cutting edge special effects, so why shouldn't they be doing a 3D film. Thought XI was great in IMax. 3D Trek doesn't have to automatically be bad or cheesy.
People will love or hate the film on its own merits, not for 3D or color of the nacelles.

I don't have a problem with "Trek" being in 3-D so long as it commits to the form like Avatar and not half-assed like Tron Legacy.

I don't understand these exacting "conditions" either. It's a Star Trek film and therefore will be nothing like Avatar or Tron. It will be like Star Trek, only in 3D.

LEAVE AVATAR ALOOOONE! LEAVE IT ALOOOONE!

And no, I will never be done with ranting about Avatar. It's too much fun. Also, I have to rant about something. Duh.

I hear the soundtrack will be in stereo. What the hell's wrong with mono?!

Avatar is defnitely fun but, alas for Dennis, it's definitely a leave your brain at the door movie. He spent so long too, trying to convince people the story had some kind of third dimension to match the visuals. Trek XI was almost highbrow in comparison.

The beginning and end of Tron Legacy (the "real" world) is supposed to be watched/displayed in 2-D while the bulk of the movie was filmed for 3-D. At least in a sense it was more discriminating with its use of 3-D than Avatar.

But a little perspective: "half-assed" 3-D would be something like Clash of the Titans, The Last Airbender (somewhat ironically), G-Force, Piranha, and Cats & Dogs, all adapted for 3-D during post-production for marketing purposes. The one thing most post-production 3-D films have in common was the sheer amount of suck; movies filmed with the intent of 3-D in the first place (coincidentally, mostly animated films like Up and Toy Story 3) tend to fare at least a little better in the story department. That's not to say that 3-D and quality of story are linked, but it implies that there's at least a measure of foresight going on by the producers.

Here's one advantage of filming in 3D. JJ would have to keep the camera steady in order to take the full effect.

And for all the Pixar and Avatar talk, I'm surprised that no one has talked about Coraline in 3D. That movie is not only a great film, it's also the most effective 3D film I've seen to date. Not even Avatar matched the 3D awesomeness of Coraline.

And while you can ditch and rant about Avatar all you want, it's still the better film for Zoe Saldana. She actually does something pretty significant in Avatar instead of just random gratuitous undressing scenes and make out sessions in Star Trek.

This.

Avatar was fun to watch, the 3D visuals were neat, but that was it.

And if ST XII comes out in 3D, I will totally watch in in 3D. I think it's nice, but it doesn't get a wow from me anymore. It makes no difference. If the film sucks, 3D won't save it.

Should 3D be the future of cinema and television the way everyone says it is, whatever. I don't care either way.

ONE undressing scene and no make out scene (that's Kirk - in the undressing scene).

Note to JJ Abrams: Spock and Uhura kissing in the turbolift (elevator) wasn't memorable enough.

You have a very strange idea of making out if you think that was it.

See, that's exactly what I mean.

And to think, I've been doing it wrong all these years...

For knowledge about the proper way of making out you need to go to the experts: Star Trek Fans!!

 

[Nerd unRage]

Some of us know how to make out and by far, there was no making out in Star Trek with the possible exception of Kirk and Gaia or whatever her name was and even that was stretching it.

Maybe a kiss in 3D would look like making out

 

[Anticitizen]

If I recall correctly, you begin by taking the first two fingers from your right hand, and begin stroking the first two fingers of the hand of your partner. Then, you fight someone to the death.

Ah, amore!

Why not do it in 3D, back in 1984, I was surprised that they did not do STAR TREK III SFS in 3D. The early to mid '80s had 3D movies of Friday the 13th III in 3D and Jaws III in 3D too. If it was the third movie sequel, then 3D seemed to be an option.
