How 3D Is Destroying 2D Movies Too

Something bothered me the integral time I was watching Thor in 3D — not how closely the plot ring Disney ’s Hercules , or Anthony Hopkins ’ telephone dial - a - performance — no , it was something unrelenting through every single second of the picture . It was too dim .

The last 3D moving-picture show I ’d seen was Tron : Legacy , where the black - and - blue pallet in effect block out any sense of the film being too dark-skinned . It ’s one of the more pernicious side event of 3D. But in at least one theatre in Boston , the Globe findsthat 3D lens are being left on projectors even for 2D films ( in eight of the theaters ’ 19 screens ) , resulting in pic that look “ strikingly dim and drain of colors . ” The difference is stark : 3D lens of the eye make the motion-picture show up to 85 percent darker , Chapin Cutler from Boston Light & Sound tells the Globe .

The ground projectionist are n’t pulling off the three-D polarizing lens ? Your mediocre projectionist does n’t recognize how . And if they screw it up , the DRM on the special Sony 4 K projector they ’re using that ask these international 3D lenses kicks in and pulls the plug . And AMC , according to the Globe ’s report , practices wilful ignorance , choosing to keep 3D lens on for 2D flicks . Prepare to be disturbed infuriated when you fall into place over to the Globe for the full story : [ Boston GlobeviaBoingBoing ]
