I really and truly hope that the 3D transfer remains awful in the final cut so people will avoid it and choose the standard version instead. Maybe that will finally be the death knell for 3D filmmaking.
I can't for the life of me understand why studios (and now filmmakers) keep trotting out the 3D technology. They've been doing it off and on for decades in the hopes of making an extra buck on what they market as "new" or "better." Fewer and fewer people are seeing films at the cinema these days and they want to charge people even more to see this crap?
My single worry is that, even if I dodge the 3D version of the film, I'm still going to have to watch something that was filmed at 48fps. There's a reason 24fps has been the industry standard for 80 years. It's beautiful. It's familiar. It works. I don't want this film, or any other film, to look like a badly calibrated VIZIO HD television.
So here's hoping Jackson heeds the warning and dials down the framerate in post. 3D is evil, man. No one should use this technology. It must be cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.
