right, but that's because the audience for the film is more 25 than 45

Even though the critics hated it, Clash of the Titans was #1 at the

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Clash of the Titans in supposed "3D"
Yep,
It was the industry's rush to cheaply capitalize on the last 3D
market that killed it -- they put out all kinds of really bad films
that took little or no advantage of the 3D effect and then
advertised them as the Ultimate 3D Experience. Theater goers get
burned on a couple of those and the fad dies out.
I'm hoping the film distribution business (and the theater ownership
business) is in such precarious shape right now that they will
pressure the rest of the industry to come up with real quality 3D
content. If most of the new 3D films released are worth it, this
will keep the public coming into the theaters for another 10 years
or so until quality home 3D technology becomes affordable to the
low-budget consumer. If not, we're going to start seeing cineplexes
closing in droves, since most newly-released films are now available
on disc or online in 60 days of less from release now, there's
precious little reason for most people to schlep down to the theater anymore.
The last film I bothered to go to a first-run theater in the past
two years was to see AVATAR -- and only because it was 3D. And I
used to go to the theater at least once a week 6 years ago.

I saw Clash of the Titans last night because my eldest son wanted
to, and the movie itself blows (no big surprise there) but the 3D
also blows. I could have been wearing some "X-Ray Specs" for all
the difference the supposed 3D made. I took off the glasses on and
off (I was really bored) and there was next to no difference
watching with them or without them.
3-D should have many images that come off the screen and at the
viewer, and this movie had zero such scenes. They better quit this
conversion crap in a hurry, or 3D won't last as long as it did in
1953 and 1954.
