There has been very little good said here on MOPO for this film so I was starting to get iffy about going. But then a friend calls and wants to catch it tonight. Ya gotta go when your buddy calls. He and I both have better halves who are not much movie goers so we have to depend on each other or end up going alone. I am going to go with an open mind and hope to find some entertainment in it. Now whether I go 3d or regular we will decide when we get there. If anything I will have a good bucket of popcorn with genuine fake butter oily substance which is one of my favorite things in the whole world (really!).
Oh, and I loved the original 1981 version and have watched it 100 times during my laserdisc days.... so bring on the Kraken!!!

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. -- JR Bruce Hershenson wrote: 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.
