And the critical question is, how many of these films were conceived, written, and filmed for 3D from the get-go? Even when they are, the overall effect may be iffy, but if they are converted in the middle of the process they're most certainly not going to be worth the extra dough... -

I don't think that there has been any movies that have specifically been written for 3d format. Even Avatar just has a few shots that had extra twinkles in it in some parts and some wide shots. We probably won't see a true 3d movie until another year or two from now. If at all. I think the

I just realized Queen Elizabeth X was played by Academy Award nominated Sophie Okonedo of Hotel Rawanda. I thought she brought a lot of presence to a fairly small role. She's quite stunning. I'm still amazed at how a country where blacks don't have the clout or opportunities in acting they do

Actually, Cameron has said many times that Avatar was conceived of as a 3D movie. It was the lack of that tech--along with the motion capture tech and the ability to do realistic CGI--that delayed the movie by over a decade. He helped create new 3D technology with the WETA team, and spent a lot
