The best magazine
There can be two reasons why you haven't seen this one yet though.
Maybe you are amongst the kind of people that hate things that are hyped.
And therefore you didn't go watch it.
Another good reason would be because you are likely to get seasick.
Seasick you say? Yes, seasick.
I went with my girlfriend, and after a 1.
5 hour drive through hilariously bad weather (I'm dutch, and we had a rough winter this year because we are absolutely not used to snowstorms) we found out the hard way that watching 3d is not really recommended for people that are easily sickened by motion.
Nonetheless.
We got there.
After getting a large coke and a soda and some sloppy salty popcorn (who on earth invented salty popcorn, it should be sweet!), we sat down in one of the middle rows.
3d shutter glasses in our hands, figuring out if we could put the 3d ones on top of the ones we need to see at all.
That worked.
BUT, we off course didn't "just put them on".
Nooo, my girlfriend is girlish enough to bring glass wiping tissues.
Yeah, I didn't know that existed either, but those are the kind of tissues that are moist and make everything crispy clear.
Another advantage, or so I was told, is that it kills germs.
And we off course do NOT want germs from other people on our precious heads.
Certainly not with all the crazy flus, cow diseases, chicken madness and whatever is passing around.
Great, ready to go, let the movie begin.
And the movie began.
I was amazed, almost stunned at the level of detail in the movie.
In the beginning we both had a hard time figuring out on what part of the screen we had to "focus".
Because of the way 3d works, the movie decides for you what parts of the screen are sharp and what parts are a bit blurry to enhance the 3d effect.
So I was watching a blurry part, when I had to focus on the sharp part.
But after getting used to that it was all fine and dandy.
Like said, the details where amazing.
I did my best to notice a bit more then what was going on so I could get to writing this review.
And it was worth it, looking at the background I noticed why it took so long to make this movie.
Every little detail was worked out, every little raindrop in the distance and every little piece of rock actually looked amazing.
When there was a big fight going on, you could see more people fighting in the distance.
Not just blurry graphics, you could really SEE what was going on there.
Although I didn't quite catch exactly what the movie was about, I heard from others later on that it had some subliminal message about politics and environment protection.
Well ok, sure, if that's what it was about fine with me.
The story was good, but the real reason to see this movie is what 3d can do.
And although I had expected a little bit more "try catch the things right in front of your eyes like in a theme park" moments, I think it was even better that it didn't have many of those.
It would have ruined the whole experience, and instead of it being a "gimmick" it really made the movie an all in experience.
Unlike Transformers 3d for example, that had awesome graphics but a lack of story in it.
I have been reading some reviews of this movie on other sites.
Some are disappointed.
Not because of the movie but because they think that movie companies should focus on HD first before trying to give us another "gimmick".
Well I agree with a part of them, not ALL movies should be in 3D.
But movies like this, hell yeah.
Conclusion: A big thumbs up for this movie.
If you didn't see it, because of seasickness or because you hate hypes I urge you to rethink your decision.
Its worth the few minutes puking until your eyes get used to the experience.
