I can imagine there are daily meetings in Hollywood discussing which
films to convert to fake 3D and re-release to make some quick bucks.
Inevitably they will do a lot of this -- not that many films will
benefit much from it and so it will probably be a fad that only last for
a few years. Unless they make true "home theater 3d" affordable very
quickly. If that happens, then watch for virtually every halfway popular
movie from the last 20 years being issued in a 3D bluray edition.
Perhaps more noticeable, I'm thinking virtually every movie now in
production (or about ready to be released) will be hurriedly converted
to fake-3D as ALICE IN WONDERLAND was, and marketed as "the ultimate 3D
experience". This will last about 2 years, until all major feature
productions switch over to concepting and filming in real 3D.
So it's likely the next couple years will be a dust-up of lots of 3D
hype coupled with a lot of disappointment -- pretty much like what
happened every time they've pushed 3D in the past. But, this time I
think the long-term results will be different, with true 3D production
-- concepted from story board to final edit -- emerging as the default
format for all films with any kind of real budget.

I'm a big fan of IMAX/3D to be honest. It's all about the experience
and feeling part of the movie. Avatar was absolutely amazing in 3D, In
parts I almost felt I was in a video game. Theres only certain types
of film which are good for 3D, Avatar being one of them. Alice in
Wonderland wasn't that great for the 3D experince but still enjoyed
the film. I certainly wouldn't watch It's a wondeful Life in 3D but
would love to see Star Wars on IMAX for the experience alone. It's not
for everyone though, apreciate that, some people even get motion
sickness. Whatever floats your boat I say.

Don't waste your money on Imax. No feature movies are filmed in Imax.
You are just seeing a blown up version of a movie filmed in 35mm or
digital. In fact if you saw Avatar (filmed with digital cameras) on a
real large Imax screen (not the small fake Imax screen), it was window
boxed with blank lines on all four sides of the screen. Imax is
getting to be a joke just like the old 70mm Cinerama - not real
3-strip Cinerama.

I saw Alice in Wonderland last night. It wasn't as good as some
people had told me, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some other
people had suggested (another way of saying it was that it was no
Edward Scissorhands, but it was also no Planet of the Apes).
I am a huge fan of Johnny Depp, and yet I thought he was the least
interesting part of the movie (although I was not as disappointed
by him in this as I was by his performance in Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory). The weird thing they did with his eyes was
distracting, and since you express a lot of emotion with your
eyes, it hurt that way too.
I thought the lead actress was quite good. If they wanted to make
"The Gwynneth Paltrow Story", she would make an excellent choice
to play the lead.
