I might see this film on premiere, but I have never seen a 3d film before. Do they offer some cheap glasses at the cinema or something when you are attending it? This is the only film I am willing to spent 20 dollars on to see on premiere. (Norwegian citizen)

In germany they give you 3D glasses for 1 at the theater. I have already two laying around so i don't need to buy them again.
Avangers in 3D was rather good (from technical perspective). Always felt that other 3D films i saw were not so sharp but Avengers and Avatar where both really sharp.
If i could choose i would always choose the 2D version (paying 14 for a movie is ridiculous) but they showed Avengers only in 3D in Berlin

Non spoilery impressions please, everyone

.Are you planning on being kidnapped and locked in an underground dungeon for a week? Because that's the only thing that would keep me away for that long.

He said he was only making avatar film from now on. So forget about it. Avatar's his cash cow. Even though I can't stand the franchise, I totally understand the idea of doing more avatar films.

Will be seeing this midnight on the 8th. Got to make a decision whether to see this in Real 3D or Imax 3D.

Keeping secrecy till the end, early reviews should be here on May 29th or 30th.
He did say it but I really bet that the next few years of shooting Avatar sequels will tire him somewhat on the subject. Also he'll realize that his career would be ridiculous if he just only did Avatars from now on.
And maybe he was kidding?

Wasn't a huge fan of Aliens, but that was an awesome shot.
Badass... but it also makes the aliens look all soft and rubbery.

I'd rather he finally did Battle Angel Alita.

Will post review wednesday as soon as I see it, so pumped!
Hey New Yorkers!
The Film Society of Lincoln Center is doing a Ridley Scott retrospective this week. Good way to get hyped!

Yeah a little. But this movie is still a pretty amazing testament to practical effects. If you ever watch the making of, they explain that everything (except for a few miniature shots) was shot directly on film with no green screen, composting effects or after effects clean up.
Instead of using green screen, Cameron actually used rear projection so the actors could see what was going on behind them (he later re-used this effect in T2-3D the ride). Also, they never did go back and remove any of the puppet rods or strings after filming. That was all hidden during filming. Everything was filmed exactly how you saw it.
The Power Lifter vs Queen sequence was quite a special effects feat.

Anyone know if the change to R rating made Scott add in stuff that was previously cut? I don't want to wait months for directors cut -_-

We'll probably get an extended cut on blu ray. I think he already stated that the theatrical cut will be his director's cut.
I think he made the film he wanted to make and the rating was a consequence of that.

Going to see it on Friday, pretty excited. I've noticed there are no 2D showings of the film near me, it's all 3D.
Was this film made for 3D?

Ugh, I had no idea that this was going to be a 100% 3D affair. No 2D showings at all? That kind of kills a bit of buzz that I had to see this film in cinemas. I was really hoping for a 2D showing.
Yeah, I will probably still end up seeing it anyway...
There will be 2D showings but it was filmed in 3D.

Well hopefully the cinemas near me have 2D showings. But I will probably go see this anyway regardless, even though I am not a fan of 3D.

He shut down his production company for new scripts, etc. Seems to be pretty serious.
Cameron isn't really a Hollywood film maker, he's actually an aquanaut!

Thats good to hear that you can reuse them for another time. Yeah I would prefer if they would show a 2d version at the premiere, but I am willing to give 3d a chance since its made that way. I have heard that 3d films are very dark, so in 2d mode they still have the same darkness without the depth. So I think now is a time to give it a chance. I agree the price they are asking for it is ridiculous, but i never go to the cinema normally so I will accept it for this time being.
Have my tickets fro Thursday the 31st at 2100 CET at the Colosseum in Oslo. First showing with red carpet and everything, cant wait so see some c-list Norwegian celebs
largest THX cinema in the world, hope/sure the sound/sound track will be amazing for the film so cant frikken wait!
I will be trying to go there too. Not that I care for the celebs, but it is a nice cinema. I might pick a later day as most of the convenient seats are taken.

Dude this is Ridley Scott doing Sci-Fi in 3D. It will be good.
Isn't the new Spider-Man movie going to be getting the same treatment? I saw posters that said "ONLY IN 3D" or something. But people have enjoyed the brief 3D they've seen in trailers for both, so it'll be fine.
It was filmed in 3D but will have 2D showings. Pretty much all films that are filmed in 3D still have 2D showings.

I really need to see the Alien movies before this comes out, been meaning to watch them for ages now.
You only need to watch the first two.
EdibleExplosives
Member
Yeah I've heard the rest are pretty bad.
Before Prometheus, I would only make it a priority to see the first one.
Fixed that for you.....
I reject your fix.
EdibleExplosives
Member
Yeah I'll definitely watch the first but I don't think I'm gonna go for a couple of weeks so I should have enough free time to watch the first two anyway.
This is a new opinion on my radar! What an age we live in.
Anyway I think Cameron should intercut his Avatar films with movies about big ship disasters.
Like maybe Titanic - Avatar - Avatar 2,3 - The Sinking of the USS Maine - Bismark - Avatar 4,5,6?

So does Cameron saying he's only going to work on Avatar from now on mean no Battle Angel, ever?
I reject your reject.
Further rejection. Alien 3 is bad in any form.

No Aquaman sequel
