I think Avatar opened the door to the future of movies. The future looks like this:

We get theater movies, huge visual spectacles (3D spectacles may be optional) that take advantage of the size of the screen, the volume, the sound system, in clever cases even the background noise and the fact that you're likely to see the movie only once and not freeze frame or rewind.

On the other hand we get made for home video movies, probably maintaining the level of production value expected of movies today, but made to be watched in the comfort of home: Longer, more in-depth, taking advantage of the spacious BR discs. Possibly they'll even forego the lowest common denominator and try to make movies particularly interesting to a narrow demographic, although I can't think of a compelling reason for that to happen. Maybe people just have more time to watch different movies at home than they do in theaters. I know I spend a lot more time home. . .

Anyway, we'll go to the theaters to give our eyes orgasms and satisfy the reptile brain, and take home movies with deeper meaning that encourage thought. Of course 90% of everything will still be crap, but I'm hopeful.

On topic, well, one thing about the theater movies is that there won't be a lot to say about them. Just like this one.

The future of movies sounds a lot like the past of movies.

Yeah, but even more so!

Actually the past is completely lacking big-budget movies made for DVD. I'm hoping this market gap will be filled as people figure out what kinds of movies actually benefit artistically from being played on the big screen and what doesn't.

@Fifth: Indeed.

3D was going to happen to everything, and was already, regardless of how many ~~smurfs~~ ~~native Americans~~ blue people got thrown onto the big screen. This is the expected progression of movies given the years we've been having for quite some time.

3D will become a big deal for a little while, then go away for a little while, back and forth for quite some time, I expect.

Aerozord · 05-06-2010, 01:24 PM

yea but they tried the 3D thing a few times over the decades, not like its new technology. I dont think things have changed enough that 3D will catch on now because its basically the same thing

It'll probably gain more foothold once home 3D systems stop being so expensive and don't need glasses anymore. Because I read this article on a TV that you didn't need glasses for for the 3D to work. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ithout-glasses

Basically, it's like those 3D novelty cards and such with the rough surface. Otherwise, the standard seems to be needing electronic glasses that sync up with the refresh rate of the TV and alternate blacking out the vision in each eye in time with the TV displaying the image that that eye is supposed to see.
