Has anyone seen a movie that uses the "Real 3D" process? - Page 2

I saw Journey To The Center of The Earth in 3-D last night. They had previews of two 3-D animated films that will be released this fall. I think one of them was Bolt but I don't remember the other title. Journey looked great in 3-D and it was a free preview.

There's one about some puppies (or some cute animal) going up into space. It looked about as tolerable as the resent Chipmunks movie looked.

That was one of them.

I'm interested in seeing Journey to the Center of the Earth, my theatre has it listed as being in 3-D. I am concerned about eye strain, the last 3-D movie I saw was Jaws 3-D and it really bothered my eyes, I could barely even watch the Captain Eo ride at Disneyland without getting a headache. Is this even a concern with Real D?

I saw Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D today - fun movie. There was one 3D trailer before it, called "Fly Me To The Moon" a cartoon about flies that go on the first lunar mission.

I saw Meet The Robinsons in 3D last year, and the glasses were very comfy over my eyeglasses.

My Mother and I both had eyestrain or headache problems with the 3D flicks of the 80's, (especially Jaws 3d!) and the depth effects were not so hot. (I don't any theater had things calibrated properly back then.)

Neither of us suffered any eyestrain with MTR, and were very impressed with the depth of the images.

is RealD the same thing they used for the Sega Master console system games like 20 years ago? anyone remember Space Harrier?

I've seen two Real-D films - Beowulf and U2:3D. Absolutely no problems with eyestrain or anything like that, the images are clear and in their proper colour. If there's a film you're interested in that is available in 3D, I recommend it.

That said, not everyone may be okay with the process. When I went to see Beowulf, as I was leaving, I put my hand on the handrail and there was something sticky on it. I quickly moved my hand, but it felt like there was still something on my hand. I lifted my hand towards my face to try and see what it was in the low light, and the smell of vomit hit me. Someone hand clearly tried to run out of the cinema, failed, and as they were reaching the end of the row thrown up over the curtain and handrail. And then I put my hand right on that spot.
Did I mention it was my 30th birthday?

I regularly wear glasses and I didn't have any problem with the ones that were given out for Journey to the Center of the Earth. They fit nicely over my regular glasses and stayed in place the whole time. No Complaints here at all.

I didn't experience any eye strain or headache effects at all...very pleasant experience overall, I found.

I saw a commercial tonight that mentioned 3-D glasses being sold at Walmart for an upcoming television event. We own a 57" television; would glasses such as these actually change our viewing experience substantially? My children are looking forward to the film, and since I've never used 3-D glasses before, I have little knowledge of what they can do to one's perception of a film shown on a television. Thoughts?
