Movies you just recently watched

I don't know if it is something to adjust to or not. Makes me curious.

[Master]

Indeed, I guess time will tell, for now, we best move off here, as we're derailing the thread.

I don't really like wearing special glasses just for 3D. Plus I already wear eye glasses, so I don't imagine it would be comfortable wearing two. I have no 3D TV, but meh. Doesn't matter.

I generally don't prefer 3D either, but the glasses are obviously designed with the thought that a large amount of the population already wears glasses. In short, they fit perfectly and I can't even tell they're there on top of my regular glasses.

So they don't add much weight either?

[Adsolution]

Nope, they're made of this very light plastic material. Basically, there is literally nothing comfort-wise to complain about when wearing then, as you forget they're even there almost instantly.

To expand upon what I said earlier about 3D: While 80% of the time I'll turn it down if the option presents itself (mostly because I have incredibly poor depth perception already, and the glasses do wash out the colours a small bit), some movies truly are worth seeing in 3D, and unlike the 3DS' 3D, it's totally easy on the eyes.

[Reese Riverson]

I guess I'm just used to thinking how annoying those paper 3D glasses were... they REALLY bugged my eyes..

[Adsolution]

Ahah, no, they've long since passed that crap by. I'd genuinely encourage you to try out seeing a modern 3D movie in the theatre because it's really quite fine, even if you don't prefer it because it usually costs a couple bucks extra and washes the colours out a bit. The effect itself is also 9004x better than it used to be.

[Reese Riverson]

Hmm, so you get to buy the glasses to keep, so you arn't wearing ones someone else used?

[Master]

Hehe, I remember the first 3D thing I saw, which was Spy Kids 3, they came with these card glasses with red and cyan coverings for the 3D effect.

Yep, this is exactly what I have, and I hated those glasses with a passion.

[Master]

I was a very young kid when we saw that, it was kinda cool to me, but I think I was more for the 2D then, though 3D in those days were more primitive anyways.

[Reese Riverson]

Oh sure, but even as a kid those bugged me. Oh, and fun fact... those glasses for SpyKids 3D work on Minecraft too.

[Master]

They'd work with anything which uses the Cyan and Red 3D scheme, I think YouTube videos can employ it too.

[Reese Riverson]

They can? I never knew... or I did, and didn't care enough to remember.

[Master]

Yeah, if you still have them, try testing them out by looking up a 3D video on Youtube.

[Reese Riverson]

Is that one of those things that make 2D into 3D?

[Adsolution]

Well, sort of. All the glasses handed out are brand new in a sealed plastic bag ( http://www.primefocusworld.com/sites/de ... lasses.jpg ) (they hand them out with your ticket if you're paying for a 3D movie, which, for reference, cost about $2-3 more than a regular movie), and they ask you to drop them in a recycling bin they have placed outside the screen room afterward. of course, that doesn't stop you from just keeping yours, as they make good collector's items; I have about 50-60 pairs of 3D glasses in my drawer.

[Master]

50-60? That's a lot of 3D movie viewings, the amount of 3D movies I've watched are probably lower than 10 in total.

[Reese Riverson]

Wow, what do you plan to do with all those, Ad?

[Adsolution]

No idea, but probably something funny. My brother last year for Halowe'en wore all his pairs (about 20-30) on top of each other, taped together. It looked hilarious.
