Saw the 3d Extended Trailer tonight on Wrath of the Titans 3d. Prometheous, as well as the new MIB, The Hobbit and Lock-Out trailer (another sci-fi for Guy Pearce by the way!) I must say that Prometheus looks gorgeous in 3-d. Eye candy galore! I can't wait! The imagery is just breath taking! My favorite out of the entire clip was of Shaw in her cryo. The depth of the "tube" in glowing yellow, the shimmering lights and streaming font of the 'tech' look really sharp. Just thought I'd share the news! So excited! Too bad the glasses suck! Why don't we have wrap around glasses by now?! The frames just hinder the view too much! I want to look up better glasses on the net before June. Any good links? Please share!

i just posted a [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2817]discussion about the 3-D[/url] not too long ago. I totally agree man this movie looks amazing and as soon as i saw it in epic 3-D it blew me away. I highly recommend seeing Wrath just for the 3-D prometheus trailer it is way bad ass.

Nice Why Don't They! Will 3d work with a 3d blue ray player and a non 3d HD? Just wondering?

mw3, I completely agree. The day Prometheus comes out I plan on seeing it in 3d, as well as 2d for sure. For sure. 2d will hopefully give the film that olde school feel. Just keep in mind that it was filmed with 3d tech... so it should be pretty both ways....

@mw3 - Sorry, 3-D is here to stay just as long as there's an option for 2-D.

Well, I am hoping to turn this thread into a good link for those of us who want to purchase "better" 3d glasses than the theater offers. I will do some research and post my findings here. In all hopes, I want to find a pair that "wraps" around your face to give the viewer a better way to see 3d films. Please, by all means help me out! If this item does not exhist, maybe some of your inventors out there should get on this mission! Hint hint! lol

Not sure if 3-D is gonna be adopted by the masses. There's a large group of people actively staying away from 3-D films. I will see one from time to time, but for the most part stay away from them. I also have several friends that won't see any movie in 3-D. I'm not seeing Prometheus for the first time in 3-D, but may see the second viewing in it if people say its worth it. It seems also if the screen isn't properly adjusted the picture can be quite dark and it's said films that are very dark the 3-D doesn't come across that well.

there is supposed to be alternative to the Real3D system, don't know the name right now, that has a much better brightness. If I find the name, I'll edit my post Edit: The two systems are RealD and Panavision 3D. The Panavision one is supposed to be much brighter. Problem is, RealD has a head start and a bigger foothold in the market. They are testing both systems on the public with Titanic 3D in Cali. Hopefully, the better tech will win out, but I wouldn't hold my breath

thanks Jim... but no banana. Those frames are still very 'rayban' if you will. I'm thinking more of visor! (Yes, i would wear a large 3d visor! lol) The director pair look the best from this site, with a larger lens. Still, I hope to find what I'm looking for. We shall see... (drum roll!)

The human eye is not physically capable of processing the images to your brain the way people think. It actually causes lots of problems. Why do you think there are 3 pages worth of warnings with 3D TVs and game systems etc etc.......... Personally, I feel like throwing up when I watch anything in 3D. 2D I'm fine with, even if it's the exact same thing I was watching in 3D.

Nicely said Cypher. I agree with everyone here, 2d is my favorite. Like tonight for example, I went to see Wrath of the Titans in 3d, and my eyes had to adjust for awhile after the movie. From time to time just watching Wrath, I had to take the glasses off to rub my eyes. All in all, 3d is a fad to where if it doesn't improve soon, it will die off again like the red/blue lens glasses. I would like to make a strong comment again about how pretty the 3d trailer was for Prometheus, but how often will I have to give my eyes a "break?" Exactly why I plan on seeing it in 2d for the most part. Jim, if you find that source for new 3d tech, please post it here! Thanks!

I totally agree about hating 3D......I can't stand it...it's a gimmick and it drives me up the wall will the watering eyes and the rubbing... That said....I do want to see 'Prometheus' in 3D once after I see it in 3D, just to compare the experiences as I've always been a proponent of experiencing filmas it was intended, on the big screen, in widescreen format, etc..and because it was filmed in 3D, I want to give just this film that one chance.....it's 'Prometheus'....

The other issue with 3-D is it can give me headaches sometimes and others also. I think it has more of a chance of taking off if they can do away with the glasses. I'm more impressed with the IMAX format. I think if more films were filmed in the IMAX format they would be more popular than 3-D.

Cinefan, I completely got a headache tonight as well. Maybe if my eyes were more used to watching 3d all the time they could adjust? Anyways, I don't think we should turn this thread into a total 3d discussion, it'd would never end!!!!! Keep to the glasses! I want a helmet with a huge 3d glass plate on it! Bah! lol

Perhaps the 2d will be our favorite in the long run?
