Underwhelmed by 3D conversion

From ““Titans” director underwhelmed by 3D conversion” (emphasis added),

Q. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE 3D CONVERSION? THERE’S BEEN A

LOT OF TALK THAT IT’S NOT UP TO SNUFF.

A. Well, what did you think? Be honest.

Q. WELL, TO ME, IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A VIEW-MASTER.

A. (laughs) It’s funny, that is one of the things I was saying to them. Don’t make it so much like a ViewMaster — so … so puffied up. Listen, it was not my intention to do it in 3D; it was not my decision to convert it in 3D. [Kempton: very honest comments.] Now, people love 3D. People will go see it in 3D, and it will play in 3D; it’s like a ride.

If you love 3D and the studio is giving you the opportunity to see it in 3D, go see it in 3D. If you don’t like 3D, don’t go see it in 3D.

Conversions, they all look like this. “Alice in Wonderland” looks like this. Remember the technology was not ready, so it’s Warner Bros saying we are giving you the best of what we can do.

note: Money talks. Titans director seemed to have not much say when it comes to 3D conversion.
