Just seen Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 2D having been disappointed with 3D films we've seen recently (Pirates of the Caribbean being one) and feeling that the 3D effect didn't add anything to the film for the extra £10 it costs.
Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 was good but we found that in a number of places the 2D picture was fuzzy; whether this was a problem with the cinema projection or some artefact from the 2D/3D conversion process we were unsure. The picture for parts of the 2D Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 did actually look like the 3D version. My 11 year old son also noticed it so it wasn't just me.
The verdict of reviews has been that the 3D version of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 doesn't add anything to the film and the general dark tones through the film actually makes it very hard to view in 3D so I think we made the right choice seeing the 2D version of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2.

It was worse in 3D
ReplyDeleteI suspect the bits you thought were in 3D were the same bits that I was thinking looked terrible, as if there were several layers of the same image that didn't line up
