Yes, there was a lot of that going on in Avatar.

I know a lot of people, including a lot of critics, missed it. But trust me it's there.

I'd very much would love to put my money where my mouth is, but that would involve renting Avatar on DVD, rip it (if that's even possible), edit together all the instances of this I can find in the film, post it on YouTube for educational purposes and hope FOX doesn't sue me or YouTube doesn't ban the video and all that work goes to waste.

That's a lot of work when MARIANNE goes back into production on Monday next week and we're prepping for a three week shoot right now.

In fact, I shouldn't even be on dvxuser.

I noticed none, and actually made a note of it at the time I saw the film. There may have been cases of stuff relative to other things in the background being more in the forefront, but the old COMIN' AT YA type of stuff, where something breaks the plane of the screen until it appears only inches away from your nose was never done. I remember that stuff from the 80's, like Metalstorm 3D where someone threw a throwing star at the audience. The last time I saw it was in Beowulf, the tip of a sword being thrust at the audience.

Right there with you on that, Batutta.
 
I thought the 3D was really good in TS3 compared to Avatar. I walked out of the theater with a bit of headspin after Avatar. TS3 seemed much more subtle to me, more natural.
 
And for clarification, I saw the 3D IMAX version. Not sure if there's a difference regarding IMAX 3D vs reg 3D.
 
It was so sublte that I wonder why it was even implemented ,cough sales.. end cough,
I watch parts of it without the 3d glasses...and you could sometimes barely notice the stereo images.

Still a great movie ofcourse.
 
I really enjoyed this... can't wait till my wife and kids come home so i can take my oldest daughter to see it... she sat through avatar, how to train your dragon, and christmas carol in imax 3d... I think she'll really like this one.....

I've always really liked Pixar... they seem like the equivalent of something sculpted by hand, rather than from a mold... Their films are generally always very rich, both in animation and expression.

I thought the whole headed towards the inferno at the garbage dump towards the end was handled pretty beautifully... It was a pretty deep concept for younger audiences, yet it was presented in a way that was comprehensible to the younger audiences.... going towards, hot, hot, hot, hot.... stop fighting it... brace yourself.... for something, that ain't gonna be good.... Not articulating it well, but I thought they took a very mature concept and presented it in a way that the younger audiences can comprehend on an appropriate level.

I honestly thought that was going to be it. :crybaby:

The 3D animation is quite beautiful and the storytelling and animation are delightfully engaging. The Pixar team are true masters of their craft.
 
Cried like a *****.

But I've been doing a 3d project at work so i've been staring at 3d for a while and was surprised at how much ghosting i saw in the backgrounds.
 
I thought the 3D was an afterthought here. Added nothing to the storytelling and the movie, just like in Up!

But it was an excellent animated film. Wouldn't be surprised if they get another best film nomination with this- of course, the fact that it is a sequel and somehow "demands" the audience to know the characters might influence the academy to consider this a handicap, but I think that, storytelling wise, this Toy Story is the best of the trilogy.
 
loved it, the quality of the pixar films never stops to amaze me. This film had an engaging plot with 3d animation that while being modern it still reminded me of that first cgi feature film TOY STORY.

This is the way sequels should be.

well done pixar!

BTW, I also enjoyed the short film (called "night and Day") that they put before the film started (the 3D did wonders in this case because it really looked as if you were looking into a different world inside the characters....)

GREAT movie.

Who else was crying like a baby during the last scene? Be honest. We won't tell any one.

I was about to, but I've always been touched by movies, I'm one of those that tend to cry with movies. Sometimes I can avoid it, but I have that feeling inside, I have those tears that really wanna burst out. One of the scenes that really took tears out of me was the one where Simba founds out that his dad is dead.... what a good film by Disney that film really was a win! And pixar has brought back that feeling to the Disney name.

Watched it, loved it.

On the 3D side, the movie was actually outdone by a target ad before the movie, was rather well done.

The story, characters, animation were all exceptional. I had to hold em back a few times.
 
Hahahaha, you know the telephone car that appears in the film... I had exactly the same.. it brought some nice childhood memories back!
 
Someone must have been cutting onions at my screening, because there was uncontrollable water coming from my eyes.
It would have been awesome (and very brave) if they had ended the film before "the claw". I would have been very satisfied.
This film really delved deeper into the concept of toys being alive. It took the idea to very logical places and its eventual conclusion.

Yes.

In fact, I was 100% convinced (and heavily under the onion effect) then that it was going to end there like that.



It would have traumatized a lot of kids though.

That's the problem, I think that it would have worked for us (the ones that experienced the first one, we would have needed three buckets for all the tears but we would have understood it). But for kids, meh Disney wouldn't let them do it, it ain't their style.
