Inception (2010) Never in 3D - Blu-ray Forum

Inception in 3D?

Sources report Warner is considering converting Inception for 3D for HBO 3D pay per view and if so almost certainly for 3D Blu-Ray later. Inception was a pretty great movie with one of the most brilliant scripts in motion picture history. There are many moments that would work great in 3D. However after Clash of the Titans turned out Im concerned that the home 3D market doesn't have the payback for a quality 3D conversion so Im afraid Warner will go cheap. Hopefully this will turn out Ok.

It was made in 2d, so therefore I will choose to watch it in 2d. It would be interesting to see though if they could actually do a descent conversion (which has yet to happen imho).

bmogav · 09-28-2010, 02:08 AM

just keep it in 2D damn why can't people leave great things alone

The Nightmare Before Chirstmas
Alice in Wonderland
and G-Force

Are all examples of more then decent conversions buddy

Conversions are a viable form of 3D that if done right nearly equal Native 3D productions. I welcome an Inception conversion if it can be done right but if they decide to do it half ass they would be better off doing nothing at all

I dont see how 2d to 3d can be good... buddy...

Its like all the buzz over upconverted dvd when blu-ray/hddvd was starting out. If the data isnt there you cant just magic it up.

You cant polish a turd.

QFT, however Mythbusters has proven that you can, in fact, polish a turd.

I'll be happy to have Inception on a nice 2d blu-ray. I'm confident that if Christopher Nolan would have wanted it in 3d, he'd have made it that way.

I think if you had enough time and energy you can polish a turd.

Either then for alice in wonderland's cgi (which was real 3d), all of thoise examples had very average at best 3d. The best conversion I have seen was for harry potter 5 (around 20 minutes where converted to 3d for imax), and even that had nothing on nativly shot 3d films. G-Force looked horid, and The Nightmare Before Christmas was okay at best.

I don't think any conversion could equal the quality of a Native 3D experience. I've heard some complain about Alice and G-Force's 3D so they aren't perfect. Maybe decent, but I haven't actually viewed them in 3D.

If WB is serious about this conversion, then I'm quite interested in how they'll shoot the Paradox scene... it seems like it would be impossible to do that in 3D.

It can be done, just convert it as a moving staircase.

sega3dmm · 11-11-2010, 12:35 AM

That is wrong. 3D is the last thing Christopher Nolan wants in Inception, which was not a all-digital 4K 3D film like Avatar. It was filmed in partial 65mm (with some 35mm/digital elements) and in stunning 2D! Warner Bros., I feel, is starting to get greedy.

Lovemy3D · 11-22-2010, 05:53 AM

kind of interesting article.

Nne of avatar was done at 4k. It was made at 2K.

I don't know why anyone consumer would be against this film being converted to 3D. Who says anyone will be forced to view it in 3D? If you don't want to see it in 3D, simply don't purchase it in 3D. At one point in time people were saying the same thing about old movies being converted to color. I always thought if people didnt want to see those films in color, simply turn down the color on their sets, or buy the original. As consumers we have options...

Zurom · 01-10-2011, 04:41 PM

Yea, Inception is fine the way it is to be honest. Some movies either A) Just don't need it or B) Wouldn't take full advantage of 3D's full capabilities

So, if they DO release a 3D version, it wouldn't be pure 3D I'd imagine and would be a wasteful investment.

Question A couldn't be more irrelevent. No home theatre enhancement is nessesary. Is high definition nessesary. No. Is color nessesary. No. Would you dispense with these as well. NO.

Question B is relevent and if Inception is converted to 3D it should be done with time and care and with permission of the movies filmmakers.
