Well, I'll have to check it out... I wonder what the additional surcharge will be on top of the ETX/3D/Atmos surcharge.

Good to know. I'll keep it in mind. Is that Wednesday I'm assuming. Yes, I'll check this one out in XD3D if I can. Cinemark's XD3D looks pretty awesome.

Good to see. Cinemark's 3D says it projects "Brighter is better" and it looks like they deliver on it each time I see a Cinemark 3D film.

GI Joe Retaliation 3D in theaters March 28th, 2013. This Thursday, early screenings Wednesday night probably.

[DavidGQ]

I wish there's a Cinemark near me because they're giving a cool 3D glasses for tomorrow showing If you can pick up an extra glasses, plmk.

I am going to a private screening tomorrow night so will give review when I get back.

normally i am not impressed with youtube 3d, but this one is STRONG! Cant imagine how the actual move would be like!

DavidGQ, Thanks for the news on the 3D glasses special from Cinemark.

If GI Joe Retaliation's 3D lives up to the 4 minute special trailer and other 3D trailers, it's going to be the conversion of the year IMO, standing alongside the strong 3D of Titanic.

Two days to go. Thanks also for posting the 3D trailer Srinivas1015.

Just came back from the private screening and....

The movie is really good, so much better than the first. As for 3D, traffics were bad so I sat in the front row which is not good at all for 3D viewing so I can't give you a feedback on that. But there are few really good 3D scenes without going into any spoilers.

So yeah, go see it this weekend if you guys can.

Bummer about the heavy traffic on your way to the theater. Yes, the front row is the worst row to see a movie if it's a few feet from the giant screen above. First time I saw Jurassic Park(as one example) in 1993 or so, I sat one row back from the front row, all the way on the left side of the fully packed theater, and had the worst neck strain. I can imagine that would definitely distort the 3D also. Good to hear it's an improvement over GI Joe 1. Thanks.

Cool. Will check it out tomorrow. Thanks Nommag. I hope they have enough special GI Joe 3D glasses to go around.

Channing Tatum, from the first GI Joe, is in the first 10% of the movie. The movie's star is The Rock, followed by Storm Shadow and Ray Park's Snake Eyes. Bruce Willis only plays a few scenes sadly.

3D: Strong in most shots. Some medium 3D but no weak 3D.
The 3D in GI Joe Retaliation lived up to my high expectations. Strong throughout and one of the best 3D Conversions I've seen in cinema. Awesome job. Every shot looked great in 3D, with plenty of distance between the 3D layers, and nice 3D sculpting on the faces. Barely caught the slightest sign of minor warping (around the edge of a 3D layer character) in two quick shots in the whole movie. Credits included Digital Domain. ILM for the 2D effects.


Story was interesting, great action. The scene that stole the show IMO was the Snake Eyes mountain assault. The action and 3D were amazing.

Previews in 3D:
Star Trek Into Darkness: Great 3D
World War Z: Great 3D. They still haven't showed a single zombie's face yet. I wouldn't even know this was a zombie movie if I didn't know about the book.
WOLVERINE 3D: Great 3D. This looks cool.
... and a couple others I've seen before. Seems 3D conversion technology has advanced significantly in the past year.

Agreed ! Definitely one of the very best conversions yet! It had an amazing amount of attention to detail in the 3d conversion.

Also the all the 3d trailers I got looked great. Wolverine in particular impressed me in 3d World War Z was really impressive despite the conversion looking a little warpy in places. And Star Trek looks awesome in 3d! I totally agree with you that 3d conversion technology has advanced quickly Such a great year to be a 3d fan!

Yeah, Wolverine I wasn't expecting to see, and it looks very cool. Along with the impressive 3D.

How did you like the Snake Eyes scene on the mountains? Lots of pop outs that made me flinch back, and the 3D layers were super strong. Lady Jaye was a highlight of the movie also.

I was glad Cobra Commander

[Show spoiler]got his reflective face shield this time which looked cool, but now he just needs more personality as in the original cartoon series, with that high pitched raspy voice. I'll admit some of the dialog one liners were cheesy, but the movie didn't take itself too seriously, so no big deal. I wish Bruce Willis had a bigger role and I miss seeing an army of Cobra Troops to fight an army of GI Joes, which was missing this time it seemed, replaced with the secret service under Cobra's command.

Another blasted 2D to 3D conversion. I'm getting sick of these. It was filmed on Super 35 so it should stay that way.

Anyone see Jurassic parks 3D trailer? Made me want to check it out now.

Didn't see it before GI Joe's previews, but saw it before and the 3D in the re-release of Jurassic Park looks strong. Not weak like most poor conversions of the past.

As far as GI Joe's 3D? Strong 3D. Not a quick, tacked on, weak 3D cash in.

Watch the 2D version then

Almost every conversion that comes out these days looks as good as or BETTER than native titles. One might say that it's blasphemy to convert older movies like Jurassic Park but I don't see what the problem is if a movie is framed and shot with 3D conversion in mind .

In fact, converting a movie instead of using 3D rigs has a few advantages too. For one, the offset of light reflected into the two cameras isn't a concern. You see this phenomenon in quite a few native titles where the reflected light off of objects looks a little 'off'/weird/appears to be on two different depth planes as a result of each camera in the rig capturing reflected light from a slightly different angle and then both images imposed on one another. I noticed this a lot in Dredd and Resident Evil Afterlife. I can't remember the other titles.
Converting also offers a lot of freedom. Once a native title is shot, the inter-axial distance between the two cameras in the rig is final and no amount of post production work can adjust the degree of spatial dimension.
It's much easier for the DP to light the sets too. Not to mention giving the director and cameraman to do the camerawork without being restricted by the bulky rigs.

With all these benefits and a final product that looks as good as a native title, I can see why many filmmakers opt to take the conversion route. It's not an afterthought as most directors and storyboard artists frame and do the camerawork with 3D in mind.

Parallel Rigs, Fusion Rigs or Conversions - All are effective ways to get a good three dimensional image. (Parallel rigs are in fact slightly inferior as the degree of how close you can get the interaxial distance between the cameras, especially for close ups, is quite limited due to the nature of the setup.)
