So while I'm home on fall break a friend and I decided we wanted to go out and see a movie. Out of sheer impulse, we decided to see The Lion King 3D. While I do know that Disney rips off folk stories from everyone and their mother, one still can't deny that it's an amazing movie. Amazing enough to spark an award winning musical by the same name. Now I was iffy several months ago because I knew it was just an easy way the industry could make money off an old movie. But surprisingly enough, the 3D was a completely different experience. The subtle use of the 3D on the characters was incredible, but the use of 3D on foreground images was actually very distracting. It was as if there was something two-dimensional coming off the screen that you had to struggle to look past. So yes, it's technically 3D and movie theaters can charge twice as much for it, but the people who work on the use of the 3D technology need to take notice as to where it works and where it's a distraction.
But all in all, still an amazing movie. Not sure if the 3D was worth the 13 dollars, but it's still the same movie, just experienced in a different way.
