Superman Returns — 

I am not really going to talk about the movie itself much since I don't want to ruin anything for anyone. As much as I was interested in the movie itself, I was also way interested in seeing the highly touted new generation of 3D technology. For anyone who doesn't know, the movie was shot in regular 2D but then 20 minutes of it were converted to 3D. The only real trouble was that it was a little blurry at times, especially when there was a lot of fast motion on the screen. The other distracting thing was that when the little pictures of glasses flashed onto the screen (yeah, they really did do that) you could see some sort of lens change happen. This also happened when the movie switched back to 2D. Actually the best 3D was during the previews for The Ant Bully and something with a bear in it. Both were cg and looked freakin great! The trouble with Superman (I hope) was that since it was retro fitted it didn't always work right, I can remember one part where his head looked just a fraction too far from his shoulders. Anyway, since the cg previews already had the depth built into them there was no conversion process. The bottom line is that the new 3d pretty much kicks ass when it is done right. If you get the chance to see Superman Returns in IMAX 3D, take it. The movie was a good time, the visuals (both 2 and 3D) were amazing, there was lots of action, a cool cameo (sort of) appearance, and even some plot thrown in for fun. Oh and Superman totally kissed Lex Luthor on the lips, cause, you know, he's gay now.
