The Top 3D Films Thus Far

By Sam Pinkerton


We've watched the experiments through the years, while they tinkered with this and that, and finally they seem to have perfected 3D technology.

There are so any ways that 3D technology can be used to heighten our enjoyment of major events and also movies. An extra layer is added to the film to make us feel as if we are really there, and we feel as if we can reach out and touch it.

The recent phenomenal success of Avatar can't have escaped anyone's notice. Even if you haven't seen it; you can't have failed to see the trailers and been impressed by the technology. This is going to improve even further and we can only imagine what we will be seeing in the future.

I'm going to quickly tell you which 3 movies made in 3D are the best in my opinion. Have a look at them and see if you agree with me. If you have already seen them you will know what I'm talking about.

A fine example of how the 3D technology could be used in a completely new medium is the U2 concert. This made us all feel as if we were there in front row seats. For those of us who couldn't get there in person, this sure was the next best thing.

The quality of the sound and visuals are second to none. Everyone I spoke to who were lucky enough to see this felt exactly the same as I did. When you consider how few tickets for events like this actually go on sale, the sheer volume of people that more of these would attract is incredible.

2007 saw the release of Beowulf. This film had to be watched with the glasses on. The ordinary version which you watched normally was really nothing very special.

The 3D version, however, was simply stunning. The visual effects blew you away and it was praised by cinema goers and critics alike. The movies released since have more than likely taken a lot of inspiration from Beowulf.

"And the winner of the 2010 Academy award for best picture is........ " Avatar, as far as I'm concerned. Don't get me started on those who keep saying it's a cartoon; this is a 3D technological triumph, which deserves all its plaudits and should provide James Cameron with yet another few Oscars for his mantelpiece.
