PotC4 in 3D
Jul. 18th, 2011 09:39 pmThe Little Lady and I went to see PotC4 today, in 3D -- that was the only version still on, anyway. This was the first movie I've seen where the 3D didn't distract from the story or jar with the cinematography.
What struck me as especially interesting was how alive and real the fabrics seemed. Rich soft velvets, woollen coats on the soldiers and sailors, the canvas sails on the ships: - they all seemed so much more tangible than on normal film. That was an effect I really hadn't been expecting. There were a few other nice gimmicks to make full use of the 3D technology, but this I found most impressive.
