With Dark of the Moon just being released 3D may not be a dead duck after all. Due to the movie being filmed using real 3D cameras and not done in post production it is one of the 3D films that is worth watching in the cinema. That is if you're convinced by 3D. Someone other than James Cameron that certainly is convinced is George Lucas. He is planning on releasing all six of the magnificent Star Wars movies in the cinemas in 3D starting with the Phantom Menace in 2012. This means we get to go the cinema and again marvel at the Sith, the Jedi and incredibly cool space battles. Here are the moments that I can't wait to see in 3D.
The prequel films were filmed using so much digital technology that if any films can be converted properly then it's these. I am saying that with pretty much no knowledge of how 3D and films works though so don't take my word for it.
In Phantom there are some fantastic moments that I'm looking forward to. The pod race will be absolutely mind blowing in 3D. Watching Darth Maul light up his double edged light sabre will be something. It will be cool to see what a light sabre battle looks like in 3D. And of course, who could forget Jar Jar Binks. Seeing that loveable misfit going into a battle should be pretty special.
In Attack there are lots of moments to choose from. The speeder chase through Coruscant, Jango Fett in 3D, the Battle of Geonosis. A digital Yoda flying through the air in the climactic battle is another favourite for me.
In Revenge the main thing I'll be looking forward to is the space battle above Coruscant at the start of the film. Obi Wan and Anakins lightsabre duel will look brilliant in 3D.
As for the old Star wars trilogy? Well no one really liked them anyway so I doubt they will be big hits in 3D. We all know that's nonsense. Seeing Darth Vader, Han and Chewie, The Millenium Falcon, The Death Star, Star Destroyers and the speeder bike chase in 3D. There's a good chance my head will explode. One of the problems with 3D for me though is that after about ten minutes into the film the novelty wears off and I'm left watching a darkly lit movie with glasses on. The classic trilogy has been watched countless times by fans so it will be a good test to see whether we notice the difference or not.
