Ebert: liar, liar
By the time Ebert concludes his rant he, in essence, acknowledges he may be wrong about the whole thing.
Digital Cinema Report on [US film critic] Roger Ebert’s attack on 3D.
Ebert recently wrote a cover story for Newsweek, entitled Why I Hate 3D (And You Should Too).
Could they both be right somehow?
Obviously Ebert is right. I have little patience for anyone who lists U23D as one of the greatest cinema experiences of his life. How desperate can you get?
He also completely fails to properly address the surcharge and screen darkness (“It’ll be fixed eventually, I’m sure of it!”), introduces hitherto unknown cinema information (Really? By the late 60’s many films had been shot in colour for half a decade?) and claims that 3D is new technology (it’s not, and has failed numerous times already).
Old school people always forget that the younger generation will take over. 3D is part of the future of movies, like it or not.
