If anything the whole process was a distraction. There were two, maybe three, instances where the 3D effect was noticeable, and even those instances didn’t really add to my engagement in the film. In fact for most of the film it was barely apparent there was any 3D at all. What does that approach give you? A lousy 3D experience. Adding 3D to the title was an afterthought and done in the post production stage. The movie was recorded with a standard movie camera and shot with the understanding that the result was going to be presented in 2D. None of those elements were present for Harry Potter. Never.Ī true 3D movie is shot with a camera system designed specifically for that task-it involves two lenses (one for each eye) and a director and camera crew knowledgeable of 3D film making. The trouble is the movie was never meant to be in 3D. But part two allowed them more time, so it was released in 3D. What went wrong? You may already know that the makers of Harry Potter DH Part 1 had entertained the idea of releasing that movie in 3D, but decided against it at the last minute due to a lack of time to make the conversion. Unfortunately most of them walked out of the theater with much the same thought as I had: “good movie, but terrible 3D.” I don’t have the information on how many of those opening weekend people went to see the 3D version, but it had to be a lot. The new Harry Potter movie broke opening sales records by millions. It raked in huge box office results and got people more excited over 3D than anything before or since. Many analysts believe that the best thing to happen to the 3D TV market was James Cameron’s Avatar. I say this so you know I went into the experience willingly expecting magic. When I was an early teenager I was obsessed with Tolkien, Dungeons and Dragons and Conan the Barbarian (the Robert E. After watching the movie through the collectors’ 3D glasses (shaped a little like Harry Potter’s glasses), I left very disappointed in the experience and convinced that everything Avatar did for 3D was just dismantled by Harry Potter.įirst, let’s get this out of the way-I am a Harry Potter fan. Despite my arguments against it, we opted for the 3D showing (because my kids insisted). At 10:45 PM last Thursday I drove my family to a local cinimaplex to stand in line with gaggles of wannabe Hogwarts students for the big opening of the last installment of the Harry Potter saga.
