What is the 3D CONVERSION LIKE?

Onset23 · July 2011

I need to know

What is the 3d conversion like?

Im worried because ive seen several movies converted and the final product is blurry, really dark and dull!

Mamoun · July 2011

I personally like it but I believe I would have focused on more details If I was able to see it in 2d, my problem with 3d is not that the picture is blurry or dark but because I have to wear the 3d glasses over mine, so it's no really comfortable. Back to Potter: it certainly darkens the image a bit but it's not that bad, the depth of some scenes is really cool, the bank scene for example is amazing in 3d (the shot of the dragon crashing through the roof is awesome).

Final verdict: see it once in 3d as it's not cheesy and not in your face (best 3d conversion I have seen) but I recommend If possible to see it too in 2d to focus on the details and for a brighter image, which are general problems with 3d and not only with potter

I think the 3D was great! the conversion was unusually good. But thats my opinion I have nearly perfect eye sight.

blackvenom · July 2011

Some sequences were great in 3D (Voldemort disintegrating, Dragon's flight, Cart ride to the caverns, the Golden Snitch opening, Dementors) but it wasn't really needed. If anything, it darkened the image.

That's what I feel exactly about it: the added depth was really great, but the film being actually really dark is not helped by the added darkness. It's not something they could fix though, it's a general problem of 3d.

The only problem that i've heard about, is that is isn't neccesary and because of it, it is now quite bad in 2D, blurry and all that...

Wait a minute, why would it affect the 2d version?

Lord Stafford · July 2011

I'm not saying it does, but apparently to other viewers, it does. They look like cardboard cutouts in certain scenes, for instance, in the COS.

WeasleytheKing · July 2011

I've seen it in 2D and 3D and both had very clear pictures. It didn't make a huge difference, but in certain scenes the 3D looked amazing!

Seeing it again tomorrow and I'm seeing it in 3D again

Lord Stafford.

But that's illogical, the 3d version is created from the 2d one, there is no reason for the film makers to touch the 2d version in any way to enhance the 3d one.

It could be really possible that the 3d theaters here are just crappy, hmmm.

Carne · July 2011

It was so dark I missed a lot of smaller details etc. For example, I couldn't see any blood at all dripping from Greyback's mouth or on Lavender's neck etc.

I didn't notice any blood on Lav's neck too, I think I need to see it again to focus on the details.

Lord Stafford · July 2011

It's not illogical of me, i didn't say it to begin with. I'm just stating what they said, you know.

ok, I remember reading that some where too but for any body who thinks that having a 3d version affects the 2d one in any way, it's wrong.

Mac · July 2011

3D.necessary...

decarus · July 2011

I think that they don't worry about making things blend as well in the 2D version especially when the background is fake. Also some of the shots they have exist because of 3D. It does effect the 2D in that way.

I agree with what you are saying in that it doesn't effect the finished copy.

HPFan4ever · July 2011

2D is better, seen it 2 times in 2D.. 3D the 3rd time and its not as good. 2D is the best for the film

decarus · July 2011

Well i am going to see it in 2D tonight, but i may see it in 3D some other time.

byxspeaks · July 2011

here is my review http://byxbuzz.blogspot.com/2011/07/final-harry-potter-film-surprised-me-my.html

Richard · July 2011

what about imax 3D?

vraj · July 2011

Yeah what is it like in IMAX?

Accio_Log · July 2011

I am glad to hear this about the conversion from people here. I had no choice but to see it in 3D first. I'll see it in 2D soon enough so I am happy it is great both ways.

[Deleted User] · July 2011

I'm happy to see it once in IMAX 3D but all other viewings will be 2D for sure.

Good to hear that it's not bad though.

Martin1 · July 2011

I'm seeing it at midnight in 2d, next with my family in 3d, then with my friend in IMAX 3-D. After that, I'll see which was best and watch it again there, then probably see it tons of time in 2d

seamus · July 2011

I liked 3D- it wasn´t blurry, nor dark..at least in my theater..so thumbs up :-bd

blackvenom · July 2011

The 3D is good, yeah.

decarus · July 2011

Yeah if i see it in 3D then it will be imax 3D just the one time and then any other times in 2D.

Pumpkinjuice · July 2011

The 3D was mediocre to bad. It was like wearing sunglasses; it was so dark at times you could barely make out anything. It was the first live-action film I watched in 3D and it is apparent that 3D works best for animation films.

Jason · July 2011

I think it depends with theaters cause it was really well-done when I watched it.

UniversHarryPotter.c · July 2011

I saw it in 3D in Bercy (Worl Wide d projection ^^) that was my first movie in 3D and totally loved IT nothing was blurry all was perfect (even going to house with my personnal Harry Potter 3D Glasses)

Richard · July 2011

vanessa how was the movie?

marques18 · July 2011

I saw it in 3D and it was great, though some times I thought it was a little blurred like it the picture wasn't focused...

halfbloodprincefilm · July 2011

i saw it in 3D and it was great in my theater too. Very effective during the cart scene!

blackvenom · July 2011

Yeah the 3D was great in my theater, as well. The logo, the Dementors over Hogwarts, the cart ride, the dragon's flight, the protection barrier of Hogwarts, Fiendfyre, the Voldemort-shaped tsunami, the battle scenes, the Golden Snitch/Resurrection Stone, Harry and Voldemort's flight and Voldemort, Nagini and Bellatrix's disintegration looked fantastic in 3D.

byxspeaks · July 2011

it looks great in 3D...

chester · July 2011

I will probably see it again in 3D.

Vince · July 2011

My opinion is that the 3D is good, thankfully it is not overdone, but not my thing. I think I will prefer the film's artistry in 2D. 3D was mostly unnecessary; most of the film's weight was in the emotional scenes that didn't require 3D and were not enhanced by 3D and in which I did not notice the 3D at all.

chester · July 2011

The 3D at gringotts was worth the price.

True, the 3d is well done but the film simply draws you in with just the emotions not the visuals.
However, I think everybody should see it once in 3d as this chance won't be repeated again.

Vince · July 2011

So, in that respect... I don't feel it's really needed. I think the action sequences are also great, but... They would be without 3D, as well. It also depends on how much you like 3D personally. But I can't say enough how thankful I am that Yates did not overdo the 3D: that is one of my biggest pet peeves. It would have been easy to have things like rubble fly out at you all the time, but that didn't happen.

The shattered glass when the time freezing spell was used on a death eater in the battle was really cool though.

Cyber-Logic · July 2011

It was GREAT. And I wear glasses.. had to wear 3D glasses over them but it was fine.

Slantee · July 2011

It was good, but wasn't required.

buzzkill · July 2011

It was good for a post-converted 3D film!!! Topped all the other post-converted 3D films that I've seen!!!

Richard · July 2011

I dont think the movie will look that good in 3D

chester · July 2011

I dont think the movie will look that good in 3D

Gringotts looked amazing.

[Deleted User] · July 2011

Guys. It was only at my screening that the movie was REALLY dark? And when I mean REALLY dark... I couldn't even see some scenes. I had to force my eyesight and then, the scene was over. I hated watching it in 3D.

It was only at my theater or someone else experienced something like that too?

I don´t know...the movie was bright at my screening, so this is why I also enjoyed 3D...

Martin1 · July 2011

Who saw it in IMAX 3-D? How was it, I don't fancy on paying 15+ dollars for nothing...

Mamoun · July 2011

I think some theaters might have not complied to David Yates agreement of special brightness requirements for the film, that's why the 3d response is mixed.

buzzkill · July 2011

Saw it in IMAX-3D and I don't regret a single thing. The picture quality's actually good. It didn't hurt my eyes. I'm wearing eyeglasses, btw. I'm planning to see it again in Digital 3D and conventional 2D over the next few days.

What is the 3D CONVERSION LIKE?
