Gravity has been the only 3D movie I've seen where it felt worthwhile. This could be a me problem, though.

Say what you want about the movie itself but the 3D in Avatar was great Mostly because it was all about depth and very rarely about gimmick foreground stuff

I remember The Martian had really good 3D, they utilised it well in landscape shots of Mars. That and Gravity are the only movies I really remember caring about it.

Finally saw the fifth episode. I liked it quite a bit. It's a nice chunk of classic Star Wars space fantasy leaning heavily into the fantasy. I liked seeing Anakin behave like he did in the Clone Wars versus whatever the gently caress he was doing in the prequels. I agree with folks who say the CW battles, for all their minimalism, felt more appropriate than the prequel stuff. It felt consistent with CW and Rebels, even though I still don't dig the Hera casting. It was prettay, prettay, prettay good. Yeah, it's not believable or visceral in the way Andor was, but it was most definitely a decent cut of USDA SW, a B+ in a series of C-. Plus, it was nice to see Ahsoka lighten up a bit.

I'm going toss my hat into the ring and say I've been enjoying the show as someone who didn't watch the cartoons. Actually, I just started watching Clone Wars because of this show. As someone who's watched all of Star Trek Discovery and Picard, I grade my Star Shows on a curve and in that regard I think most of the live action Star Wars stuff has ranged from mediocre at worst, to something I'm actually excited to watch. I loved the tension building in Andor and it was full of great performances. The last two episodes of Ahsoka have started grab me as well. Unrelated to storylines or characters, I think live action Star Wars does their visuals incredibly well. I've always thought the new Trek shows looked ugly. I know it's petty and nerdy but modern Trek still does that things where all of space is a vomitorium of colors and the post processing guy is still in love with the "dirty camera lens and flare" filters. I know, it's such a dumb thing to complain about, but Star Wars just looks beautiful in comparison.

What really honks me off about 3D, is the brain geniuses who decided to release Dredd only in 3D. Predictably, it did poorly and we were denied at least one, maybe two by now, sequels. I do want to see it in 3D though, that is a beautiful film.

It's used as an extra layer of cinematography where you are looking at things in the depth as you would in real life. Most other things are just a gimmick. I half all of Avatar 2 ignoring the foreground and looking around in the background due to it.

I know, it's such a dumb thing to complain about, but Star Wars just looks beautiful in comparison. My biggest beef with the visuals in new Trek shows is they can keep the camera still. They pan and zoom and whirl around the set constantly. Even in shots with two characters sitting down, they manage to pan right and left, creating some kind of parallax effect that reminds of me old NES Ninja Gaiden games. It's actually okay to occasionally just have two characters in a room talking from two ends of a table or in shot-reverse shot. But the camera can't stay still and the music constantly swelling the background. It's like, take it down a notch. Maybe I'm an old dork, but I miss characters just having rich conversations in a simple room. I was never into Trek because of the visual razzle dazzle. A lot of SW live action overuses Volume and often looks kind of weightless. But at least they hold a shot for more than 5 seconds and utilize some basic blocking and offer cohesive, trackable action. It almost looks classical in comparison. Love Rat fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Sep 16, 2023 |

Most other things are just a gimmick. That's what I was going to say. Avatar used 3D to create depth and distance. Everyone else uses it to make things jump out. Stuff coming off the screen is gimmicky and fake. Avatar looks so flat in 2D when you don't have the appearance of altitude or height.

There is a very specific look to Star Wars stuff that's important to get right and it really sticks out when they don't. Some of it is the stuff that gets brought up a lot, like the wipes or the "used universe" aesthetic, but there's a je ne sais quoi where, if you nail it, like half the work of the scripting and acting is done for you.

It's kinda funny since a common complaint is 'Star Trek looks like Star Wars now'. Phasers being blasters, for example. Or the recent example of (Picard Spoilers) the USS Enterprise doing a trench run on a Borg cube, blowing up the giant glowing weak point in the middle, thus destroying the Borg forever and winning. I also think there's something to be said for deliberately echoing the camera work that both Star Wars and Star Trek were forced into by the use of miniatures in space scenes. There were pretty strict limits to the amount you could play spin the camera, in order to avoid showing the armatures. Lucas did kind of break this rule in Ep III, but the camera work was still pretty deliberate rather than being hurried or aggressive.

Avatar 2 is the only movie I've seen where I felt the 3D really added anything (including Avatar 1). Pity about the insane frame rate shifts. Dexo posted:Think it's fine to just watch it in release order. Release order is fine. A lot of the chronological order changes either do nothing or split up things that were intended to air together for thematic/narrative reasons. It does make a few bits flow better but it's a wash overall.

There's literally no point to the chronological order if you know that it was released non-chronologically.

If you watch chronological order you'd have to watch like ten episodes in a row set on Christophsis. Just watch release order, it's fine.

The one time I think chronological order helps a bit is at the end of S1/beginning of S2. S1 ends on a great episode about a Cad Bane plot that ties back to the movie. It works well as a season finale, especially because it ends with a clear setup for a future story. The problem is that S2 starts with Cad Bane pulling off a different scheme that doesn't follow on from that. It would be fine if you had a several month gap between seasons but if you are just letting Disney autoplay it feels a bit weird to see them back to back. But it's not a huge deal.

I'm watching the Ahsoka show and man these people have a problem with just spelling out the bottom line problems. It's good popcorn fun but it bugs me. Just tell Sabine that there's darksiders in play after the map, and you want to be nearby so she doesn't get lightsaber'd instead of vague platitudes about importance. And that crap with the Senators! You have nine missing SSD hyperdrive motivators in the wind. That's a fuckton of heavy metal some imperial rear end in a top hat now has in play as far as you and them know. That's plenty of motive to dispatch a fleet in the name of keeping the Empire's remnants nice and suppressed and not unifying around, say, nine SSDs. Don't talk about ~Grand Admiral Thrawn~ like some conspiracy nut, talk about how somebody's snookered everybody with big new ships. The New Republic of all people know how many capital ships can be built without control of the big shipyards.
