Could we start a list of known movie releases that were converted to 3D instead of being filmed in native 3D. I hate them and I don't want to waste money on them. Now that 3D is becoming more lucrative many titles are being rushed through a conversion process to generate higher ticket prices. So let's start a list. Here are some I know of: Titanic re-release 2012 Thor Captain America: The First Avenger Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Priest 2011 Green Lantern 2011 Sucker Punch 2011 Beauty And The Beast 2011 Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader 2010 Gulliver's Travels 2010 Clash Of The Titans 2010 Alice In Wonderland 2010 Night Of The Living Dead 2009 G-Force 2009 Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince 2009 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix 2007 Meet The Robinsons 2007 Superman Returns 2006 The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D 2006 Chicken Little 2005 (Message edited by monkeyplaying on July 16, 2010) | ||

Think about what you said. Any film that was computer generated, such as Chicken Little, is not 'converted'; it's re-rendered. You run the same job on the same data in two different views. The 3-D theater releases this spirng of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were the same. As long as the database is the same, it's not a conversion. Having said that, and since you hated it because you thought it was a conversion, it tells something about our likes, not the process. You hate it out of purity of what you want, not the result. You can do pretty poor with 2 cameras too. | ||

It was my understanding that unlike Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Chicken Little was not rendered from original computer data, but from final prints, Meet The Robinsons was also done in this manner from what I had read. If anyone knows for sure, I would appreciate it because I would like an accurate list. What I want is to allow people to have knowledge and to make a choice about whether they are willing to pay for something they are not really getting. You make a good point about the possibility of poor 3D with two cameras, but I don't feel that conversion of live footage to 3D could ever match the detail that would exist if the film were shot in native 3D.
