Subj: I'm not sure if we have it in 3-D where I live, but I'm dying to see it one way or the other.Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 at 12:58:07 pm EST (Viewed 293 times)
| Reply Subj: I highly recommend seeing "Coraline" in 3-D if you have the chance.

> I haven't read the book by Neil Gaiman, but I really enjoyed the movie adaptation. The animation is impressive already, but in 3-D it becomes a real experience. They don't do a lot of "poke you in the eye" effects (aside from a needle coming through a cloth at the very beginning, almost to show they *could* do it.) They do, however, take advantage of the depth of spaces, and as a result the rooms the characters inhabit pull you right in with them. Plus, since it's stop-motion, the rooms actually exist (albeit in miniature form). Compared to CGI, it really makes a subtle but interesting difference in the look.

> All of the previews were for 3-D CGI movies by comparison... they looked cool but slick. (Although the 3-D will really make a difference for Disney/Pixar's "Up", as looking at the flying house with the ground far below you *really* felt the height.) I think I kind of like this new take on an old gimmick in filmmaking.
