I have been wondering this and was wondering what you thought of the 3D in Toy Story 3? I thought it was great in IMAX myself.
I saw it 2 times so far, 2d first, and in 3D on the 4th of July. I like both for different reasons. Im glad I saw it in 2D first, it elimitates any kind of distraction or tinting you get from the glasses. its how we saw the first 2 movies back in the day and it feels natural to see the third the same way.
I love 3D too though. they know to keep things subtle. my mom thinks pixar doesn’t pop out at you enough, that you should get more bang for your buck with the 3d all in your face, but that’s and mindset I’ll never understand. its a movie not a theme part attraction. you cant treat it the same way.
I really wanted to see it in 3D, was going to on Sunday, but thanks to twilight pushing it out I wasn’t able to.
I saw it in Imax. Honestly, I thought the 3D was terrible.
I actually just saw it in 2D today, and I can say that it’s just as good, if not better, than it is in 3D.
The 3D is subtle, which is nice because it doesn’t distract or push you out of the film, but the result is that you don’t really need it, and the movie is just fine without it. Plus, it’s more expensive and it darkens the film slightly. Go 2D if you can.
On the other hand, Night & Day is not nearly as cool in 2D, so if you must go with 3D, at least there’s that.
I think 3D isn’t worth the extra money.
Agreed that Night And Day somehow becomes much more awesome in 3D. In the actual movie, the 3D adds the nice feel of dimension and an awesome picture and all, but it’s not made for 3D obviously, where things constantly fly off the screen and such, which I’m glad for, I’d pick the quality in TS3 over a poor story with things coming at my face that I couldn’t enjoy at home.
3-D was great, as said, that it doesn’t pop out and distract you. But it wasn’t neccesary. I would’ve thought Pixar would be wiser than to fall into the 3-D bandwagon. Right now all the companies believe it’s 3-D or flop.
But IMAX was the absolute king with this movie. That was how I saw it in theaters on June 18th at midnight, and it made me feel in the movie, especially the scenes like in the incinerator and the garbage truck.
Damn shame it was booted out thanks to Eclipse. 
It might’ve been Disney that pushed them in the 3D thing for the prices, and it’s not like it negatively affects the movie at all, and it’s probably not too hard of a conversion for Pixar either.
And dang I wanted to see it in IMAX! And nice sig… 
I saw it in 3D and for some reason thought I could watch it without the special glasses.
Um, yeah right. I’m already myopic, why mess it up more? LOL!
Those glasses hurt after awhile, especially my noses’ bridge
I’d really love to be able to see it in 2D, at least for just the experience. -Omar
in my opinon, i honestly think 3d isnt that great, i mean its cool to look at for about 5 min, then you just want to watch the movie (even seeing the previews in 3d is enough) and Avatar in 3d didn’t impress me at all. but one thing i am glad in seeing in 3d is coraline…that final fight scene with the spider web thing was pretty awesome.
Pixar didn’t fall into any bandwagon, they did 3d way back in 1989 when they made Knick Knack. They have been wanting to do it more ever since, they just needed the technology to catch up, for digital 3D projection to become common place.
I thought the 3D had no benefit I saw the movie at the midnight launch in 3D then a day later with my whole family in Imax 3D, I think I would have rather seen them both times in 2D. I saw Up in 2D and 3D and thought the 2D was more enjoyable. Truth be told I cant wait till TS3 comes out on DVD so I can watch it in 2D( I dont want to pay to see it again).
I saw it both in 3-D and IMAX (and it’s rare enough that I see a movie twice!) and I really think it enhanced scenes like the opening and the climax. Of course I haven’t seen it in 2-D but really does it matter what format you see it in? It’s still fantastic!
I’m one of those who HATE 3-D… I just don’t see why it’s that cool. It’s a gimmick that (to me) does little to enhance a movie… unless the sole purpose of the movie is to be in 3-D (like a 30 minute theme park movie with water effects and smells and the works). However, for a REAL movie it’s unnecessary. Instead, the glasses are uncomfortable and looking through them starts to give me a headache after about 30 minutes. The darkness of the glasses dulls down the colors, which you really notice on a movie that should be as brightly colored as Toy Story. Plus if you decide to take the glasses off, the movie is blurry to where you can’t watch it without them. I really, really HATE it…
To me, a great movie is a great movie and doesn’t need 3-D effects to make it great. With 3-D, you get a sense of depth that looks forced, which then makes it look less real, which ruins the feel of the movie to me. I’d rather just watch a movie in High Definition, which adds a slight sense of 3-D depth to a movie without going overboard.
As far as Toy Story 3, I actually drove 100 miles to see it in 2-D. The theaters in my town were only showing it in 3-D, which is another thing I hate… that 3-D is taking over. For a movie as big as Toy Story 3, the fact that I didn’t have the option to see it either way was annoying. My town is big enough to have two showings at each theater… they didn’t all need to be 3-D… let the consumer have a choice.
Sorry about the rant… but I HATE 3-D.
I’m with Lone Star on this one. I haven’t seen Toy Story 3 yet obviously, but even though I am planning to see it in 2D and 3D, I can already guess that I’m going to prefer it in 2D, as I have with all other Pixar films that I’ve seen in both. The main reason why I’m even seeing it in 3D is because I’ve heard it works really well with Night and Day.
And Night and Day is short enough to where I could watch it and enjoy it… even in 3-D, but I just can’t enjoy a whole movie than way.
This movie is the perfect example of how a 3D film should be.
This technology isn’t made to trow thing to the faces of the audiences. That’s for theme parks.
In a movie (and that’s what Toy Story 3 is) the 3D is made to add depth to the images, and increase the feel of an augmented reality. And in that matter, it works perfectly.
Now, that argument about “but it’s is not necessary” just backfires. Why would Pixar want to make a movie that only works in 3D? They are wise enough to make it in a way that works in both formats, because it shows in regular theaters too and, furthermore, the home video version won’t be in 3D.
