Guess who thinks that 3D is merely a “new toy”? Filmaker, Brad Bird, also known as the director of Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol.
He told the BBC that he saw the tridimensional format as a play-thing people were excited about and ended up over-indulging on.
“I remain interested in 3D but I’m not exactly convinced yet. What I’m more interested in is really high resolution, and really big screens.”
Of course, very much like Spielberg, he praised the work of James Cameron and his efforts to revamp the 3D experience through Avatar:
“I loved what James Cameron did, I can’t wait to see what Peter Jackson does with The Hobbit, particularly with increased frame rates.
“But for me I don’t like the glasses so much, and it’s a little dark.”
Instead, the director was very keen on HD (high definition) and he believed that the format brought films to life because of its “incredible detail”:
“It allowed us to capture sequences like the one where Tom Cruise climbs the highest building in the world with incredible detail.”
There has been an array of opinions coming from the big guns of Hollywood cinema, some stating that 3D will come and go, however the majority thought that the tridimensional format is where the future of film lies.
