Pfister talked about his opinions of 3-D at the Dallas International Film Festival. He’s a really great guy, I loved what he had to say about the fad. He said that movies are about stories, not about things popping out at you. He said that takes away from what movies are all about. LOVE it! That being said, Batman 3 in IMAX is a great idea.

Nolan talked smack about 3-D at Wondercon this year too. The audience loved it! Hopefully he’ll be able to stand his moral ground and prevent any of his films from being in 3-D.

That said, I kind of see shooting the film in IMAX as a similar, but not nearly as annoying, gimick. Like 3-D it’ll make for fun theatrical viewing, but will add nothing to the home experience. Except of course for those people that do in fact have IMAX screens in their home.

Just leave the movie alone, years later when this movie comes out not on 3d then everyone going to wonder why the f*ck is shit being thrown at the screen.

I agree completely that 3D is getting out of hand. Most films aren’t even made for it, and it takes away from things when it’s just tagged on as an extra.

I’ll always prefer to see a film in a standard release over a 3D release if I have the choice. Outside of Avatar, which was built around 3D, most use it completely as a gimmick.

The talk of Marvel adding 3D to their films makes me want to cringe. If done properly, of course it won’t ruin the film, but at the same time I don’t think it adds anything to it. I don’t need to see a piece of webbing fly at my face to enjoy Spider-Man.

As for IMAX, I’ll have to disagree with you Mike, as I don’t see it as a gimmick at all. While it might not add anything to most home experience for most, the sheer amount of awesomeness that it adds to theatrical experiences is unparalleled. It’s not something that requires glasses, or lame shots of things being tossed at a screen, it’s just there to enhance the experience all around.

I’d love to see this film done in full IMAX, and really, at this point, being the hottest director out there, as well as The Dark Knight being one of the highest grossing films of all time, if Nolan and his crew want to do it in IMAX, I can’t see it not happening.

[...] revelation, plus cinematographer Wally Pfister’s comments about wanting to do the entire film in IMAX, already makes this the one to see come summer 2012 [...]

3D, IMAX … It’s all about gimmicks — and I have no problem with that. With rising ticket costs and rude fellow patrons, it’s tougher and tougher for me to justify going to the theater but 3D and IMAX are both experiences I can’t yet pull off in my home theater (trust me, I’m working on plans to install an IMAX screen in my apartment). If done with skill and care (which I’m sure Nolan will ensure) I’d see Batman in 3D, IMAX or even smell-o-vision.
