Life of Pi in 3D

Academy award winning director Ang Lee breathes cinematic life into Yann Martel's fantasy adventure novel, Life of Pi, as he provides audiences worldwide, quite aptly put on the movie poster, a journey of a lifetime. Life of Pi is afforded an extra dimension that brings this story to the big screen in surreal 3D as it has the audience follow Pi on an incredible journey of self-discovery in close proximity. But does the 3D bring us on an unforgettable journey, or does it leave us stranded?

Rise of the Guardians.. of 3D?

Rise of the Guardians is not your run-of-the-mill christmas movie. In fact, it isn't really even a christmas movie. Featuring your famous range of legends from Christian folklore such as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, Rise of the Guardians breathes new Attitude into these household names. You're in for an action-packed holiday treat with christmas around the corner. But does the 3D immerse you in a magical world, or are your robbed of all belief in 3D?

Frankenweenie in terrifying 3D!

This November, Tim Burton's 1984 short film has been dug up and brought back to life. This time, as a full-length feature film on the big screen. Yet another stop-motion film in 3D, Frankenweenie is filmed purely in black and white. This is no surprise coming for Mr Burton himself. However, stop-motion films can be tricky to pull off in 3D, and draining colour from the film does not make the task any easier. So, does 3D breathe life into Frankenweenie, or does Frankenweenie create a monstrous 3D experience?

Should you take the BAIT in 3D?

A first-time Australia/Singapore co-production, BAIT 3D is everything its trailer suggests -  a low-budget shark thriller that swims in the same pond as all the other forgettable shark movies. But hey! Singapore actor Adrian Pang is part of the main cast! And he gets a substantial amount of screen time too! Even if you're not a fan, it's always nice to see local talent on an international scale. Enough digression, let me give you what you came for.

Here's how I found Nemo in 3D!

In this day and age of profiteering, it is no surprise that the movie industry has jumped on the band wagon with its own brand of extortion. My apologies for the sharp-tongued remark. But, such is the impression that the highly successful Finding Nemo presents in its recent 3D release. Production costs are much lower, and prior success of the original movie carries the 3D version on its back. Much like the sea turtles on the EAC! Sweet.. Totally.. Even so, who says 3D conversions can't be good?

DREDD: 3D Judgment Time!

In 1995, we were given a peek into a dystopian future where one man (Sylvester Stallone) was the law. Today, Karl Urban fills the boots of the badass Judge Dredd. Making a comeback after 17 years, it would only be lawful to make this movie in 3D. WARNING: This is not a remake of the Stallone movie. In fact, the plot is very similar to The Raid: Redemption, an  Indonesian movie. How ironic it would be if DREDD is slapped with a copyright infringement suit. Anyway, the trial is over for DREDD in 3D. Judgment Time!

'Resident Evil: Retribution' - Evil Goes Global in 3D!

It's been 10 years since the first Resident Evil movie, and the battle against the Umbrella Corporation and the undead still continues. Dear Alice, how the hell are you still alive?? But there is a silver lining to this epically long battle. That is to watch the agonizingly slow depletion of the human race in exciting 3D! This fifth installment of the series is the second to be made in 3D. We can only expect the best from 'Resident Evil: Retribution' in all it's gorious (pun intended) gun-slinging, zombie slaying prowess!
