Step Up Revolution in revolutionary 3D?

'Step Up Revolution' is the fourth addition to the Step Up franchise. Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1? I think I am B2. How the hell are they coming up with more of these movies?? Yet another poppin' and lockin', break dancing movie, with a reused and re-abused plot. But wait, there's more! It's in 3D! This is the second Step Up movie featured in 3D after 'Step Up 3D'. Surprisingly, the 3D element of this movie was underplayed in its advertisements. Was there any reason for that? You might want to read on..

Katy Perry: Part of Me in 3D.. literally!

Watching 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' would have never crossed my mind if not for its feature in 3D. I didn't know half the songs by her. I didn't even recognize what she looked like. All that has changed now that I have watched her movie. As The 3D Guru, all of that shouldn't, and didn't, matter to me. My focus was on the 3D worth of this movie. At the same time, it is hard to ignore the content of the movie. So now, I can consciously avoid Katy Perry and her music.. Just kidding! Let's see how the 3D fared in this movie.

Did fortune favour Brave in 3D?

Disney and Pixar venture into a 'Brave' new world that deviates from the familiarity of previous movies like Toy Story or Up. Set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. An archery-loving princess at the forefront. Four armies of warriors boasting an inventory of axes, spears, and swords. Need I go on? I was sold to the 3D potential of this movie, if not the story. Hats off to Disney’s advertising bravado and good luck to Pixar's first princess movie. Fast forward to release day, does Brave live up to its 3D potential?

Ice Age: Continental Drift, breaking grounds in 3D?

10 years on, we see the fourth installment of the Ice Age series coming to the big screen. Being the second 3D movie in the series after Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 2009, we would expect all the kinks from the previous movie to be ironed out. Unfortunately, I can’t compare the two… I didn’t watch the previous movie… But that allows me to make an impartial judgment of this movie right? So here goes!

A 3D take on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I am not here to judge the movie, only it’s 3D value. That being said, the 3D did its job in this movie, breathing much needed life into a dead, or perhaps “undead” genre. Abraham Lincoln once said,"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." That is exactly what the filmmakers did when they decided to make this movie in 3D. So what did I think about the movie? Well… for a worn out genre, let’s just say it exceeded my expectations. More importantly, how was the 3D?

The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D: How amazing was it really?

Amidst the hype of the return of a “new and improved” Spider-Man to the big screen, I had high hopes for its greatly advertised feature in 3D. This is the beginning of a new era after the world was left jaw hanging from Tobey Maguire's reign as your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. But now, The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D? Just imagine the promise of webs shooting at you, Spiderman swinging from building to building. Amazing... NOT!
