Ridley Scott's Forever War In 3D

bowman9991 writes "Ridley Scott's next science fiction film, his first since Blade Runner, will be a 3D adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, an action packed novel about the impact of the time dilation effect on soldiers returning from an interstellar war against the mysterious Tauran species. Scott recently decided to move to 3D after watching footage of James Cameron's yet to be released science fiction epic Avatar. The Forever War, Cameron's Avatar, and Scott's other upcoming science fiction project, Brave New World, will make the next five years a fantastic time to be a science fiction movie enthusiast."

      Ok who modded me as funny?

      I'm serious when I say I am blind in one eye, and as a result any gimmicky attempt to project 3d at me fails miserably. I get lovely coloured shadows on everything that makes the movie look shit.

      So I am apprehensive that 3D seems to be the path that movies are heading. I can just see myself in 30 years surrounded by my collection of flatscreen 2D movies while swearing at all the kids to "Git off my lawn"

      And I wonder what all the colour blind people think of 3D?

    Sorry, but you INTENTIONALLY went and PAID to see 'Fly Me To The Moon'?

    So I work, see, and my wife runs this bakery, y'know, and we've got four kids, with one very young, so the times we can arrange childcare for the baby and get the rest of the family out to see a movie are limited, and sometimes you have to work with what's available. But I'm glad I could help your self-esteem a little! You rock with your bad self!
