I saw it yesterday, while it was an awesome movie I just don't see what the 3d did to enhance it?
You're quite right. The 3D was barely even there. It was used more in the trailer for Step Up than it was in the whole of TS3 ffs!
I'm sure D4RK ONION will also agree with you when he sees your post. He wasn't happy with having to pay an extra €2 for 3D either!0 -

I don't get 3D in general.
"Ooh but it's shiny!"
No, it's just a gimmick.
I saw the regular Toy Story 3, and I don't see how 3D would have made it better, visually or otherwise.0 -

I think that tastefully done 3D makes films much more prettyful! I really liked the 3D in Toy Story - when you say it was "barely even there", that's what I like most about it. It was there for the whole film, but it was nice and subtle, and not gimmicky "OH LOOK THE HAND IS REACHING FOR US" style 3D.
Also, Up. Up was beautiful in 3D, but there were no/very few "3D moments".

I think it's good that the 3D in Toy Story 3 wasn't particularly memorable. There was no need to mask bad story-telling with novelty, so the gimmick wasn't exploited. It was just a subtle inclusion that gave you a greater sense of depth and detail in some of the scenes, especially in some of the wide rooms in Sunnyside and that scene whereAndy's toys were surrounded in the garbage chute. It wasn't necessary, but it did add a little bit more to the film's lovely visuals without making everything look like a pop-up book as in Step Up 3D's trailer.
On the other hand, the short-film before Toy Story 3 was all about the novelty of 3D movies! The two characters were windows into a 3D world, and Pixar did a great job of playing with depth. I didn't mind paying a little more for the 3D goggles after being amused by that.

I saw this in 2D yesterday... it was still lovely and all, but not quite the same.
Pixar shorts are always top quality though!0 -

Yep, definitely! I think I once read that they enjoy making shorts the most, and it really shows! Mind you, everything by Pixar* is top quality.

Finally got around to watching 'No country for old men'. After being told that it was one of the best film of the past decade, i was fairly disappointed. The film appeared to contain many fillers, and i believe that the part of Tommy Lee Jones was the largest of these fillers. Although ya can't deny that his character wove the story together on several occasions, his relevance of several occasions were questionable. The storyline was entertaining, but nothing was put forward that hadn't been done before. The most outstanding part of the film was the character of Anton played by Javier Bardem. The character was genuinely intimidating, and appeared to be unstoppable.
Next film on the watch list is 'There will be Blood'

That's kinda odd, I bought the two of them together many moons ago. Have yet to watch There Will Be Blood, might stick it on tonight if I'm not sleepy. No Country For Old Men was pretty good in parts but it dragged a little towards the end.0 -

DO IT! I adore that film, it's slightly bizarre, and quite eery, but I found it thoroughly entertaining. Plainview is just an excellent character, infinitely cool, and I thought it was cool that the main character, while he was the good guy of the film, he was an absolute tosspot :cool:0 -
