3D is just a gimmick. Any movie you have to see in 3D of it to be great is not what I'm into. Hey Shawshack redemptions my favorite movie so I'm all about the story. Visual effect done impress me much.
It's usually a gimmick. There are a handful of movies where it's more than that. Avatar, Life Of Pi and Gravity are probably the top 3.
I hate 3D, but Gravity is one of the best films of the year.
The story is BASIC, not shyt. There is a HUGE difference. How many survival movies, especially those that take place in a day, have complex scripts?
