The 3 Greatest 3D Films Ever Made
1. Life of Pi (2012)
This years Oscar nominated Life of Pi by Director Ang Lee is based on an apparently unfilmable novel of the same title. Boy, did Lee prove his critics wrong. Much like Avatar, Life of Pi is a film which was begging to be made in 3D. And like Camerons sci-fi fantasy, this equally tragic and uplifting story just isnt the same in 2D.
A film which could have failed on so many levels its location is mainly the sea, the majority of its main characters are CG animals, its protagonist has never acted before, Ang Lee once made Hulk but none of this stopped Lee and co. from coming out on top.
It succeeded on all levels and the addition of 3D only served to further enhance the viewing experience of a film which probably wont be rewarded with an Oscar, but if it were to be, it would be as deserving as any of the 84 other Best Picture Winners.
At some stages the 3D is so convincing and effective, it almost feels like an IMAX experience with exotic animals walking out of the screen and tigers springing towards you. Here is a picture which proves that when filmmakers embrace and respect this new technology and its power to entertain, the result can be a truly memorable cinema experience.
