I'm An Old, don't watch TV and only listen to a 70s-90s radio station, so I also couldn't pick The Weeknd or Taylor Swift out of a lineup. I do, however, know who James Cameron is, so there's that, at least.

I would recommend trying to find new music because it's still out there being made and still very good. Don't become trapped in the past like that.

Looks like I can choose between RealD 3D or IMAX 3D HFR. I chose the realD 3D theater…but wondering how the HFR stuff will look. Everyone hated it with the Hobbit movie, right? Is Cameron pushing for the same 42fps, or going full video game 60fps?

I chose the realD 3D theater…but wondering how the HFR stuff will look. Only certain scenes (I believe mostly underwater sequences, maybe some flying stuff too) were shot in HFR, and Cameron went with 48 FPS. The rest of the film will be 24 FPS. You should definitely see it in IMAX 3D HFR, though. [edit] From what I read/heard on some twitch streams I watch (unrelated to flim, they're just gamers who were talking about the movie after seeing some preview footage in a Dolby theater), an example of the film shifting from 24 to 48 FPS and vice versa happened when a na'vi character/characters are on land and jump into the water. Once they're underwater, it becomes 48 FPS. When they swam back up and came out of the water, the film shifted back to 24 FPS. Their reaction was largely positive to the effect during the sequences they saw. teagone fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Dec 6, 2022 |

I chose the realD 3D theater…but wondering how the HFR stuff will look. I would personally choose the IMAX, as even with the older digital IMAX theaters you get the full uncropped image and a better experience than the RealD theaters. Also Cameron is doing something different for avatar compared to the hobbit. The film was shot in 48fps, but they're just doubling frames for most of it so its at a normal 24fps, and only keeping the full 48fps during action scenes so it mitigates some of the choppiness in 3d but doesn't make everything look weird. I have no idea how that will look in practice but thats the idea anyways.

I forget which interview it was, but Cameron had said he's a huge proponent of HFR being viewed as a tool, not a medium (i.e., whole features shouldn't be shot in HFR akin to The Hobbit or Gemini Man), for filmmakers to use when directing action in stereo 3D. [edit Found it, it was in an interview from 2016 James Cameron posted:I think [high frame rates] is a tool, not a format. I think it’s something you want to weave in and out and use it when it soothes the eye, especially in 3D during panning, movements that [create] artifacts that I find very bothersome. I want to get rid of that stuff, and you can do it through high frame rates. From here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/james-cameron-promises-innovation-avatar-sequels-as-hes-feted-by-engineers-942305/ Cameron is a pioneer when it comes to the modern take on filming in stereo 3D, so I'd consider his philosophy on when/where to apply HFR in a feature film as gospel tbh, lmao. teagone fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Dec 6, 2022 |

Any AMC equipped with a Dolby Cinema should be able to display HFR. Or any IMAX single laser theater.

Sure, the people tweeting from the premiere said it was great, but did anyone stop to think maybe Jim just rescued all of their parents from kidnappers as well? Food for thought.

pyrotek posted:AMC theaters don't seem to list HFR in their description, but Regal theaters do. Its really hard to figure all this out with all the formats now. I went back to check some of it, and the only one you can say for certain without any qualifier as having HFR guaranteed are the dolby cinemas. So any Dolby one at AMC will support HFR too. Most likely any IMAX at an AMC will also support HFR, as looking into it again, the IMAX laser (single) and the legacy IMAX digital both do HFR, its only the Dual laser systems that don't (well technically they can, but only at a reduced 2k resolution which they won't run it at i guess?), but the Dual laser systems are very rare. You can have a look here for IMAX theaters, and see just how rare the laser, let alone dual laser ones: https://lfexaminer.com/theaters/ RealD 3D, your standard multiplex 3D, is the tough one to figure out and I wasn't able to find a definitive answer for if they all not only support HFR, will show it in HFR, or if there are different types of RealD systems that won't.

My avatar story: I forgot that the Navi were twelve feet tall when we spent so much time with them and no humans for scale, so when they have the big fight scene I was like "what the hell are they going to do against human machines and vehicles" And then the arrow flew through the helicopter canopy and I was like "oh riiiight"
