Captain America: The First Avenger (in 3D, unfortunately)

Aug 14, 2011 10:29

I finally got to see Captain America last night. The American film industry hates Sweden and doesn't want us to get to see any movies. (According to my guy, it's the Russians' fault for releasing so many cams, but I couldn't really follow his logic ( Read more... )

zin goes to the movies, in a cave! with a box of scraps!, zin is grumpy, rants, marvel

I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, hopefully during the next week. I'm also very fortunate to have to choice of 3D and 2D. Ålesund kino shows both, so I'm opting for the 2D. Many people say they get nauseous or get a headache when they watch 3D, so I'm sticking to the 2D! I'm not at all familiar with the universe, I've only read Nix' amazing ff :)

*pssst! What are cams?*

Heh, cams are pirated copies videotaped at the movie theatre and released online. Usually not that great in quality, but sometimes watchable if you can't wait or don't want to see the movie at the cinema. (Not that I would know from personal experience or anything...*cough*)

I really liked the movie and I would have liked it even better if it had been available in 2D! I'm a comic book nerd as well as a tv nerd, so I always look forward to the Marvel movies. I think I've seen them all at the cinema, except for Thor, which my guy acquired through other means...

Oh, a fellow "can't see 3-D" person...See if you can find a post I
made about 6 months ago. I, too,, am visually challenged.
I am beginning a program designed to help my eyes to focus at the
New York Optometric Center as we speak. They won't focus there but
I'm supposed to get trained there to get my eyes to work right.
If focussing is an issue for you maybe get a copy of Fixing my Gaze
by Susan R. Barry.
I'll write more off-line.
Regards. Selma

Cool, I hope the program can help you!

My issue isn't so much that I can't see 3D - it's not a big deal to me and it doesn't have much of an impact on my life. I think the problem is when there are no other options offered, especially in places like movie theaters that should be accessible to everyone (at least here in Sweden).

Yeah, I can't watch 3D movies because they trigger motion sickness /o\

I've heard that can happen too. I wish people wouldn't assume that everyone always wants the newest and the coolest :(
