Actually he was 3D in the Blu-Ray version of the movie, dunno if he was CGI before that but thats the first time they replaced the puppet with CGI that I know of anyway
^ Oh yeah Im glad they made that change, just dnt think its worth paying 3d cinema tickets for basically that one major change and some lame 3d. Especially considering the changes are on blu-ray anyway.
Now that is one I don't think I will be buying. I have no 3D tv and I don't think I will get one anytime soon. A lot of extra money for litte additional pleasure.
Well, in most movies I've seen the 3D doesn't add very much (Toy Story, Alice in Wonderland, Tron, Puss in Boots, Three Musketeers (yes, yuck), Monsters vs. Aliens). I liked TinTin, but no doubt 2D will work just as fine.
The only good 3D experience, and unrivaled IMHO, was Avatar. But one movie is not enough to buy a 3D tv.
Now THAT I will buy and donate to the George Lucas Retirement Fund.
The TV I was buying today (See your thread) was a 3D TV with a 3D Blu-ray bundle and 4 pairs of glasses. Only $698, which is cheaper than other TVs of the same size there.
I would have used it on PS3 games and certain movies. It also has a convert 2D to 3D function that I wanted to play around with.
It's a fad and i for one will not be buying it untill it actually displays a full color hologram that you can sit in the middle of and watch the action around you! who the hell wants to sit with those damn glasses on all the time.
I don't even have a 42" and I certainly can't fit one in my bedroom.
But watching with glasses on a relatively small screen doesn't rock my boat. Especially since most 3D experiences weren't all the exciting in the cinema in the first place.
I disagree, it was not terrible. The TPM puppet was just fine. I like puppets better than cgi, for Yoda at least.
They should have made a better effort to duplicate what was in the original TPM puppet.
If it's not better, they shouldn't have done it.
Anakin getting tested by Yoda in the chamber was much better with the puppet than the cgi. Yoda's line "I sense much fear in you" has far more gravitas with the puppet.
The "Obi-wan knighted" scene was much better with a puppet too, as is the Qui-Gon BBQ scene.
And he should be smiling during the parade. Not scowling.
