3-D Movies

I just saw A Christmas Carol. The lastest version from Disney with Jim Carrey. It is completely computer animated and 3-D. It's pretty cool. The thing that made it a bit jarring for me was the 3-D stuff. So much of it was planned to use the technology that it was obtrusive. Does the camera really need to pass thru a stream of falling peanuts, or the Christmas reef? I don't think it does. Just because you have the ability to do so doesn't mean you should. Doing so kept throwing me out of the movie. And it happened all the time. The speeding thru the snow so it hit the glasses... That's fine if I'm skiing, but give me a break.

I recommend it, but the 3-D thing might make you crazy.
