Just like the pairing up of the then two most popular/shiny movie making names in Hollywood to make Raiders, or like casting one of the bright young things from the then biggest movie ever made i.e. Star Wars, as your leading man.Stoo said:Creating a film in a style that had NOT been popular in decades can hardly be considered as a gimmick. Cashing in something CURRENTLY popular is.
Point being, one man's gimmick is another man's artistic choice. Sure, 3D seems to be flavour of the month, and as I've already mentioned, 3D doesn't do it for me... but clearly some very high profile movie makers seem to believe it's a legitimate technique for expanding/evolving the cinematic experience. Assuming that the industry interest is genuine, then 3D's employment to broaden the experience, and maintain/grow the consumers interest in cinema (which is the bottom line) is just as valid (if not as cinematically significant) as the advancement of sound, colour, stereo, digital etc. etc.
