Putting Order To Your 3D Movie List

by Vic Hurlstorm on July 20, 2010

People learned to love the growing number of 3d movies that are being shown in theaters and movie houses each month. This is good news for the entities behind the production of such movies. A number of people going to the theaters just to be able to watch the 3d movies mean a big amount of money for them! Because of this, there is just no wonder why the 3d movie list is getting longer and longer each passing year. Now speaking of the 3D movies list, it is always better and more informative if the movies there are ranked according to their quality and impact. The following can be our basis in making our evaluations.

The Storyline

We must not just let the utilization of 3D technology to be the only basis for a film’s quality. Besides, we are creating a comparison of 3d films so saying that the movie is OK just because it is 3D is somewhat irrelevant. Always see to it that you take a look at the way the story unfolds—how it unfolds and how it ends. Is the flow so common? Does it have originality? Does it encourage critical thinking? These should be the questions that we should be asking to ourselves. After all, the film’s story is the most significant element. It could be considered the most basic. Without it, nothing will be seen and there will be nothing for the actors to give life to. Hence, the story has to be good and worth the hour or so of focused attention.

The Actors’ and Actresses’ Performances

Now, the story would be nothing if the actors and actrresses can’t portray their roles very well. Bear in mind that most films do not have narrations to help the viewers understand. Hence, we have to rely in the conversations between characters, on the artists’ facial expressions and gestures in order for us to understand the flow. Hence, they really have to have faces that are expressive, voices that change intonations depending on the portrayed emotion, and they should be able to put life to the role they are playing. No, this is not for the sake of grabbing the best actor or best actress trophy. This is for the sake of the viewers and how they should get the point of what they are viewing.

The Cinematography

Of course, always be conscious of where the camera focuses its lenses. Are we given the right perspective? Does the camera position help us understand the story better or just cause confusion? Now, all movies might be very good at this. However, we could not just take this for granted because this is really very important. Who knows? Someone out there may find the camera positioning of a certain movie to annoying or too shaky that it dampens his or her mood all through out.

Now, the three criteria that we gave are just the ones that we think are the most important. Of course, you are welcome to omit something or add another, as long as we have concrete basis for the rankings that we have in our 3d movie list.
