REVIEW: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is Both Good-Natured and Exhausting | Movieline
On Stranger Tides doesn’t clamor quite so loudly for our attention, which is a blessed relief. Still, the picture is cluttered and convoluted and big, and Marshall — taking over the reins from Gore Verbinski — doesn’t seem to grasp how exhausting nonstop action can be. There’s a scuffle, a sword fight or a bit of tumbling or running every five minutes or so, as if Marshall and screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio didn’t trust us to absorb anything so mundane as a simple conversation between two characters.
But at the very least, On Stranger Tides has a good-natured glow about it. And in the midst of its scaled-back yet still excessive visual effects, it does attempt to offer a few silvery flashes of wonder, instead of just thinly veiled latex and computer-enhancements masquerading as magic.
Anybody bother to see it in 3D? If so, can I get your thoughts on the 3D? Not sure if I should lobby for 2D when my dad and I go see it this weekend.
I saw it in 3D, i thought it looked really nice in 3D but that was about it, they didnt really take advantage of 3D effects but it just looked really good.
The 3d is neither necessary or horrible. It was filmed with RED cameras so it's as good as you can expect. But, the tech wasn't used for more than the occasional 'sword coming atcha' gag. I am going up to the Vista to see it in 2d this weekend and i don't expect it to be a whole lot different. I'll let ya know.
