J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated sequel to his 2009 “Star Trek” film will be available in 3-D — but it won’t be converted to 3-D until post-production.
Adam B. Vary reported on the Entertainment Weekly website Abrams isn’t necessarily a fan of 3-D and wants to shoot the movie on celluloid film in the anamorphic format, like he did with his previous “Star Trek” film.
“I did not fight for the 3-D,” Abrams said. “It was something the studio wanted to do. I didn’t want to do it. … The thing that drives me crazy about 3-D is that when you put on the glasses, everything seems dim. I’m not totally on board yet.”
However, after Abrams saw some of the first Trek film converted to 3-D, he’s said he’s not as opposed to post-production conversion.
“I saw the first movie converted; it was actually really cool,” he said. ”So I was okay with [converting the film to 3-D], as long as I could shoot it the way I wanted to.”
That’s Fine With Me.
I HATE 3D.
Not The Effects…
…But The NAUSEA I Get From Watching It.
It’s FUN…
…But IT’S PAINFUL.
Damn These Eye-Glasses AND Weak-Stomach.
They NEVER Make 3D Easy.
Hell, They Don’t Really Make It POSSIBLE.
But I Do Try!
That Counts… …right??!?!

Agreed about the 3D, wish it was a fad that would go out again. If they are going to do it, it should be in production, not after the fact. Just my opinion.
I’m still not a huge fan of 3-D either. It’s an interesting effect, but to me it’s still not really worth paying extra for.
