My Soul To Take 3D Review
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 8:07 pm
Ok, this review is going to be short. One word: Bad. This has got to be one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. The acting was horrible, the dialogue was bad (but not in a funny way. Just plain bad.), the plot was paper thin and the whole movie lacked any redeeming quality. They might have made up for it with some gore and nudity (like in My Bloody Valentine) but sadly the film is rather tame. There are only a few action sequences and they are very short with little blood or violence really shown. You would hope for some nice long drawn out chase scenes or something, but there is nothing of the sort. Just a couple of quick, relatively tame, death scenes. I was really hoping for a lot more from Wes Craven, but unfortunately he does not deliver.
So how did the 3D look? Just about as bad as the movie itself. While it did appear that the movie was a native production (not a conversion), the quality of the 3D was not very good. There were only a few scenes that even had any noticeable 3D effects, and even then it was mild. Most of the film appeared to be in 2D. If they had gone all out of the 3D effects, like having body parts flying off the screen for example, then maybe that would have been something to see. However the lukewarm 3D treatment left much to be desired and wasn't enough to save this film. This seems to be a recurring problem with a number of recent films. They try to sell the film with the 3D aspect, but then don't deliver on the visuals. Audiences are going to get tired of these movies and probably won't want to pay a premium unless they are seeing some impressive 3D effects. Though it might have been worth the ticket price just to see the 3D trailer for 'Priest', which comes out next summer. Now that movie looks like 3D done right.
So again, the movie sucked big time. Don't waste your money.
