12 Nov 09 - 3D Week
On Monday 16th November Channel 4 launches its celebratory 3D week, an event which will host a varied range of programmes from classic movies to magic tricks. Although 3D movies have been around since the 50's the practice is currently being hailed by some as the next big thing in cinema with 15 3D movies being released this year.
In Episode 13 (12th Nov) of the Culture Show, movie guru Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo discussed the pros and cons of the 3D experience. To quote Kermode "Its fun and trashy for certain individual experiences" and "what you shouldn't forget is that its a gimmick". Mark Kermode doesn't view 3D as being the future of cinema, what do you think? Can 3D genuinely make a good film better? Head over to our interactive website to have your say!
For more of Mark's views you can still view this episode of The Culture Show for 2 more days here: Episode 13 (film review begins 43:23).
You can pick up your free 3D glasses in your local Sainsbury's.
