A Five Year Old Ranks 3D Movie

Adults have enjoyed the technological advances in the film industry as they brought films to life with 3D movies, either native or converted, and with cool 3D glasses on. This new tech frenzy has made the long ticket line longer and the ticket price turn to gold. But avid fanatics of the 3D world continue to spend their week saved money all for this in – depth movie experience. Clearly, the adults are having the time of their lives but what do the kids say about such innovative movie watching? It is said that the child’s eyes are innocent and frank to look through the souls of other people, would it be the same when one gets to watch his or her favorite cartoon character or fairytale come to live and coming at him or her and out from the movie screen?

Many parents have feared to bring their little munchkins to movie theaters to watch a newly released 3D conversion of the child’s favorite Walt Disney cartoon tale. Two reasons do come to parents’ minds when justifying their fear: one, they think that the child would turn their favorite fairytales into their worst nightmares as objects come out of the screen and at them in broad daylight (i.e. Samara in The Ring) – quite a traumatic experience for such a young age and two, the child would hate them for the rest of their lives. With these, parents all over the world are skeptical with introducing the 3D world to their children for the first time. Some say that parents are actually depriving the good stuff and experience of magic from their children while the protective parents rebut with their “I’m just protecting my kid” statement. But when a five year old child would invite you to watch her favorite Beauty and The Beast Movie in 3D, would you turn her down or would you eat your fear and let her decide as to whether to enjoy or fear the world of 3D? Tom Burns has chosen the latter part of things. He had brought his five year old daughter, Charley, for her first ever 3D movie experience and the result: “4 lame stars.”

At the end of the movie, Tom asked his daughter how the movie and Charley answered that she liked 3D for objects came at her like magic and it made the Beauty and The Beast  movie her favorite 3D movie ever (even if it was her favorite movie in 2D). He then asked her how would she rate the movie with 4 stars being the best and zero being the worst. Charley answered, “I would give it four stars. But that doesn’t make sense. What does four stars mean? Why not ten stars? Why not a thousand? Four is lame.”

This gets to show that 3D does please even the curious and fearful eyes of a five year old.  To be given the chance to see a magical tale on a new cutting edge 3D scale truly brings the magic to life and children appreciate it more. Plus, being able to wear cool 3D glasses makes the movie even cooler. Experiencing the first 3D movie of a child with him or her laughing to himself or herself and waving his or her hand constantly in front of those cool 3D glasses – PRICELESS!

Hence, ladies and gentlemen, the verdict of a five year old is as follows: 3D is 3D cool with 4 lame stars attached to it.
