To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right Dolphin Tale Ticket

[CinemaBlend]

…A cynic would likely say all the 2D showings are a product of producers not being overly confident in the special effects, but others might just as easily argue the decision is a response to sagging 3D ticket sales in a slumping economy. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but since your decision has actual ramifications for your wallet, let’s break the debate down. Here’s an informed look at how Dolphin Tale’s 3D measures up…

Final Verdict: Dolphin Tale scores a pathetic 17 on the To 3D Or Not 3D analysis, and 10 of those points come from the positives of not really having much 3D. Apart from its introductory scene that is decidedly above average, the film neither benefits from nor frequently utilizes its 3D technology. It’s really no wonder executives screened the movie for some members of the press in 2D and have been offering plenty of showings sans the special effects. Save your money. Go with the 2D.
