Audience Health
I have never, ever been the kind of person who gets ill in a 3D movie, with the big exception of Clash of the Titans, which was post-converted into 3D so poorly its a miracle it didn’t kill us all. The post-conversion in Spirit of Vengeance isn’t nearly so big of a problem, but it started to go wrong back on the set, with the cameras whipping around and shaking in the classic Neveldine & Taylor style, in a way that’s completely, totally impossible to deal with when you’re wearing 3D glasses. It does get a little bit better after the first big kinetic action scene– and once you adjust to it you might not be actively reaching for the vomit bag– but the first 5 minutes of this movie was one of the roughest times I’ve had in a 3D film. If you have a history of getting sick in 3D movies, you might want to consider staying away from this one entirely.

Final Verdict: Even giving Spirit of Vengeance credit for the few things it gets right, that’s still a pretty dismal score. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong with the filming of this thing, but the result is as messy as the movie itself, and far from an accomplishment for the 3D format, which needs all the help it can get. I wouldn’t recommend seeing Spirit of Vengeance under any circumstances, really, but if you must go, hunt down the 2D ticket and save yourself both some cash and a stomachache.
