One of the cool things about this movie was that the 'reality' scenes were done in standard 1.85:1 35mm and the 'headset' scenes suddenly jumped out to anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen for a more enveloping, sensory experience. Imagine if they re-rendered the 'headset' scenes in 3-D and re-released the original movie. Anytime someone donned the headgear you would put on your 3-D glasses.
shareGood idea but having to take the glasses on and off so many times would disrupt the flow of this film. If they could add depth throughout the entire film, or even removed the 3-D effect without making the person take off the glasses I can see it working.

I would rather see a re-release than a remake because Hollywood keeps messing up their remakes. If it's a classic movie, then give it a wide re-release. Let a new generation of people discover why us fogies fell in love with a particular film in the first place.
shareI am not crazy about 3D, but I actually like your idea, that the scenes where people wore the gear should be in 3D. This is one instance where 3D really would work well and not just be kind of forced onto a movie that wasn't really meant to be 3D in the first place. Unfortunately,
Anytime someone donned the headgear you would put on your 3-D glasses.that's the part that sucks, and it's the whole reason I don't like 3D movies in the first place. 3D nowadays is WAY better than back in the day when you had to wear those half red half blue glasses and the movie was all blurry like the colors were out-of-register (because they were LOL), and you HAD to keep the glasses on the entire time, even during non-3D parts. However, it's not THAT much better, and I'm not crazy about the idea of having to need glasses to pop on and off during the movie. Maybe if a 3D version was included with the remastered "regular" non-3D disk, it'd be a cool little bonus, but I highly doubt I would pay extra just to get it in 3D.
