Meh, sorry none of them sound like 'must sees.'


Not even these most likely 2D Movies?

R.E.D. 2 (Comic Book movie Sequel)

Kick Ass 2 (co-starring Jim Carry)

This is the End

2 Guns

Peeples (if you like the Fockers movies)

Fast & Furious 6

After Earth

Hangover 3

I have updated the OP to include "John Dies at the End" to the extra recommended movies along side 8 others, like Kick Ass 2 & Hangover 3 & etc.

My extra top movies of Summer 2013 is at the bottom of the OP, and there's 9 of them now.

R.E.D. 2 (Comic Book movie Sequel) (I have no idea - so maybe?)

Kick Ass 2 (co-starring Jim Carry) (Jim Carry in it kinda seems like the wrong direction.)

This is the End (Seems like a stay at home on Netflix)

2 Guns (Meh)

Peeples (if you like the Fockers movies)  (I saw the first one, that was enough.)

Fast & Furious 6 (Oh, gosh, are they up to 6 on these now!?)

After Earth (Um, it has Will Smith's kid in it, so ugh, NO! That kid almost ruined HEROS by himself.)

Hangover 3  (Seems like a watch with friends on Netflix) 

John Dies at the End  (Maybe.)

Don't get me wrong, I love to see a good 3D movie in a Cinema.  But most of the cheap 3D DLP projections have ruined it for me.

I was lucky enough to see Cameron's Avatar in the heavy glasses Film 3D, and it was amazing.  The glasses were heavy, but it looked so good.  I saw it later in DLP and I felt like half the movie's visuals were missing.  DLP is like a bad disco torture.  So many of the cinemas use DLP and I would rather say home than watch the bad flickery video.

Also, I have been spoiled by my 120 Hz TV, so a 24P movie is just slow, flicker, flicker,  annoying. I’d have to have a few drinks to slow down enough to enjoy it.  And most Cinema’s around me charge for parking, so I would end up wasting too much money afterwards.

For me to go to the Cinema it has to be a good 3D film that I want to see, or something with friends.

I added some notes on the movies you suggested.

PS I really wish I could get excieted for the new Star Trek, but I watched the last one.  It wasn't really Sci Fi or Star Trek, it reminded me of 'The Rock' in space.  Sort of fun, but you constantly have to try to keep turning your brain off cause it keeps insulting you, kinda movie.  I can have fun watching the restored Oringal Sercies, though.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

After Earth. Will Smith and Jaden Smith.  Not sure why this movie isn't being talked about more.

Yeah, I didn't like the first Star Trek movie either, and I do like the 60's series more then all other Star Trek.

I only saw the first 2 Fast & Furious movies and I didn't like the first one while the second one seem like how the first one should have been, I basically tuned out after 2, but I have been wanting to see Tokyo Drift.

Jim Carry plays Col. Star & Strips, so it seems like the right kind of side charecter for him to play.

I have only seen trailers for the first R.E.D. movie.

Meet the Parents & Meet the Fockers are good movies, but Little Fockers wasn't that good. Anyways Peeples has nothing to do with those movies, except that it should be a good comedy movie of that kind of style.

I have only seen Will Smith's kid in "the Karate Kid", and he was good.

Yeah, Hangover really is like a watch later at home kind of movies. I didn't like the first one, and I haven't seen the second one but it seems like the second one should be as good as the first one was suppose to be like.

 

I have only seen 3D movies in Real D 3D and also bootleg on my Nintendo 3DS, and I liked it.

What is DLP?

And what is 24p?

 

Anyways Man of Steel 3D should be worth watching.

And is there any 3D movie of 2013 you would like to see?

Here's the List in the OP: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=154457

Yes, yes, looking forward to The Man of Steel in 3D.

DLP is short for Digital Light Processing, it uses a little mirror with many tiny little switches – one for each pixel (so a 1080P DLP TV has a  mirror with 2,073,600 little switches!) They shoot a white light through a coloured wheel that spins very quickly and the mirror rapidly change for the image.  So basically it draws a blue image, then a green, then a red.  Some newer ones have more inbetween colours.

 

When you look at it, its kind of shimmering, and when you move your eyes, many people will see a rainbow effect of colours. 

It’s cheap, so something like 80% of the Cinemas in the States use them.  I never want to waste another dollar for a DLP movie. I would describe it as watching a movie and having little ants that can not sting you or hurt you in any way crawling over you body at the same time – including your eyes.  They are just doing their thing as you watch the movie, and there is nothing you can do to stop them from crawling.  It will not kill you, but kind of ruins the whole movie experience. 

Plus, it’s from Texas Instruments, which is a really bad company.

24P refers to 24 frames per second. It was adopted as a standard by the motion picture industry around 1930 as it was ‘good enough’ for most people.  The developer of motion film warned, “Anything less than 46 frames per second would strain the eye.” As some people, like the baseball player Lou Garret, can see much faster than the average person.  (The rumor is he did not like movies because of the flicker.) Some human eyes can see things as fast as 200Hz – that would be 200 frames per second.

Do you notice the blinking of LED car lights? Of some LED Christmas lights? Most people can not see them, but those that can, find them highly irritating, distracting and annoying.

 

Others can tell you which way a helicopters blades are spinning - and count them. 

Approximately 3% of the USA has this 'mutant vision.'

Well, my eyes seem to adjust recently when I go to see a motion image at 24p & 30p & 60p. I think it's because of all the time I have spent playing the Nintendo 3DS 60P with 3D ON, while spending the rest of my time watching a standard Defintion 30p TV.

My eyes seem to adjust to make motion images look like a motion image.

And I'm not surprise to hear DLP is from Texas instruments, once you had described the stupid idea of a bunch of little mirrors, LOL.

But 60 fps became the standard for 3D motion pictures back in the 1930's, and recently they have started showing some 3D Movies in their original High-Frame-Rate format, like the Hobbit.

I have found 24P fine for most parts of G.I. Joe Retaliation 3D. But I know what of mean when watching certain 3D scenes in 24P.

Are you one of the 3% with mutant vision, LOL?

FYI if you see "HFR 3D" for a movie, then go see that 3D Movie and in HFR 3D version at that, for a minimum of 48 fps, and as high as 60 fps, like what Avatar 2 will have its frame rate and premiere be in. But I don't like Avatar, but I do want to see it for the 3D effect, and 2 & 3 for the 60P per image 3D.

Ha ha! Texas Instruments stupid idea – made me chuckle.

Oh, I didn’t know about 60 fps in the 1930s!

Yup, I have mutant vision :D

I had no idea it was different, till I was talking to one of my friends about Jurassic Park and wondering why everything was so 'click' next picture, 'click' and jerky. Why they haven’t updated movies so they look nicer.  He had no idea, and saw everything as very smooth.

Then a friend was teasing me at comic con – can you see the frames in this (pointing)? A guy in a booth overheard.  He then asked me a series of questions. Like – can you tell which way a helicopter blades are spinning and count them?  I answered, ‘duh, everyone can.’  He no, not everyone can, and explained what was going on.

I did get to see The Hobbit in HFR 3D and I absolutely like it better.  I thought it was about half way where it should be - it's still clicky, clicky, but better.  Once I saw a film at 70 FPS – and I thought – Wow this is how normal people see a movie!  It was really neat looking.  I am really hoping the new standard of 120FPS catches.

Rods are the part of your eyes that see quickly, and cones colour.  I think probably many colourblind men, because they are using more rods to see, probably have faster vision than the normal.  I haven’t quite figured mine out.  I’m not colourblind – especially for a male, I’m pretty sure I see colours well. I pass all the test.

Odly, no one else in my family has the same thing.  But I do have a different eye colour than all of them.  I think some think I am making it up, cause I don’t want to go to a particular restaurant – but it is because they have covered it with bad flickery holiday lights.

The sad thing is, I can’t play baseball.  It’s too bad, I probably could have been good at it.

Well, it sounds like maybe your mind is always running at a greater capacity then just about everyone else, at least for visuals.

The Hobbit was only 48 fps per video image (3D).

I guess 60P should do it for you.

I got to admit that CGI & Polygon graphics look a lot more better at 60P, and to see it in 3D at 60P a image is really cool. I do hate playing games in 3D at less then 48 fps per image, but luckily the only game to pull that low of a frame rate off, was Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 3DS, but that got fix with Firmware 5.0.0-11 so now all 3DS games run at 60P with 3D ON & OFF. The other console versions of Sonic Racing Transformed only run at 30 fps in 2D only and locked at that, because the Sumo engine is appearately it's very demanding on all Home & Handheld Consoles. But to be fair, the 3DS version is the only one made from the ground up for its system.

But I guess the New Handheld Consoles in like 2018 or so might do 120 fps per image because the Handheld system comes with its own screen.

I know 3D TVs since the 1930's do no less then 60P per image. But there where 3D TVs in the 1920's but their frame rate was probably only 30 fps back then.

The reason why 24P became the standard for 2D is because it makes everyday walking look like a fashion model walking on the runway as well as other movements also look better when you don't notice the choppyness. 30P looks cheesy to us, and 48P & up looks even more cheesy looking.

60P per image became the standard for 3D because you need at least 48P to get rid of the Strobe Effect for fast pace anything happening in scenes.

Do you have a HFR computer?

And do you ever see the strobe effect in 2D films?



yeah i saw Iron man 3 in 2D i haven't seen a movie in 3D since Avatar.
