This is one of the very best analyses of the technology I've read. I'm so grateful to you! And I'm less anxious to see the film in 3-D HFR now (not to mention relieved that I haven't missed something spectacular in my 2-D viewings).
In 2-D my mind fills in the third dimension without constantly reminding me I am watching a movie.
Yes! Well said.
Your comparison between this "revolution" and the move to color films, and how the new technology solved some problems while creating new ones, makes so much sense. It's a shame to hear that the Riddles in the Dark scene in particular was overlit, but from what you describe about the process, I see how that could happen.
Avoiding this technology for the next five years while the filmmakers work out the kinks sounds like a wise plan! Thanks for "shedding light" (but just the right amount!) on this for me. I really appreciate your insights.
