Limited edition 3D glasses for the film!

[Zulithe]

I posted this in the trailer thread but I think it is worthy of its own thread. Sorry I did a search and although news of this broke on March 25th I didn't find anyone mention it...



Two comments from me. 1) They look really cool to me 2) I hate post-converted 3D, so i'm no sure if I'll even get me a pair of these or not. Maybe if I rummage through the 3d glasses 'drop box' and find some?

Collider first broke the info. No word on which theaters will have these... possibly all of the ones doing 3D showings.

Cool. Hope we get these in the UK, I'd love a Mikey themed pair! Thanks for sharing, had not seen this before.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

If these come over here, then i am without a doubt getting these.

They where posted a while ago in one of the movie threads, but that's probably long gone, deleted by the mods.

The glasses do look nice, and might be the only PD movie merc I'll get.

I never understood the appeal of these things. Seems like a complete waste of money to me. They look like they would add weight to the glasses, making them uncomfortable, and add nothing to the experience m outside of giving you a collectible to put on a shelf.

[Candy Kappa]

It looks like they strap around your head, so they aren't like regular glasses. I don't think the added weight would be a issue, the Despicable Me 2 goggles worked fine, and they look great.

I, as someone who wears glasses, think they won`t fit.

It feels weird to wear 3d glasses and my normal ones and I didn`t expect that they thought of this little problem.

Even of they're held on with a strap, it still doesn't sound very comfortable, or at least less comfortable than just wearing the regular glasses. And I don't even get the point. It's something you wear, but you wear it in a dark room while everyone is looking at a screen. I don't know. It's just definitely not something that appeals to me.

Well, the DM2 goggles are working fine, and comes with their own small bag so they don't get dirty, if that's the case with the TMNT ones they'll be a nice replacement whenever I'm going to see a 3-D movie, a rare occurrence but it's nice to have glasses ready instead of buying the regular ones every time we forget our 3-D glasses.

Wait, you're saying your theater charges you less if you bring your own glasses? I've never seen a theater do this. They just charge extra for the tickets to 3D movies and throw in the glasses "free."

I could definitely see the appeal if you're getting charged specifically for glasses.

[Candy Kappa]

You have to buy the glasses separately, there is no requirement in my cinema about purchasing new glasses for each 3-D viewing.

[raphmike]

how much cost 3d color glasses?

[The Fifth Turtle]

Yep I need me a pair of each. Cool touch.

That's the thing that is confusing me, that your cinema is treating it as "buying" the glasses. Where I am, the glasses are cheap plastic things that you drop in a bin on your way out of the theater, so you're not really "buying" them, though it's certainly very easy to just pocket them and take them home. You can bring your own pair if you like, but it won't impact the cost of your ticket. Are you located in the US? I wonder if it's a regional thing.

[Candy Kappa]

No, I live in Norway.

We don't have a glasses bin, and I am kinda glad of that as you buy a new pair of glasses. I listen to the Major Spoilers Podcast, and they discussed 3-D and the 3-D glasses, and they mentioned a study where they had swapped samples of the glasses and actually found not only harmful bacteria on the reused glasses, but also fecal matter.. Yuck.

They're dumb and pointless but so is pretty much everything discussed on this forum.

I want them. Just because. I'm thinking they'll be AMC exclusive. That chain had the Avengers glasses too.

I think there are SOME things posted on this forum that are not dumb and pointless like...um... I don't know... The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Lol

But yeah those glasses are more for the kids. Remember, kids like the turtles too! Me at 8 years old would have loved a pair of those. Me as a grown man- well they might be a cool souvenir but they look a bit uncomfortable. I might buy a pair just to have but I'll stick with 2D or the polarize glasses for the film itself.

[Nameless]

if i can pick them up cheap and easy i'll get them.... but not spending a ton of time or money on a gimmick.

[AquaParade]

I'm going to let my excitement for something as trivial as this be proof to myself that I'm still alive.
