When June came, the movie Three-Body Problem 2 was finally released.

This movie is directed by Hollywood's top directors; This movie has the largest investment amount in Hollywood history; The film had three years of preparation and shooting time from the end of the first part - all these things seem to determine that this film will become the most important film in Hollywood from the day of its release.

In this summer, there are a lot of movies that were supposed to be released. Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5...... These movies are full of people's vision. It stands to reason that any of these movies are masters of making money at the box office, and the launch of any movie is not a problem at the box office, but when the Three-Body Problem 2 decided to be released in June, these movies all seemed to choose to be broadcast in May or July, leaving June to the Three-Body Problem 2.

In this June, there are not many films that are willing to compete with him in the same time period. A movie with an investment of 400 million yuan has already opened a gap with other movies at the starting line, who would want to compete with him? Compared to competing with it, people have more people who want to see if this movie will be affected by the desired effect.

In the entire United States, the number of theaters that this movie scrambled in May can be said to be the largest. After all, it is a big-budget movie, and when it was released, its influence was unprecedented.

And this influence, especially reflected in the 3dimax theater. At this time, almost all of them chose to show the movie when it was released.

IMAX movies are shot differently from ordinary movies, so there aren't many movies that are released in IMAX theaters. But this time, the broadcast of Three-Body Problem 2 has made IMAX theaters very famous, and everyone knows it. The official version of Three-Body Problem 2 was broadcast on 3dimax, and according to the publicity company, such a movie is the movie that really looks the best. This statement made IMAX movies extremely popular for a while, and it is undoubtedly a great honor to be able to screen the movie with the largest investment in history, so they also spared no effort to screen the Three-Body Problem 2.

Time. It grabbed all the 3DIMAX market.

However, more viewers still chose to watch the 2D version of the movie.

There is no other reason, 3D+IMAX, on the one hand, it is too little, and on the other hand, it is also a little too expensive.

The most important reason why American movies can become one of the popular entertainment items is that American movies are very cheap. The amount of money spent on movies is not high. Affordability, regardless of income, is one of the most important reasons why movies have become mainstream entertainment, and the price of a movie is sometimes. Of course, it will also affect people's viewing choices.

American movies have a classification system, so the price of movie tickets is also related to age. In addition to the fact that movies are cheaper for people over 60 years old, there are also children under 13 who are cheaper to watch movies - but this movie does not have to take children under 13 into account. Because the movie itself is positioned as PG-13, it is also impossible for children under 13 years old to watch it.

For those over 13 years old, there is also a difference in fares. If it is a show after 4 o'clock, it is about 10 yuan, and if it is an afternoon session, it is 8.5 yuan, and if it is a morning session, it is 6 yuan.

After four o'clock, people have the most free time, so the ticket price is the most expensive, and before four o'clock, at noon, people are busy, so the ticket price is slightly more expensive. The morning session is the cheapest because it is the least crowded, but in general, the morning session is not available every day.

Such low ticket prices are the most important reason for ensuring the longevity of the development of the American film industry. After all, only movies that someone watches can make money.

In comparison, the consumption of 3D movies seems to be a little higher.

The 3D one is $3 more than other movies, and the 3Dimax is $4 more than the average one — four dollars may not seem like a lot, but for many viewers, the four dollars are not very happy to spend.

After all, people have the impression that they simply don't know what the benefits of 3D movies are. Although there have been some 3D versions of cartoons in the past two years, those cartoons don't look much better than the 2D version. Yes, compared with ordinary movies, these movies do seem to be a little different, and when you watch a movie, you can also see a novelty, but is this novelty necessary when watching a movie? That's the problem.

If the ticket price is the same, then no one cares about looking at the 3D version and experiencing the novelty. However, if there is such a price difference, then whether to look at it has become a question for some people.

Moreover, in this era, although there have not been 3DIMAX movies, whether it is 3D movies or IMAX movies, there have been some. However, for 3D movies, people's general evaluation is not very good, and even some directors accuse it of being grandstanding, and although there are a lot of IMAX movies in the past few years, but the quality of the production is problematic, and many people think that although this model is good-looking, it makes people very tired and dizzy to watch.

After all, people are still in the exploration stage of these two things, and the movies they shoot naturally have very serious quality problems. These quality problems make many of these types of movies not good.

Therefore, although many people have hopes for new movies, many more people still have a skeptical attitude. Levy's film is well shot, but will it be successful if you try this kind of thing?

Since the movie-going experience isn't good, why spend $4 on something that isn't necessary just for the novelty? With four dollars, what is the wrong thing to do? Even if you really have money and feel uncomfortable, isn't it better to buy some snacks to eat than to spend money to find dizziness?

Compared to going directly to 3dimax, it is better to watch an ordinary movie. If the time comes, it really proves that the 3dIMAX version of the movie is good, it's not too late to watch it again.

Many people still have this attitude towards this.

Ricardo is also one such person.

Previously, he had seen the Three-Body Problem 1 movie and thought it was quite good, and when he heard that the Three-Body Problem 2, a movie that had been prepared for two years, was released, he also decided to take a look - after all, a well-known director, a long time of preparation, and a large investment, these things combined, it seems that it is unlikely to be a bad movie.

However, for this movie, he also did not think about going to see the version of 3dimax. That seems like a lot of money, and, is it really necessary to watch this movie there?

Although before, many people on the Internet were analyzing that this movie would be very good to watch in the 3D version, and they all said that those cosmic scenes can be watched in the 3D version to be more realistic, and they can better feel the vastness and beauty of the universe.

However, he did not believe in such words. He's also seen some movies with 3D scenes, and admits that those movies do seem to have big scenes, and they look more impactful than the average movie. However, many of those movies are real documentaries, science fiction movies, can they shoot that kind of scene?

In other words, even if that kind of scene is filmed, what is the point? Science fiction movies are not science documentaries, so what about those cosmic scenes? Star Wars also doesn't have much of a cosmic background, isn't it the same as the best sci-fi movie?

Therefore, what he chose was also to look at the ordinary version. Even if you want to see the 3D version, you have to watch it, isn't the movie worth it?

Moreover, even the director, doesn't he think so too? Otherwise, why would he prepare two different versions, 2D and 3D?

It was with this thought that he walked into the cinema. He wanted to see if the movie was really worth watching in a 3dIMAX theater.

The movie begins.

At the beginning of the film, it seems that a huge trench is being filmed. The camera seems to be moving inside this trench. It's just that this trench looks a little unexpectedly smooth and flat, and it's also a little surprising that what the hell is going on.

And just when he was surprised, the camera zoomed up.

And as the camera recedes and pulls up, people begin to take in the full picture of this lens. It's an ant, crawling in a deep ditch. And as the camera zooms up again, people see a tombstone, and it turns out that ants are crawling on the tombstone handwriting. And as the camera zooms out, what one sees is a cemetery - here, a funeral is taking place, and the bug on the tombstone is just an unexpected guest at the funeral, and no one notices it at all.

This opening scene almost immediately reminded fans of the words in the first part: You are all bugs.

The first part ended with bugs, and the second part started with bugs, which also made the audience a little excited. The metaphor of the ants crawling on the tombstones, so small compared to humans, also makes people immediately think about what this movie wants to talk about.

At this point in the movie, there is no cosmic scene in the movie, but it is this simple scene of ants crawling, which has already made Ricardo regret it a little.

This scene, if you look at it in the 3D version, it will be very cool, right? The first perspective of the person moves with the camera, and I originally thought that I was walking in a deep valley and could not see the end of the canyon, but as soon as the camera was raised, people found that they were just an ant, lying on a tombstone - such a shot, even if I look at it, I feel shocked, not to mention that it is in real 3D mode, which makes people feel empathy?

The magnificence of the universe has not yet been felt, and he can already imagine this kind of insignificance.

Perhaps, it was a big mistake not to go to the 3D version - at this time, Ricardo seemed to regret it a little.

The four dollars, perhaps, should be spent. (To be continued......)
