Yep, I dislike a lot of things about 3D, but the dimness and screen-door effect drove me up the wall. And it would give me a headache. I was pleasantly surprised at just bright and contrasty Star Wars 3D was, and the image was mostly solid, but even more surprising was the fact I got no headache. This is the first 3D movie in fact at a theatre where I've not gotten at least a minor headache.Those who have reviewed this 3D format do say that the laser tech mostly if not completely eliminates the problems with brightness and contrast inherent with the IMAX Digital 3D format, but obviously, the image will be even better in the same 2D format.
The technology really has improved a LOT. But OTOH, as mentioned, the 3D didn't make the movie better in any way IMO. I would have rather had it in 2D with IMAX any day.
I'm guessing, but I'm thinking I'd be happy with a good quality 4K non-IMAX theatre for SW.If available, I would gather that IMAX with laser in 2D is the way to see a movie now.
I just wish they'd turn the volume down a notch or two.One caveat however is that the audio, even the new 12 channel format, is still inferior to Dolby Atmos.
