How to watch Avatar in 3D

Hello there you movie-goers, planning to watch the latest blockbuster movie from James Cameroon on 3D?? Worried bout getting headache for watching 3D for 2 hours 30mins like me?

Apparently, a small number of people and myself tend to shy away from 3D movies because they’re headache-inducing. Why pay so much for effects that make you dizzy and your head explode with chances of spoiling your jiwang time with your bf /gf after the movie? Here’s what you can do to avoid it, or at least reduce the side-effects

The reason we get all those headaches is because we tend to focus on the part of the scene that is out of focus. Look at the example below, a shot at Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, The guy’s face is out of focus while the shot is focused on the female’s face. We sometimes focus our eyes on the blurred part of the scene because some small details are shown on the background or for some horror movies, that’s where the hantu will appear from.

Focussing on the blurred out-of-focus part is the reason we get headaches from watching 3D. To enjoy Avatar in 3D, train your eyes on the focused part of the picture and forego the blurred background if you don’t wanna leave the cinema holding the wrong girl’s hand. Haha, this is gonna be hard and punishing for me and people who loves to look out for surprises and those who are observant.

MUST FOCUS ON FEMALE ALIEN BODY SAM WORTHINGTON’S FACE

Now who wanna date me watch Avatar in 3D with me? GSC only please.
