My Take Radio

When I first saw this trailer, I really thought this movie was a SyFy chan­nel spe­cial fea­ture. Sadly folks, this abysmal fea­ture film will be at your local the­ater really soon. God is this gonna suck — hahaha. Enjoy this gem of a trailer.

As a techie/nerd I always try to stay on top of the newest tech­nol­ogy, but some­times even I throw in the towel and give my pock­ets a rest. As you all have seen and heard, 3D tech­nol­ogy is the newest fad in home the­ater (thanks to the pop­u­lar­ity of Avatar), along with a need to keep rap­ing our pock­ets. Ini­tially, the need for cutting-edge hard­ware was based on the need for 1080p, 1080i, and 720p, then came along the 60mhz, 120mhz and the newest 240mhz — now of course its 3D. Well, get ready for some­thing new to blow your mind — and that my friends is “quad TV “. The NAB (National Asso­ci­a­tion of Broad­cast­ing) was demon­strat­ing these new TV’s which boast a res­o­lu­tion of 3840 x 2120 and up, which clas­si­fies them as ultra-high def. So these new tv’s will pro­duce roughly 4X the pix­els of cur­rent 1080p pictures.

These new tv’s will debut in Korea first, but I am sure we will be see­ing this tech­nol­ogy shortly after the 3D buzz dies down. CES has already shown us some 4K tech­nol­ogy from Pana­sonic which debuted their 152-inch plasma which is capa­ble of 3D  and boasts a 4096 x 2160 res­o­lu­tion and a 17:9 aspect ratio.

While I am all for new tech­nol­ogy, it really is get­ting fuck­ing ridicu­lous! 3D, while inno­v­a­tive, is really not as awe­some as it’s hyped up to be. (Read Handel’s impres­sions) I think that if broad­cast TV is at 480p & 720p then the next step is 1080p and then 3D. We aren’t even at 1080p and net­works are all ready to hop on the 3D band­wagon. It’s going to be sen­sory over­load, and in the end, our pock­ets will be empty and our eyes will be burned out.

So are you ready for 3D, or will you wait for 4K?

As the onslaught of 3-D movies con­tin­ues to assault our senses it seems that some films are going right to James Cameron directly to bor­row his tech­nol­ogy. After the sub­par reviews for Clash Of The Titans 3-D it looks like stu­dios plan on tak­ing their time on get­ting the 3-D for­mula right. Res­i­dent Evil: After­life con­tin­ues the story of Alice ( Milla Jovovich) who is now joined by Claire Red­field (Ali Larter) and their ongo­ing war against The Umbrella Cor­po­ra­tion. Res­i­dent Evil movies have always been great pop­corn films that while loosely based on the sub­ject mat­ter do a bet­ter than job than most  at bring video game to life. What do you think of the 3-D treatment?

Every teen movie regard­ing danc­ing ‚cheer­lead­ing or any other teenage activ­ity always does well and is known for crank­ing out end­less sequels. From Bring It On to Step Up these movies make sure to have inno­v­a­tive and cre­ative finales that daz­zle the eyes and are mem­o­rable. While the plots are for­mu­laic and the mes­sages are almost always the same these movies end up becom­ing guilty plea­sures. Now since 3-D is the newest gim­mick it was only a mat­ter of time before a danc­ing or cheer­lead­ing flick used it. With that said check out Step Up 3-D and decide if it is another guilty plea­sure or a steam­ing pile of shit.
