Yesterday evening we went to see Baz Lurhmann’s lastest effort. The reviews of the critics have been mixed as best, so my expectations were relatively low. I was also concerned about the running time of 2h 20. This was my second 3-D fils after the latest Star Trek.
I think the use of 3-D for Gatsby was often a case of it being used because it was available, rather than usefully adding to the experience. All the same, I enjoyed the film. Good music, good acting and I story that I had not experienced for a long time.
Another example of a technology being ‘flavour of the month? Or more cynically, the masses bring sold something as great, that in fact is not, just to increase film studio revenue?
