Five Successful 3D Movies

A 3D film is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. The film industry has experienced several technological revolutions: from silent film to voice film and then to 3D movie. In the new era of 3D movie, more and more films are made with 3D effect. Final Destination 5 was made as a 3D movie; Ice Age III became a 3D movie and even Titanic will be remade as a 3D movie.

No doubt, 3D movie is the trend of film industry at present. With this effect, you can experience the same feelings as the characters in the movie. Now this post will view five successful 3D movies in recent years.

1. Avatar

No one will doubt the significance of Avatar to film industry. It is a milestone and the leader of the 3D era. Due to its success, more and more producers tend to make 3D movies. Though it was defeated by The Hurt Locker in the Academy Awards 2010, its influence to film industry is incomparable. In this movie James Cameron introduced the whole world a new planet: Pandora. Avatar ranked first for several weeks in terms of box office in almost all the countries and gave the films released in that period a nightmare. The total box office of this film amounts to over 2.7 billion dollars, which refreshes the records of 1.8 billion dollars made by Titanic, another masterpiece of James Cameron.

2. How To Train Your Dragon

The little boy made an unlikely friendship with a dragon during the war between the dragon and human. It was a masterpiece made by DreamWorks that could challenge any films made by Pixar on the ground of mixing real emotion and heart-stopping adventure. Unlike those movies that focus too much on 3D effect, this movie could also have you on the edge of your seat with your heart in your month by its breathtaking climax. The hero is no superman, just a child who can challenge those prejudices and break racial taboos.

3. Toy Story 3

Woody, Buzz and the gang take us to amazing adventure again this time, fighting against the hypocritical and evil Lotso. After ten year’s departure, Woody came back again with the mission to persuade his fellows they were not abandoned and led them to the trip of finding Andy, their owner. Toy Story 3 not only brought people the happy memory of their childhood, but also moved people with the Woody’s bravery, honest and loyalty. This film can not only make you laugh but also earn your tears. The total box office is 1.063 billion and ranks sixth in history.

4. Alice In Wonderland

This film was released in 2010. It was featured by its amazing imaginations. Tim Burton‘s twisty, trippy, dizzy and dark vision of Wonderland is so full of curls, corners and character that it would pop off the screen in 2D. Most prominent characters are big-boned Red Queen, and wonderfully laconic Blue Caterpillar. The Wonderland not only takes you to a funny world where all the things are strange and interesting, but also provides you a fantastic visual feast with its imagination and 3D effect. The total box office reaches over 1.007 billion and ranks ninth in history.

5. Transformer: The Dark Of Moon

No need to describe this film. The series of Transformer can always attract those transformer fans because the cartoon had accompanied them in their childhood. This one is said to be the final one of this series, no doubt it can exceed its former predecessors. The story tells you how Optimus leads his fellows to fight against evil Megatron to save the earth. However, the highlight of this film is the use of 3D effect. It will bring you the feelings of living in a real world other than a virtual film world. It ranks seventh in terms of box office which stopped at 1.056 billion dollars.

Of course, there are other good 3D movies. In the new era of 3D film, people’s need towards it is increasing.
