Dredd (2012)

how bad is the film meant to be? (as in violence etc...)

I think the word is 'sublime'.

[IndigoPrime]

Isn't that up to the venues/theatres themselves rather than the Distributor?

Possibly, although I've no idea what deals have been made. Reportedly, Vue is essentially claiming there is no 2D print to people who call, whereas Cineworld simply says it knows of it but has no plans to show it in most places. Showcase is the same. I guess as of tomorrow, time to bow out of every Dredd movie thread and wait until the film shows up on iTunes, to avoid those spoilers. (I think what irks most is our local Vue's still showing Brave in 2D and 3D, but there's apparently no room for any Dredd 2D showings.)

Just take the glasses off? The only difference is I think the background will be blurry. And only in parts.

I've heard similar comments elsewhere, but they vary between people saying "you can still watch a 3D film without glasses just fine" and "it'll turn into a horrible blurry mess—don't do it". I guess it's down to the actual film, but it's certainly not something I'm going to risk 20 quid on.

ok sublime then

It dwells upon violence and shows it in all it's horror and beauty: think of a trippy anatomy lesson.

Cineworld in Dublin have one 2D showing a day so I think it's pretty much up to who's managing each theatre what way they present it. 3D will bring in more money so that's what they're mostly going for.

I watched Prometheus and Spiderman mostly witout the glasses, there was little difference.

Ok! Rant time! . . . 'film reviews' on Radio 0ne has given a 3 star rating to Dredd and compared it to The Raid, which apparently did things better!? The reviewer didn't seem to know much about Karls previous film pedigree?! . . . struggling to name the last big film he starred in! Totally incompetent review and poor PR for our movie coming out tomorrow sadly 

Who gives a flying fuck what Radio One thinks? They employed Chris Moyles.

Having said that, there's isn't that much 'gore'.

thanks. after the last one, I didn't think it would be an 18, I was looking forward to it as well

I was gonna say, I didn't notice much difference with Prometheus either. I find cinema screens aren't very sharp at the best of times so I don't expect much on that score. Still a gamble though.

I was all built up for some really extreme gore, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Now, I'm not saying it was Balamory. It is bloody gory - but beautifully so.

Especially that last [spoiler]MA-MA[/spoiler] shot. How good was that.

See, I was thinking it could probably squeeze a 15... but on balance, yeah, I think it does.

Yup - astounding stuff! Need to see it again!
