"Conan the Barbarian" - movie

I don't know, I'm not too interested in this one otherwise I would. What else is coming out this year in natively filmed 3D?

Not much Native 3D.  How about "Puss in Boots?"  :)

Saw Conan yesterday. The action was great , the dialogue was ok but I think for a Conan film it suffered from trying to tell to much in one go. A simple action packed story would have worked better.

Was just listening to the first part of the podcast and I thought you said Conan was up converted. Wasn't it filmed in 3D?

No Bryan, the new Conan film is fake or converted 3D.  Don't confuse the company trademark "Real 3D" with actual filmed in 3D with 3D cameras.

I see, ok, I have been confused about that.    :confused
I still would have paid the extra bucks to see it if I was already there but I'm also not a fan of the upconvert stuff.

Ok, finally got to see this after work today and enjoyed it in non-3D!  Thanks goodness the 3D showings of it have ended and now it's only in the theater I go to in "normal-D."  Anyway, I thought it had a tight story, some really good action pieces and Jason Mamoa was pretty good as Conan.  Although I thought a few times he seemed more ruthless in the "Game of Thrones" series as Drago than in this movie.  That's possibly due to him not really speaking much in the "Game of Thrones."  He moves well and could handle a sword, but did seem a bit small for Conan.  I mean, he's a big guy, just not quite a muscle bound as Arnie was in the original film from back in the 80's.  Anyway, still worth my $5. I thought.
