There were only two points at which a few people (mostly parents kids) in the big cinema I saw this at laughed. Surely, that's not because English patrons don't get American humour (even at the age of 6-10). What I was most surprised about, though, was the poor use of 3-D for the being presented in 3-D was a major selling point of this movie's PR. It does bring up a very notable point about 3-D, though, which is that most people will not find it worth watching 3-D unless the 3-D is actively used. And with active use I mean in your face, thrill ride and gaping depth 3-D. As a 3-D producer, I am always looking for the balance of just how much of the off-screen and in-screen extremities need to be used to please a 3-D glasses-wearing audience. And personally, I found the balance in 'Robinsons' to be way off. I understand that studios want to show films in 3-D because of the financial imperative, but if they keep pumping out bland 3-D films the audience is going to not want to see 3-D films any more, if only because most people find donning the glasses quite a big hurdle. Patrons are fickle and the potential of 3-D releases must not be killed off by greedy studio execs who just hit the 3-D switch for the sake of squeezing an extra buck out of a movie. Oh dear, that's it then. The end of 3-D film is near again (nothing new there). Check out http://www.the3drevolution.com/3dtheory.html for more theory on 3-D film making.
