ALICE IN WONDERLAND fakes 3-D

ALICE IN WONDERLAND was shot in 2-D and converted (faked) into 3-D in post for business, not artistic reasons. The Studios are capitalizing on AVATAR'S 3-D success and faking films like ALICE, IRON MAN 2 (now reverting back to good old 2-D), and CLASH OF THE TITANS into 3-D in the post production process because they expect the average consumer to pay the extra 3-D ticket price just because 3-D is AVATAR hot right now. Given the box office success of ALICE to date it seems to be working which shows the smarts of the Studios and idiocy of the average ALICE IN WONDERLAND movie goer.

AVATAR 3-D was shot stereoscopically for 3-D in production and this is why the 3-D in this film looks so beautiful and appropriately 3-dimensional. This is the only way 3-D should be made. ALICE IN WONDERLAND looks gaudy, inconsistent, and has odd fake shadows in many scenes and should have remained a 2-D movie.
