I was Dawn recently in the cinema, but it looked very converted to me, and in general very badly done. Then. halfway in the movie it suddenly seemed real 3d. Can anybody confirm this? Did they lack the budget to do the entire film in 3d?

The film was shot natively in 3D albeit quite conservatively. The Apes were then rendered in 3D with matching stereo cameras by the VFX company.

what? that was native and frankly it was excellent. in fact , many 3d films are there for depth not pop out effects. It was outstanding!

It was outstanding! after watching many 3Ds, i agree with you. depth is very important, pop-up is necessary depending on the situation. unfortunately, many people tend to think pop-up = great 3D. i don't blame on them as the industry somehow created this belief. |

(re: the "pop out" effect) "...the industry somehow created this belief." It not a mystery as to how the industry created this expectation; look at the posters from the 3D movies of the 50's.
By the way, the best "pop out" effects are when they give you time to focus on the object "breaking the 4th wall." The menu for the "Tangled" blue-ray is incredible in this regard. My fondest memory of this effect in the theater, howeve,r was back in the 60's. When Arch Oboler was promoting "The Bubble" in 1966, he came to Detroit to install the special screen (aluminum something-or-other, according to the interview in the Detroit paper at the time.) Of course, I just had to go see. There was a scene in a bar where a tray of glasses floats off the counter (with very visible help from wires!) and toward the audience. It "floated" very slowly so we were able to follow its approach, and to this day I remember it as being the most realistic 3d effect ever. (I'm sure it is not, but that's the memory I have nonetheless.)
Most 3D movies that use the "pop out" effect do it very quickly, and it's kinda fun to catch yourself involuntarily flinching out of the way, but the scene floating tray scene is burned in my memory.

I can confirm that the movie indeed looks very fake on European blu-ray. In the beginning scenes the trees and the people are clearly flat, only the apes (CG) are 3d. Did they lie about using 3d cameras in that interview and only shoot some of the footage in actual 3d? I am not talking about pop-up effects here but frankly I've seen better converts than what this is, it looks that bad. I didn't want to watch the rest of the movie because it was so bad. Definitely should go into the fake 3d column, judging on picture quality.
