Digital projection and 3-D are here to stay

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2006)

I was The Nightmare Before Christmas DLP this weekend at our local theater and was very impressed. This film has always been a movie favorite since it was released in 1993 however my favorite part of the film has been the Danny Elfaman soundtrack. This new release was an impressive display of digital projection and 3-D rendering technology. Mad props to the folks at Pixar. I can totally see all movies being digital 3-D within 10 years. Home theater systems are getting so large nowadays there's little technology incentive to go to the cinema otherwise. I also believe that this would save production costs by avoiding printing digital footage on film. I think its unknown at this time whether the digital format will make modern films more susceptible to piracy. On a good note, the digital sound system at the theater was awesome!
