trulycrabby Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) The movie was shot with hand held cameras, which I did not know beforehand. I carry zofran due to frequent motion sickness after a recent surgery, but still ran to the ladies room before the movie was half over. So, anyone here who is prone to motion sickness might need to skip this movie. :ack2: Edited August 7, 2016 by trulycrabby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranquilMind Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Oh no. I wanted to see that. I cannot watch that shaking or spinning camera thing either. Can they just fix the camera and let the actor do the movement? So annoying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa R. Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I do wish this trend of using hand held cameras and shaky camera movements to add suspense or simulate more action, would stop! It makes it difficult or impossible to wafch movies in a theater. If I do go to a theater: Sit in the last row Only attend theaters that don't have an extra large screen Make sure I don't go on an empty stomach Choose a movie other than an action movie Watching movies at home is generally much more enjoyable. The smaller screen of a TV allows me to see movies I couldn't tolerate on a larger movie screen in a theater. I hate motion sickness! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Ugh, I hate that! thanks for the heads up! I had a similar reaction to the Doors movie, many years ago. And that was at home, on the TV. We had to turn it off, I was getting so sick from watching all the techno weird crap. Of course, I also probably was suffering from heat exhaustion at the time but still. I will avoid this movie. Using hand held cameras is as dumb as the trend of jeans with holes in them. Or hipsters using cassette tapes. We have better, USE better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Well that flick just lost my theater dollars. Thanks for the warning. I'll get it from redbox in a few months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have a problem with All newer action movies and their ridiculous over-the-top use of spinning cameras, shaky photography, and way too many computerized special effects. I probably wouldn't have seen it in theaters, but in case my DH tried to talk me into it, thanks for the heads up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Darn. I can't handle that well ether :(. Fortunately I am too broke to see it in theatres and will be renting it anyway, but headaches and motion sickness really plague me with such movies. So sad!

kewb Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Just had an argument with my dh about this. His defense is that the trailer we saw did not make me sick. Therefore, I shouldn't worry about it and we should see it when it comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Gosh, I thought maybe one or two of us might be affected, not this many people! I had 8 mg of zofran on board and still got sick, and felt "off" for several hours after we left. Action scenes shot with a hand held camera, what were they thinking? :ack2: It was visually interesting, though, so I give credit to the filmaker for his creativity. We left about 1/2 way through it, but IMO it is the weakest of the Bourne movies, so you're not missing much if you wait for DVD rease to see it. If you must see it, premedicate and sit in the back of the theater. Edited August 7, 2016 by trulycrabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Bummer. I remember getting really sick watching Saving Private Ryan (the combat scenes were filmed that way). Blech! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have the same problem. I could not watch The Hobbit due to all of the panning of the camera around and around! The almost constant 3D did not help at all. It is too bad since it seems like it would be a good movie without those features. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Can you motion-sickness people do 3D? I cannot and it drives my family nuts (they always want to see the latest release in 3D and I'm like...um....nope). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Last movie I saw in 3D was Up and didn't get sick per se but we all got headaches and had vision disturbances for hours after. I won't go to 3D since and my family hasn't been really pushing for it. It's sometimes hard to find the non 3D versions now... It seems most of the 'prime time' screenings at our cinema are the 3D which is a pita 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 We saw this last night. I could not believe how sick I felt. I am going to save action movies for home from now on. Sent from my LG-H345 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that movie, but watch it at home, so maybe that makes a huge difference. I don't know. I never go to theaters anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot and it drives my family nuts (they always want to see the latest release in 3D and I'm like...um....nope). I find 3D challenging. It gives me a headache. I can do it if I really have to but my preference is non 3D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot and it drives my family nuts (they always want to see the latest release in 3D and I'm like...um....nope). I can watch 3 D as long as it is only a small part of the show and the camera does not pan around and around. For example the Smithsonian had a Dinosaur one on the IMAX screen which I could watch since only about 5% of show was 3 D and when it was 3D it came straight out at you instead of circular motions and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) I was on a date when "The Blair Witch Project" came out. I made it through most of the movie but finally had to close my eyes to keep from getting sick when there was about ten minutes left. Apparently I missed the scary ending. When I dropped my boyfriend off at home, he was too scared to go inside by himself, since his parents were out.

rebcoola Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks for the heads up my DH wants to see Bourne I think I will send him. I Can't do 3-D I missed half of Avator with my head between my knees and haven't paid for 3D since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks for the warning. I don't get motion sickness quite that easily, but I do get migraines VERY easily, and that can definitely trigger one. Disappointing, too, since I really liked the first Bourne movie a lot, and have been hoping that at least one of the subsequent ones would be as good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Well that explains it! Multiple times during the movie I had to look away or close my eyes for a moment and settle myself. It seemed to happen more than normal. At X-Men:Apocolypse I had it happen twice, but I expected it to happen there- it happens once or twice with most non-animated movies. But this was more than the usual. Not enough to make me queasy, but enough that I noticed it. I didn't know about the handheld cameras or I might have considered skipping it. But I'm kind of glad I didn't, because it was a great Bourne. I cannot do 3-D or IMAX movies at all, to answer the other question on the thread. Not even for a few moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I shouldn't worry about it and we should see it when it comes out. People that don't get motion sick just don't get it. I've been told my motion sickness might come on simply due to the anticipation of getting sick rather than actual motion or visual triggers. Not helpful! And not true!
