It probably is just a gimmick, like color TV.
It won't last long once we get the technology to project your favorite shows and other stuff (like everything on the internet or just your games or desktop) directly into your brain, but until then, we might be stuck with it.

HD: More pixels. TV screen resolutions have been improving since they first came out with TV.lostzombies.com said:
3D: Another dimension. That's never been added to TV before.
3D won't completely overtake 2D, but it's foolish to call it less of a leap than HD. With 3D, some radically new experiences are possible, rather than just sharper experiences.
Imagine if Kinect let you reach out and grab a 3D object in front of you. It could create the illusion of your hand squeezing or manipulating the object, as long as you kept your arm in the right position.

you have a popular opinion and share the same sentiment of EVERYONE (critics, internet personalities, this entire forum)
3D has the capability of becoming a gimmick but it also has the capability to make a much more enriching and visually stunning experience. It all depends on what the directors do with it.
This is a classic example of blaming the tool, not the carpenter.
I've given my opinion on 3D on another thread a while ago, but I'll rehash it here.
3D is NOT the future of video. But it could have some very good uses. Not every movie and TV show should be in 3D, but there 3D could instead be used as a tool in filmmaking. For instance, did you watch Avatar in 3D, then in 2D? The 3D actually makes a huge difference in the action and describing the world. Not every movie needs this, not at all, but plenty of movies, especially in the action genre, could use 3D to make the movie more eye-popping. Maybe in the future 1/4 of action movies will be in 3D. Not quite the standard, but a well-used technique.
3D could also be a great thing for theatres. With the extra complexity and cost involved in 3D (I'm not sure what it is, an extra $2000 to get a 3D TV?) it could act as a catalyst and help get old movies back on the screen. We've already seen that to an extent with Avatar.
Either way though, the massive hype around 3D is totally unjustified. Heck, I don't even like HD.

That's what I thought to. I was like "Yes! Someone who likes 3D! This will be refreshing." I don't care that it makes sense, 3D hate has gotten so trite.liveslowdiefast said:
Honestly?
If done properly (see Avatar & RE:Afterlife) 3D can be very immersive. Right now, you have many people just using it as a last minute gimmick to entice a few extra bucks out of the average movie goer.
I'm still "meh" about the whole 3D thing. I really hate the glasses you have to wear for many of the movies and games, but thankfully technology seems to be working out a noglasses viewing experience for me. Woo! Yay technology.

I like 3D...but this fad is not what it advertises.
The movies just look like they have two layers....That is not 3D to me!
I want things to pop out at me!
Essentially i won't buy into 3D until the 3D is the equivalent of the holodeck in star trek lol. Which will never happen.

If done correctly in movies (aka add dept to enrich the movie i am all for it) Just try the in your face scares to stay in a minimum. I own a few 3d movies on dvd and i like them all.
The thing i am waiting for is glassless 3d tv. The glasses in My bloody valentine 3d mad my nose hurt due to the extra glasses i suddenly had to wear. Half the movie i got the idea i was looking at an interactive horrorgame (blame sierra for that).
Very interested to see when console gaming will adopt it in a good way (to immerse you more).

Honestly, right now the technology is too expensive for it to catch on. It might later on in the future as prices go down though. Also, I have never seen a 3D TV or any recent movies in 3D, so I don't know how good is the technology nowadays.
No, you're not the only one...
3D is the next big gimmick. It's not something I look forward to, wish to support, or put any hope into. Unfortunately, there's a ton of people who have already fallen into this gimmick, and are planning on spending the money necessary to support it.
Eh, eventually people will get bored, and move on. By then, there won't be enough profit to justify the campaign to promote it, and so it'll eventually wear out. I could be wrong, I suppose only time will tell.

That technology is actually a 90s-thing and has been around in disneyland and other stuff like that for ages. Currently it has it's renaissance, because it makes ripping movies and spreading them over the internet harder. So yea, not the future of movies. May the future of popcorn theatre, though.
I still think it's purely a gimmick. even the things you said with a kinnect combination, let's face it it would be a gimmick, you wouldn't be able to have real games like TF2 or call of duty etc with with that tech, it would be for arcade titles only.Chamale said:
Not that 3D should be binned forever, it's just that at the moment the 3D tech is nowhere near advanced enough to cope with consumer demands.
Well, to give some insight as to what a hollowed-out, soulless human being I must be for not enjoying the over-rated [CESNORED because you can't swear on the internet |:|]fest of a film that avatar was, here is me watching the film:
"Ooh, 3D."
"Bored now."
"Ooh, cool graphics."
"Bored of that now. What else?"
*nothing*
"..."
*three hours later*
"BRAAAINS!!!!"
And I have found everything with 3D like that. A cool gimmick, but the effects sorta wear off halfway through. So probably not worth the expense, unless you make very, very good usage of it.
I've never gotten much out of 3D. Whether it stays around or not, I don't care. I DO care if it acts as an illegal ID to get more crappy films like avatar through the borders carefully watched by film critics and into the wonderful nation of "Popular Cinema".
You broke my heart, James Cameron

No.
If anything, I'd be closer to being the only one if I said the opposite.
I love 3D and think there could be ways of taking it forward to way more than just a novelty if only people are open minded to that possibility.
And 3D's been happening for much longer than the recent craze, something most seem to be rather blind to. Remember the red and blue glasses? Or films like Jaws 3D? No? Why the hell not?

let me get a bit annoying here. I hear the word fad come past several times on this topic about 3d movies.\
The first 3d movie was made in 1952 (Movie called : Bwana Devil).
The only difference with now is it is easier to make and to show in cinema's. 3D will not die.
I think we all agree on the definition of fad. Ok then if 3d movies are a fad it had been one that has lasted a VERY LONG time.

Quite note:
You are never
EVER
The only one. To quote... someone, "Remember, you're special. Just like everyone else in the world."
I present my "am I the only one?" list...
1. It's your opinion.
2. It's fine to have your opinion.
3. You choose to hate it, we choose to like it. That's fine.
4. Actually, no one cares about your or my opinion.
5. Did you really have to make a thread about it?
EDIT: On 3D: It's a fad, as is everything. How long it lasts depends on popular opinion, which is hard to control.
