It's mostly a gimmick, but as people learn how to use the technology well, it will become more engaging. That probably won't happen until 3d becomes consumer level but it'll happen eventually.

Your argument assumes that 3D media is equivalent to color TV. It's not. 95% of all media using 3D doesn't utilize it to its full potential, let alone use it to make a difference in the movie. And the only reason companies are jumping all over it is because it's new technology and the whole industry is acting like a bunch of immature high-schoolers going "NEW FAD! NEW FAD! MONEY!"samonix said:
3D might work eventually, but there is literally nothing about it that is worth the cost and the glasses.
3D will never, ever become the future of anything, not even an original future gimmick. Its been done before, it sucked then and it sucks now.
The future will be better, sharper images not cheesy 3D headache machines. This isn't fucking communist Russia, we know better things exist.

So why did the trend die out once before?samonix said:
It's like getting back together with your x girlfriend, it's just not gonna work, you tried the idea once and know what the end result is going to be.
And don't try to tell us that the technology is so much better now, you still have to wear those stupid glasses, the only difference is that they're plastic now...
I agree, the whole 3D thing is getting ridiculous (Piranhas 3D) plus you have to pay and extra 4 or 5 bucks each ticket, if anything 3D makes me not see movies.DiMono said:
jackass was in 3d for no reason. sure it was funny and disgusting as all hell, but the 3d format was totally pointless.
3d films tend to make my eyes bleed and afterwards i feel like i have just had a 6 inch nail hammered into my forehead, i avoid where possible, but sometimes i don't have a choice.
When the 3D is just an afterthought and is just terrible (Clash of the Titans for example) it just adds insult to injury.

I've heard they're trying to develop 3D technology that doesn't require you to wear those glasses and potentially get a headache. So that would be kind of cool. Aside from that though, I really wish filmmakers would get off this bandwagon and wait for the technology to mature.JWAN said:
You mean filming a movie in 2D and then trying to convert it to 3D doesn't work? Why don't people tell me these things!?Wuvlycuddles said:
Though it really didn't help that movie's case that it was horrible anyway. Percy Jackson was a better Clash of the Titans remake.
Well Avatar was fantastic in 3D, I say it was the best movie visually ever.
As for you people complaining about every movie becoming 3D now adays. STOP GOING TO THE MOVIES, you do not have to see these movies, it's your choice to. So shutup a your face you stupid gaboon.

Maybe some people would like to see the movies, but can't because they either need glasses to see the screen and have to wrestle with wearing 3d glasses over their seeing glasses, or the 3d effect gives them a massive migraine.Slavoc said:
3d is stupid until you can get rid of the accessories.
Also, I watched "The Final Destination" (awful) in 2d and the amount of filler shots (stuff coming at the screen for no other reason than THREE DEE!) is ridiculous and laughable, and does not make for good cinematography or movies.
Avatar may look good, I haven't seen it yet, but I think the OP is talking about pointless 3d movies.
Like the upcoming Justin Bieber biography in 3d...ugh.
