because it's nothing more than a gimmick intended to try to keep the cinema relevant in a time when everyone has their own home theater system.

Yep. That's where I stopped reading. One whole sentence in, and already you're insulting people. Incredible.

I haven't seen any hate towards it for some reason, in fact I haven't seen really any discussion about it anyway.

I quite like 3D myself.

It's shit.
The stupid glasses are shit.
It gives me a pounding headache, that's shit.
The effect is underwhelming, infact it's shit.
All the hype about 3D is irritating, shit even.
By the way, it's shit. End of discussion.

But after I saw Toy Story 3 and that fourth Shrek movie and there were flying scenes added to the movie only to add 5 dollars to my ticket- It totally lost it's appeal.

It's a fun gimmick when used in moderation.

That line was crossed a little while back, and it's pitiful to see it continue.
Every movie does not benefit from 3d.

I like 3D. Just don't make me spend thousands of quid for a 3D TV and then make me watch using them daft glasses.

3D in films and games however is getting tiring. 80% of the films/games with 3D, don't exactly need them, especially things like Megamind or Black Ops. Something built EXACTLY FOR 3D like Avatar is what we need more of.

Once in a while its alright. But it depends of what I'm watching.

Avatar's 3d was great. Using the 3d for depth as opposed to gimmicky pop outs was something i was really pleased with. But to many movie's use 3d for just that, pop outs. They are annoying, unneeded, and well...gimmicky.

Also the movie/game has to be built around it. What i fear is old movies remade for 3d at home. I've seen it happen with blue-rays before and i don't want to see it again. Seriously, putting The Road Warrior in Blue-ray didn't help the movie at all.

Also, wearing glasses over glasses is uncomfortable.

its too expensive and cumbersome and it makes our movies worse AND more expensive to view because the damn studios all wanna get a little piece of this "3d Craze" before it dies away (and oh GOD do i hope it does soon) so they make their movies to cater to 3D audiences first and the 2d second. then more theaters show the 3d than the 2d and we're all fucked up the ass with the prices of the tickets

plsu there's those of us who can't see shit without our glasses, so putting on those fucking little cardboard glasses means we'll have to take off our regular ones or risk discomfort on a level that takes us COMPLETELY out of the movie so we can't enjoy it one bit...

It is a tool.
Tools can be used in a variety of ways.
You can choose the gimmick road, plaster "3D" over everything to attract attention, or you can choose the awesome road, use it appropriately, to set the mood, to set the scale, you can do great things with it!
HOWEVER: the movie industry sees it as "With Great Power, Comes Great Gimmicks".
When will they realize that 3D works best when sucking people in, rather than punching them in the face?

I don't hate it.

It hasn't done anything against me.
I'm just hesitant, besides i got more important stuff to spend money on.

Wow, that's some outrageous generalisation right there...

Meh, I don't hate it, I just think it's unnecessary.
I agree with how most people are saying it's not so good and etc, but this is exactly what I was going to say. For me it really just doesn't add anything extra.
The only thing it adds to my viewing experience is a headache.
I often worry about getting the headaches considering I already wear glasses. Has yet to happen but I suspect it will.

I don't hate it, but I just don't think it's all its made out to be. Having seen some movies on the big screen in 3d I wasn't wowed at all, more of a meh reaction.

I HATE 3D movies with a passion. I am not cheap and I have watched quite a few newer movies (Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans, Monsters Vs. Aliens, etc.)in 3D and I am simply not impressed. The 3D visuals are distracting, they look blurred when in action, the whole scenes look darker, you have to wear glasses, people get headaches, it is super CHEESY (they often create scenes that purposefully have crap coming at you). It looks SO FAKE!!! Hello!?! People have two eyeballs when they are watching a normal 2D movie don't they? Then we already have 3D/depth perception built-in! It's okay, go ahead and make Hollywood richer while you get more poor and pay that $13-$15 at the box office. It was a gimmick years ago just like it's a gimmick today. Can you imagine a serious movie like the Hurt Locker in 3D? It would be really dumb. I have never watched a 2D movie and was thinking to myself in the middle of it, "Wow, this would be so much better if stuff looked like it was flying at my face!" I hope it goes away very soon...

yeah, I get mild ones when I watch it and my girlfriend can't stand it since it strains her eyes (she wears glasses) AND gives her a headache.
It made the entire viewing of Resident Evil: Afterlife really bad, since Hoyts refused to show it in regular-o-vision. We're both fans of the RE movies, since they're always so unintentionally hilarious, though I feel the joke was on us this time.

I dont have a problem with it I just dont understand why people act like its a new thing. I specifically remember having red and blue lensed glasses that I used to read 3D books as a child with.
