3 Ds Are Too Many For Me

Definitely agree on the Glasses with 3D part. I cannot see 3D films because of it. They don't cause epilepsy, but they do cause headaches.
I like hwhat Hwill Hwheaton has to say about this. However, I lack depth perception and thus cannot see in 3D.
You hear that James Cameron!? I won't be seduced by your cyan kitty-cat people!

As long as they started filming with the idea it would be in 3d it usually turns out great and only ads to the film's atmosphere. Coraline comes to mind.
So basically just a rehash what a lot of people were saying around the time AVATAR came out last year and all those other 3D movies were announced?
I don't mean to say it isn't worthy of saying, only that it is a year after the big denounce of the whole 3D scene and there's nothing really new here that I don't remember reading last year.

I think 3D should stick with Kid movies such as Pixar films and such. Putting them in every movie is just tacky now
Haha! I wrote an article similar to this for my school newspaper a few months ago, and I too have to wear the 3D glasses on top of my normal ones - tis a nightmare!!
Amen, sister. You want me to be impressed by 3D tech? Lose the damn glasses. When I can watch a 3D movie without headache-inducing glasses, then maybe I'll be impressed. Incidentally, I use your same rule when deciding to see a movie. If I wouldn't go see it in 2D, I'm sure as hell not going to see it in 3D. 
I have yet to see a "new" film in 3D. I remember it being non-immersive and distracting at best back when people were using it as a gimmick in the 90's.
But the reason people make these 3D movies is obviously because people are watching them, and paying money for them.
It's like the Nickelback conundrum. Everyone I ever talk to says how bad the band is, how much they hate them, yet still, they sell millions of records.
Who buys this kind of stuff??? Apparently not the people I associate myself with anyhow.

I tried watching a movie in 3D without my regular glasses. I must say, the amorphus blobs looked great in 3D, if I couldnt hear I doubt I would have known what was going on.
Us glasses wearers are in the minority here. I wonder, since the big companies are pushing for 3D to become mainstream, and since we who wear glasses are in the minority, does that mean we could get handicap parking stickers because we are "less" than everyone else?

Until they are able to comfortably make 3D that takes up your entire field of view, including peripheral vision, it will fail to go beyond an "interesting novelty." But the larger problem is that our senses aren't designed to work independently to that degree.Elizabeth Grunewald said:
What you see is only a single input. Granted, visual information accounts for about 80% of what we take in, but that doesn't mean our brain believes everything our eyes see. If you are to believe something out of the ordinary, what you feel and hear has to back up that unfamiliar input.
That means we've got to do a better job of making sure the sound backs up the sight, and that the sight isn't undermined by conflicting information (such as seeing the world around the movie in clear 2D. Really, is there a better way to do this than a helmet? Unfortunately not (yet). Even then, a helmet sends sensory information to your brain that says, "Dude, you're in a bucket. This isn't real."
Illusion relies on getting two or more senses to work together to fool the brain. 3D, unless you're sitting right up on it, is currently only engaging about 2/3 of a single sense.
What is it with people and complaining about 3D? to be entirely honest, its NOT that huge a problem, and if you dont like it just watch a 2D version. I cannot recall any film that had 3D NOT coming with a 2D version. What does it matter to you? OK its a gimmick, and?
To be honest, i think more films should use 3D, because it creates a new level of immersion. In my opinion inception would have benefitted greatly from 3D, because its the sort of film that would have worked fantastically. Ok, i dont agree to just sticking 3D on as a last minute extra for a bit more doe, from what will probably be a fairly shitty film. But if 3D is a key part of production, then it gives rise to a brilliant film. See "avatar". Ok, many people may not like avatar, but theres no denying that it was a stunningly beautiful film, and more the better for 3D.
TL;DR I dont think its too bad, go watch stuff in 2D (or get a dvd).

I hate 3D, I get horrible headaches and my nose and ears always ache like a mofo after sitting through one those damn movies because I have to wear two pairs of glasses. I skipped two movies I wanted to see in the last few months because my local cinema only offered them in 3D.
