3 Ds Are Too Many For Me

[Lazarus Long]

No sir, I don't like it. Of course, my opinion doesn't matter much, seeing as how the last movie I saw in the theater was Sherlock Holmes, and the next will be Thor, as long as one of those select theaters is within an hour's drive of Nowhere, East Texas. It takes rather a lot to get me to watch a movie with a crowd.

One question: Are those cows small, or far away?

Well said!

I hate 3D cause I have to wear them over my normal glasses, not to mention it doesnt really add all that much to the movie.

Same here. Plus with me it gives me headaches and makes me nauseous.

The only movies I'm willing to put up with the pain of 3D for are Pixar movies. Everything else I'll see it 2D.

Or I would, if theaters near me didn't jump on the 3D bandwagon by offering all movies in 3D. And only in 3D.

Kiss my ass Hollywood.

I agree that the majority of 3d movies today use it as an unnecessary distraction, but I truly believe that, sooner or later, through some form of technology, 3d viewing will become the norm. The only movie I've seen in 3d is Toy Story 3, and I can safely say that it added to the experience as a whole. It wasn't shoved in my face, but it wasn't absent either. The only reason I didn't forget that it was there was because I couldn't stop admiring every toy model and environment that was presented. I believe that video games will benefit even more from stereoscopic displays due to their nature. On top of adding to immersion, it will also add situational awareness similar to how high definition did. While I can't see myself obtaining a 3d tv anytime in the next few years, I'll be picking up a 3ds on day one and can't wait to look across Hyrule Field in an all new way.

Yep, I had to see Avatar again in 2D because of the fuzzy image through the glasses and the general feeling that you are fighting for control over the len focus. If it's 3D, you want to look at the objects before you. However, film is still a 2D medium. Focus is still decided by the film makers. The 3D in films just makes me feel like I have cataracts. I want to look around the scene but I'm forced to look at what the film wants me to be looking at. Until a film can react to my own eyes, then it's simply a useless gimmick.

Agreed. Two pairs of glasses do me no good at all. They're just...pesky...beyond that, the most I want from 3D is at amusement parks or in the 3DS. And that's only because they're promising games I like, and also promising glasses-free. Color me intrigued, but a gimmick for the sake of fun ceases to be just that when it's not supposed to be a gimmick.
