3D have become a huge part of film today, with the highest Grossing Film of All Time owing a LOT of that box office to the 3D. However, films by in large still unable to use 3D very well. They are getting better, but I think 3D has a long way to go. What I was wondering, how do you guys think 3D should be used in film?

Personally I think they need to stop with the "film is reaching out to you" and should be more concerned with creating a depth of field effect. Instead of reaching out to the audiance, having crap fly towards the crowd, or stuff like that, the film should be using the 3D to push the background, and making the audiance is in the film. Coraline used this thinking to great effect, making things look like they have more demensions then a flat screen.

I think they should get rid of it entirely. It's an annoying gimmick no matter how it's used and as someone who needs to wear glasses to enjoy watching a movie, I utterly hate wearing glasses over my glasses in order to see while I see!

I don't really like 3D at all, but if it must continue, I'd also prefer the depth of field way they are doing it.

It should be used to immerse you in the movie, not have shit flying at you for 2 hours.

Avatar was an example of how to do it right, in my opinion.

3d, even the new kind, gives me horrendous headaches. I refuse to watch any movie in 3D.

There's this thing called "head tracking". Works well in some situations.

3d is a gimmick that is overblown and overused.
there is a new technology that looks *amazing* where film is shot and projected at a much higher framerate. it looks stunning, and this is where hollywood should be spending its money, rather than 3d.

inb4 Porn.

OT: Not gaming because that would cause so many deaths. 3d has kind of lost its place. I see very little for it now.
