Because 2D movies are way better at giving a sense of depth than 3d movies are. When I close an eye I can barely tell the difference. In a 3d movie everything is "ZOMG ITZ SOOO 3DEEEE!!!!!!" They try and give the impression that 2 people standing just next to each other are actually 1 person in front of you and one giant the size of a large galaxy several light years away. That's probably a big part of why they give you a headache.

Actually, because Orwell used a lot of depth and layering in his movies something like Citizen Kane in 3D might just work.OlasDAlmighty said:but using 3D in a serious film is just silly.
But of course that means converting it to 3D and that pretty much always looks like shit. But I agree, it's just another tool in the director's box and if used right I think it can be pretty awesome. Avatar? Looked stunning. Thor? Could've done without it with ease, not worth the visual strain.
It's just so easily misused and the tech could use some more advancement. I really don't like wearing two sets of glasses y'know.
I can't speak for you, but I don't see everything like they're paper dolls in a diorama, which is what most stereoscopic 3D looks like.OlasDAlmighty said:
So no, it doesn't look "how it's supposed to look".
Also, it washes out the color palette.
Also, it's three bucks more.
If I can see the movie in 2D, I much prefer that.
Personally, I actually like 3D. Most of the time it's used badly, but the few times it's used well, specifically Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon, more than make up for it with me. Also, it's not like theaters have stopped showing movies in 2D, and I very seriously doubt that they ever will, which provides a very easy solution to a movie with bad 3D.
It's an effect which adds production cost to a film and jacks up ticket prices, while adding nothing to the overall experience.
It's worse for gaming because you need special hardware to get it to work.
It irritates me as well. When I saw Avengers in the cinema in 3D, it was fine for the most part, but the 3D heavy scenes made my eyes hurt.

Oh God 3D is just awful, I found it awful on Avatar which seems to be the film most people are OK with it being on.
I've seen, Avatar, Harry Potter and Resident Evil in 3D just to make sure I really did hate it. Everything was blurry, my brain struggled to process the 3Dness, which is why it was probably blurry; the quality seemed poor, the glasses you're provided just seem like cheap ones that don't really help and frankly it spoilt the movies for me (Although, Avatar and HP were crap anyway)

the only reason i will ever watch a 3d movie is when the color doesn't get muted by the thing, i don't have to wear glasses over my giant ass hipster glasses and directors get a mandatory 6 month course in how to use the fucking thing. no more stupid gimmicky things jumping at me.
oh and i will not pay more money for 3d.
also: wtf is up with people calling normal movies 2D? it creates the illusion of distance and perspective, just like those damn glasses do, until we start projecting holograms we will have have a flat plane with gimmicks attached.
oh and the whole "full screen local MP" is super cool

It's not as bad as people make it out to be, but it is abused by studios. If done properly it can be excellent, if done badly it can damage a film. If a film was actually filmed with 3D cameras, I am a lot more likely to see it in 3D. Post production 3D is a big no-no in my book, although there are exceptions.
People like to say that 3D is to add depth instead of things popping out of the screen, but I like both. Seeing a well shot 3D world can be a sight to behold, but I also enjoy the occasional "HOLY SHIT" popout moment during action sequences and the like.

it's darker than non 3d, and i am more or less a person who has one active eye, so i have hard time seeing it, and because of it, i tend to get headaches
Pretty much this, I'm not particularly bothered by it though either way. My main experience is with the 3DS where I swear it's mostly pointless or not implemented well to enhance the experience.Daystar Clarion said:
Looks kinda pretty sometimes I guess, but if i take my specs off I can't see the game well enough at the right distance so i can't really play in 3D at night.
Drains the battery too.
So yeah, meh, I don't hate 3D, it just doesn't matter to me.
I didn't hate 3D at first.
But nowadays, i'm just sick of paying extra (where i live, there's almost never the alternative to see a 3D Movie in 2D) for movies where i either "forget" halfway through the movie that it is in 3D or find the 3D distracting because of the forced viewpoints of 3D (as in, you can't look at things out of focus or else the 3D effect gets weird), the darker image or because of headaches.
I really only enjoyed 3D in animated Movies (Up, Coraline and Avatar because...well, say what you want, it's pretty much a CGI Movie) where you can actually create a convincing illusion of depth (well, that worked in Avengers too, but only in like 2-3 scenes in the whole movie) or in movies where it's just a shameless gimmick and the movie revels in it (Drive Angry, Resident Evil:Whatever)

I don't get headaches from it.Mick Golden Blood said:
It does however strain my eyes, making them tired after maybe 10 minutes, because I have to actively attempt to see it and would rather not loses quality visuals for the sake of it.
My bigger issue is it adds nothing to games.
Well, first off it isn't true 3d. It's just an optical illusion that our brains interpret as being 3d.
The problem here is that this causes additional strain on your brain because it has to work harder to interpret what you're seeing and thats why people (including me) tend to get headaches from it. And headaches, for those of you who are mercifully free of such an affliction, suck. It's kind of hard to argue the merits of 3d when it literraly causes you physical pain.

Have you ever seen a 3D movie? If so how many? Was it good? How much do you base your opinion on those of others, since you don't seemingly form one of your own and instead make threads about it?
I've never seen a 3d movie, I never will. I was adamant about it being a bad idea from the beginning. I will concede the fact that Avatar would be worth seeing in 3D.
Congratulations, you have wasted hours of humanity's time.

Except theatre tickets are a set standard price independent of a film's budget; and the cost of 3D technology is extremely modest compared to some of the things producers put money into when funding film productions. The fact that theatre chains try to exploit 3D movies to suck extra money out of your wallet is their own damn problem and it's beginning to bite them in the ass.King of Asgaard said:

We haven't been 'settling' for 2D, it's an intrinsic part of the medium of film. I'm happy for 3D to develop on its own course, (possibly into some 3D arena hologram type presentations). And if that development has to start that by piggy-backing off film then I'll have to accept it - but I won't go and watch it. In it's current form 3D is still a gimmick. A trick played on the eye and the brain to make it believe it is seeing a three dimensional image where there is none.
If you really want 3D, go see a play. It's even better.
I think 3D is a bag of bollocks. I don't like swearing online, but that's exactly how I feel about this false technology.
Whenever someone claims a movie is in 3D, I immediately become "that guy" and correct them.
"No, it's not 3D, it's false 3D... the illusion of 3D."
If 3D really was 3D, then I could shuffle to the left or right of the image and receive a different perspective of said viewing image. Instead, the image splits in two and I get eye-strain from looking at it after a couple of hours.
Holographic TVs, the very things currently in prototype and development, are expected to become commercial by 2022. They are true 3D, not this fake eye-straining illusionist technology we're using now.
So basically, fuck 3D. It's a cheap trick sold to make a killing. 3D is, oh I dunno', fucking 3-Dimensional; not this 2D shit with an illusional effect.
