No one wants to wear glasses while watching TV if they don't have to.

Haha this too!

I myself always choose the 2D.

Super sad face. I am blind in my left eye and cannot see 3D. Oftentimes, the local theatres don't show 2D either.

Hopefully there is a 2D option. Can't stand 3D.

Yup.

Rob: I completely agree, as 3D films due to poor filming techniques, more often than not give me headaches.

Not to mention that most people can't watch it without getting headaches or suffering from other types of eyestrain - only reason they don't say much is because of mob mentality.

So fad? Yea I'd say so.

I love the super scientific fact based argument you present, then state that the facts are covered up by overwhelming peer pressure. Lol.

If the majorety of people didn't actually enjoy 3D films, they would stop making them. Given that just about every major film in the last few years has come out in 3D, and given the absurdly astronomical amount of cash they've made, I think it's safe to say it wasn't just idiotic mob mentality bringing people into those theaters

And if it was...that says some truly horrible things about the people who went to see them and the world in general.

Rant aside, I prefer 3D for action sci-fi films. Comedies and rom-coms not so much.

Agreed

The only reason why I go to watch movies in theaters is because of 3D. It's what brought my wife and I back to the theaters. I mostly DL stuff and watch it on my big screen TV at home. We've had no problems watching 3D and actually find it more enjoyable for those effect driven flicks like the RE and TF series...only watch TF 3 in the theater because it was in 3D, normally I wouldn't waste the money on bayverse crap but at least Megan F$%ks wasn't in it, lol.

And THAT Matrix HOlder is the whole reason for 3D to exist: bring people back to the movie theatre. With the quality of screen and surround sound in home cinema there's no reason to rush out to pay ridiculous prices to sit in a room with sticky floors to watch a movie when you can watch it at home on DVD or Blu-Ray.

So what do the marketing wizards of Hollywood do? They make BIG EVENT out of movies, they turn every movie into a CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE, try to turn everything on the schedule into a tentpole and make the shiny 3D bedazzle you into going back to the theatre. It's all marketing voodoo.

Screw good film making when you can have giant hands come out to you and wonky camera angle showing dramatic stairs.

Not that I am completely immune to this, I did see Avengers in 3D and Iron Man 2 at IMAX (though IMAX is on another level entirely)... but at least those were GOOD movies even in 2D. I'd rather not go see a Bay movie in 3D. The shaky cam and mess of metal that counts as Transformers in his film are already dizzying enough in 2D, I don't need the 3D. Plus them having poorly defined characters and unsympathetic leads.

As long as it's shot in actual 3D and isn't one of those 'after the fact' 3D movies, which are horribly unconvincing and a waste of everyone's money.

3D is like alcohol: it's bad for you and if you need it to make something fun, then it was never really fun in the first place.
