We are getting bombarded with 3D movies, so i was wondering who likes it and who hates it? also is it just a fad as it was in the early 80's?

Me personally it's only good for specific movies. TRON LEGACY comes to mind. And certain parts of AVATAR. but for the most part i would rather watch the movie with a nice crisp digital picture in 2D.
James Cameron has said it's the way of the future, why in the hell would i want to watch every show in 3D either with glasses or not?
Also you will be able to buy AVATAR in 3D in december but you have to buy the TV that Cameron likes in order to get it!!!!! So if you already have a 3d tv you are screwed.

3-D sucks shit covered balls.

It's not a fad and is here to stay, unfortunately. There's massive amounts of $$$ to be made off it. eg +30% in ticket revenue for 3-D movies in my area.

I'm not a general fan of it. I don't hate it, but I don't exactly enjoy it either. A lot of times it looks like shit.

I cannot stand this money gimmick grab. It will work for some films and it should only be used for that.

I loathe 3 D, but sadly studios will try to make money using it

Twilight Saga in 3-D?

I'd like to see Hit Girl get decapitated in 3-D

3D in cinemas is for the most part rubbish, Avatar being the only good example I have seen.

3D at home is a a total waste of time imo.

I don't like it mostly for the reason it makes me feel terrible after only a few minutes, so it's worthless paying to see a 3D film for me.

But I'm not going to moan about the fad because there is always a 2D version of the film to see.

As for 3D televisions, they will be a failure.

Porn in 3D though.....

I can't stand it but it seems to be here to stay.

3D money shots?

If given the choice I will see a digital 2D movie over 3D any day.
The one exception may be tron.

People are probably going to ask what is wrong with me, but the only reason I want to see Tron is because Daft Punk did the score for the movie.

Avatar was good. But it wasn't the "pop-out right at you" style 3-D. Obviously all of these shit movies being made in 3-D just to attempt to sell tickets is lame. But Tron: Legacy looks real....

agreed on tron: legacy

Imagine Terminator in 3D the gun sticking out of the screen at you

Not keen on the idea at all. I think stories will suffer with rubbish being included simply to accomodate 3D.

I hate the hell out of it!

I just want to watch the story, i find that 3d takes you out of the story cause you are focusing on the thing floating by your face. and most of the 3d stuff feels forced eg. avatar when worthington turns around with the spear and it's in your face.
Terminator in 3d will suck, i'm not the one about to be shot by the gun i'm going to care more about the person on screen that is actually getting shot.

I chose "Undecided," but a better option would have been "Depends on the movie." For certain movies it is great (aka Avatar), but for most movies it just seems completely unnecessary (so glad they already said no 3D for the next Batman film). I'd say that it is unnecessary for about 80% of the movies that are released in 3D.

I don't mind it depending on the film.

All these 3D porn males, don't you have girlfriends/wives to play with...

I choose hate because they are so many of them.I liked it better when only certain movies were 3D not every movie that comes out it is so boring and annoying to have to wear those glassses the whole time.

But you don't... see the 2D version. Unless you have a crap cinema that doesn't offer them.

I chose ''Hate it'' because the only movie I have seen where I could fully appreciate the 3D was Avatar

Hate it? but you stick up for it in the horror section...

Not Really,I still Do think Piranah 3D does make a fun cinema experience,Yes,For some movies it can improve the enjoyment,problem I have with 3D is that when you watch them at home in 2D the parts that are purposely made for 3D look stupid,which I dont like as I am mainly a home veiwer,So yes,there has been times where 3D has done a movie Justice,but all in all,I would still prefer no 3D

Please Dont make me explain it all again

Well then you don't hate it... should have chosen undecided.

I don't think the cinema where I go does not offer that.It does not sound famiilar.

I don't like it generally, I prefer to watch my movies in 2D. I could imagine that it could be good, but even Avatar I really kinda wish I had watched in 2D instead, so I have not yet seen a movie I think benefited artistically from being 3D. For many it seems to be an easy way to make extra money with a bit of shitty preproduction, rather than a conscious artistic choice.

Not hate, but 3D is annoying me. It hurts my head after a while, and to be honest doesn't really do much for me experience-wise. So what if the picture is a little closer? Most films don't even use it properly.

No,Basically I do Hate it,With Avatar I make an exception.

Yes of course you do...

I chose undecided. It really doesn't add anything for me. Nor does it take much away and in certain films it can work well.

Are you suggesting I am jumping on some kind of bandwagon by that comment?

Because I'm not,I actually enjoy looking for a reason to go against one

The truth is,Avatar really is a visual masterpiece and the first time myself and well,everyone has ever seen 3D pulled of like that and show what it is actually capable off. In saying that though,it also makes all these other ''3D'' movies really stand out and just look bad in comparison

I hate 3D 99% of the time.

The only movie I truly enjoyed in 3D was How to Train Your Dragon. Avatar was adequate but still not worth the extra 3-5 bucks imo.

Add to the this the fact that the majority of 3D releases nowadays are post-conversions aka guaranteed shit.

Not at all. I just said you don't hate 3D really, if you liked it in Avatar, and it improved your enjoyment of Piranha 3D, you really can't say you HATEEEEEEEEE it.

Hate is a powerful word and gets misused a lot and this person should even hate Avatar and all 3D movies. Instead its better to say I cant stand 3D.

3D is alright... I don't like that it's still a gimmick... Where someone will randomly throw a boomerang towards the screen and shit like that, only for the 3D. In time people won't even consider it a big deal.

OK,I will agree with you, I dont HATE 3D but I guess the right words would be ''I dont REALLY like it''.

Happy?

Women

I like to watch 3D movies. My favorite is "AVATAR"..

Very happy K.Diddy.

Only seen one good example of it, and that's in Avatar. Everything else it was a waste of money.

I also dislike it because I wear glasses, and so I have to wear the 3D glasses over my normal glasses and it's annoying.

According to me !!!! I like most to watch 3D Movie.

and also the movie of Terminator in 3D will suck,I like most and I enjoyed a lot !!!!!.

you would think with the inflated ticket price, the least they could do is mold some cheap ass plastic 3D glasses to conveniently fit over prescrition glasses..

That's not so simple... I for one can't wear contacts and others have their reasons why they don't wear them. People who wear glasses shouldn't have to change to be able to see a 3D film.

And people who don't wear glasses shouldn't have to put up with annoying people moaning because they don't find it comfortable to simply wear the 3D glasses over their prescription glasses.

If it's that big a deal buy your own 3D glasses.

Not a fan at all.

Extra money on top of already ridiculous movie ticket costs (around here, it's about $10 on average for a movie ticket, and 3D brings it up to $14-15), along with the fact that 3D movies (and games) give me horrible headaches or migraines, means I'm not a fan.

The fact that I wear glasses and dislike wearing contacts (my eyesight is bad enough that contacts are too expensive and don't correct my sight as well as my glasses do) and hence 3D glasses are uncomfortable doesn't help at all.

They cant even get people onto blu ray let alone 3D

What an idiotic comment. You get glasses and try to wear ANOTHER pair over them. It's not as easy as it sounds.

The line "People who wear glasses shouldn't have to change to be able to see a 3D film." is just annoying. They don't have to change They can put the 3D glasses on top... Millions do... People just like to ***** and moan because it's not as easy for them as it is for people who don't wear glasses.

Wear Contects instead of glasses if you can.That would solve that promblem.That is what I do.

Did you read the last few posts...



My original 'change' post, before you came along, was towards the person who said we should wear contacts instead. As if it's so simple.

WAAAAYYY...UNLUCKY, SPECCY FOUR EYES.




http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/gaming/3d-glasses

I would imagine you get cinema versions of those.

So fabulous Jaden. But you get a slap for the cliche speccy four eyes.

I try to aid and insult in equal measure.

Depends on the movie. For Avatar I thought it was quite cool. For Clash of the Titans, I thought it was a monumental waste.

Waking Life in 3D would've been cool. Actually, anything rotoscoped might be a good candidate. On the other hand, I don't think 3D adds much to a Pixar movie.

I'm not quite sure what the essential cinema element is that makes 3D work for some movies and not others. It shouldn't be a distraction. The effect should come off as natural to what you're already seeing, not "imposed" for effect's sake.

Like the 3D the graphics and quality is just like we are watching some real things happening in front of our eyes.

I'm not going to wear contacts just so I can watch shitty 3D movies.

lookaround

If it was like that, I'd be seeing 3D films and not getting a headache.

I don't mind them providing on the film.

I like them although i havnt been in a while...i last went to see clash of the titans in 3D

Sky have got there own 3D channel

i like watching 3D movies. the most i like is Piranha 3D. its very scary.

I think it depends on the movie, Avatar & Inception were brilliant in 3D. So I would say I like it, but not for all movies.

Inception wasn't in 3D...

It wasn't no, he might be mistaken for IMAX. Inception was shown in IMAX cinemas, but not 3D.

I so regret not seeing Inception in IMAX.

I don't like it.

Just like drive-in movies, 3-D had its day and should have stayed extinct.

Well dear 3D movie is always been likable, its always been enjoyable, it has some different kind of things which you can't get in regular movies, you cannot get even bored if you go for any particular 3D movie again & again, so dear please follow 3D movies its great to watch.

agreed, but i will say this that at least now with the polarized glasses i can now see the movies in 3d but i couldn't before cause of the red blue lenses cause i have a lazy eye.

They are releasing starwars in 2012 in 3D, and i will go see that not primarely because they are in 3D but just to see them again on the big screen with my nieces.

TOTALLY AGREE.

I love to watch 3D movies. My favorite is AVATAR...

Pretty neat. I actually have looked into these sets quiite abit and they seem pretty impressive. Weather folks will sit and watch movie with bulky 3Dglasses is another question.

Its not that much good as i was expecting.

I like the 3d movies very much. 3d effects are amazing. I have recently watched step up 3d movie which is great. Avatar is also great one!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Studios need to realize 3d wont save a bad script

Thats why i think Cameron should've went over the script....since he wrote it back in 1994.

ive never watched a movie in 3D

Good for you.

If he cared about the script more than the graphics then he wouldn't have waited so long to release it just so he could have better CGI, sure it looked awesome but they still cared more about the CGI than a good script/storyline

Eh not like the story bothered me unlike other folks.

You mean in the case of people thinking it was racist...some people were depressed after seeing it...after I saw it the story had no impact on me...all I thought was that the graphics were pretty good

3 d is tool for movie studios to make money..

not every film needs to be in 3 d

I quite liked 3 D , the reason for this that it actually gives a feeling of reality.

The movie was racist?!?.........thats a new one to me

the only other thing that i knew of the story is it was compared to Dances with Wolves, Pocahontus, Even the creators of South Park pointed that out.
