Why I hate 3-D(And you should too)

[Kura]

3D is just a "thrill ride" nothing more. I personally prefer 2-D but that's just me ._.

I like 3D when the movie was designed for it. But when it's tacked on it's just awful.

You know when I went to see How To Train Your Dragon I saw an advertisement for Step Up 3D. Is that the best use of the technology, to have limbs flailing about your face? Is that even realistic? When you watch a live dance performance, do the dancers' limbs flail about in front of your face? (Lap dances don't count.)

Nobody wants to see a bunch 'flash in the pan' type dancing in 3D. The only people who might want this are the gratuitous hipsters, and the gossip industry. (I'm looking at you, E!)

I usually never agree with this man, least of all his opinions of Video Games. But this, yeah ... it's just a gimmick. It came and died once and it will do it again. Everyone will store those fancy new tvs with their betamax players.

.. But at the end of the day I can't see 3D films due to diminished vision in my right eye anyways so, eh.

This is my stance as well. I also think that the up charge for 3d movies is a joke. My local theatre charges 5 bucks more to see a movie in 3d. I think this up charge is just an excuse for hollywood to pad their pockets.

I hope one day some one starts a thread here about that topic.

The same thing could be said for the price markup on Blu-Ray titles vs. DVD when it's the same exact content for more money.

Either I see it in Japanese (and only kjinda understand it) and pay 1500yen or I see the 3-D in English for 2000yen.

Question about those dubs, how are their quality? ^^ I'm getting The Dark Knight and the first Pirates of the Carribean dubbed, and I was wondering if it's some crappy "turn down the english and put another language over it" dub, or if it's actually good You said you don't understand much, so that means that it's ONLY Japanese audio?

I agree with you, but some would say slightly better picture quality is worth another 10 bucks, I am not one of those people.

Every movie i have seen in the theater for the past year or so has been in 3D, and i now refuse to go there to see any 2D movies in theaters now. Theater-going is suppose to be an Experience, and i don't get that from Non-3D movies anymore.

Maybe i'm just easily taken by whats trendy?

Could be that ,or the fact that you are openly allowing a new format of film experience to your life .

I believe only films that were produced originally for 3D in mind as well as done properly should be in 3D.

The Worst Examples are:

• Clash of the Titans
  
• Any movie cheaply converted from 2D and given no effort at all.
  

The Best are:

• Avatar
• The Last Airvender. (Ok ,this hasn't been released ,but interviews with the production crew indicate the film was made with 3D in mind throughout the whole production, a very great step.
  
• How to Train your Dragon
  
• Alice in Wonderland
  
• Toy Story 3 (Saw 3D trailer and looks greatly executed
  
• UP
  
• Despicable Me (Also saw trailer in 3D.

I'm for 3D if it actually is greatly executed as well as immersing you in the experience.
