While I do wear glasses, and Mark makes a fantastic point, I switch to contacts when it comes to 3d movies. Some can be good and other I just can't find a reason for it. Tangled was a GREAT 3D movie. Jackass 3 was a great 3D movie. Lion King 3D? What was the point? To see a few birds fly at yo? Because that was all that was 3D. Step up 3D, great 3D use. I think it all depends on what you see. Movies with too much action and are too long can be aggravting but there are movies with just the right formula for the 3D effects and with that said, I can appreciate it. At least they are trying to be a bit more entertaining and kids LOVE 3D. We are in a new age and while in new age, more things will come up that demand a change in entertainment. Look at Augmented Reality...talk against 3D when you've seen that! It's downright cool! I’m sort of on the fence with this one.

I perfer to watch movies in HD and am not a fan of 3D. As long as the movie is good, 3D doesn't matter. It is also costly to film in 3D. I agree with you that 3D will soon be out of the door!!

I like HD. I think the cost of filming a movie in 3D is the main reason the film makers will stop shooting in 3D. I like HD.

I think 3D works at theme parks. I can't get enough of it there. However, I was never too big on 3D television sets and films. It's just a fad that I never caught on to. Do you see 3D lasting longer or do you believe the demise is near? “A crappy movie made in 3D is still a crappy movie.” Truer words have never been spoken. I think 3D works at theme parks.

These don't mix with popcorn and a Cherry Coke. So do these ones shot with a shaky camera like Blair Witch and Cloverfield. I hope that cinematic genre goes away as well. 3D movies give me a headache and nausea. These don’t mix with popcorn and a Cherry Coke.

I somewhat think they are missing the point. What makes a good special effect is one that you never think about or notice because you are too involved in the story and characters of the movie. A crappy movie made in 3D is still a crappy movie. Also, there are a lot of people that wear glasses just to see. Who wants to fool around wearing 3D glasses on top of regular glasses? I'm not against 3D tech, I'm just biologically incompatible. I'm all for them pursuing the technology as it might be a stepping stone to an actual holo-deck type experience. :) As I state here in my blog: http://blog.markheadrick.com/2010/02/09/why-all-this-3d-technology-does-nothing-for-me/ I am simply not compatible with the 3D tech so I don’t watch anything in 3D nor will I buy anything 3D as it would be wasted on me.
