As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more groundbreaking 3D experiences in the years to come. From action-packed blockbusters to intimate indie films, 3D cinema has the potential to revolutionize the way we experience movies.
Why You Should Give 3D Cinema Another Chance 🌟
– If you’ve written off 3D cinema in the past, I urge you to give it another chance. The technology has come a long way, and the potential for mind-blowing experiences is greater than ever. Whether you’re a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, or even documentaries, there’s something for everyone in the world of 3D cinema.
In conclusion, 3D cinema may have seemed to sizzle off for a while, but it’s back and better than ever. With advancements in technology and a renewed interest from filmmakers, 3D cinema has the potential to revolutionize the moviegoing experience. So, the next time you’re at the theater, consider giving 3D cinema a try. You might just be surprised by how much you enjoy it. 🍿🎥
Good riddance, it sucked and movies ham-fisting pointless 3D scenes in always took me right out of the movie.
Was a fad in the 90’s and still is.
It’ll be back. Horror movies keep trying it for the scare factor.
It’s only occasionally used effectively.
We don’t want to wear anything while watching your movie! Hats, sunglasses, plastic sheets. My eyes and ears will do the work.
We have VR now at home.
3D movies can be captivating when used well, but I appreciate the restraint when it comes to overusing it for the sake of novelty. Quality storytelling and immersive experiences don’t always require gimmicks.
3d movies come and go time after time. Each time the producers claim that now they have the technology that will surpass all low sides of the previous ones, and each time it is popular for a short period of time and then we go back to good old 2d movies.
Piranhas 3D is the only movie where 3D really made a difference
It was always a stupid gimmick. Only done better once by Avatar and utterly ruined hundreds of movies afterwards because of greedy cash grabbers.
Worst was the 3D TVs it spawned and the awful glasses that you needed.
Paying extra for nausea didn’t catch on. Who would’ve thought?
The technology exists.
It seems to take a whole new level of skill to make use of that technology. Maybe Avatar is the best example of well-used 3d technology. Many people will want to argue with that.
Anybody can take their cell phones and start figuring out how to make 2d videos. Experimentation and mistakes are inexpensive.
There is no inexpensive version of 3d cinematography. Nobody is going to bankroll a 3d project unless there is a high probability of success.
Someday, there will be inexpensive 3d photography and cinematography. Kids will experiment in the basement. Some of those kids will get very good at it and 3d movies will make a comeback.
Because it’s a gimmick that only works well if you’re sitting in the ideal spot in the theater.
Prometheus and Avatar fucking slapped in IMAX 3D, tho.
Because it was never all that good.
It’s a low quality half-step between traditional 2D and VR. It needs to be one or the other, cuz the in-between space just doesn’t feel good to experience.
It wasn’t really about 3D itself – 3D was just a vehicle for studios to get theaters to adopt digital projection.
I never seen a 3D movie in my life
I went on the Spiderman 3D ride at Universal (which looked real af) and was told the 3D is 10x better than the movies so I was now spoiled and never went and saw a 3D movie
Even 2d is in trouble.
Because 99.9% of the time it isn’t real 3D, it’s just the converted crap that’s a total waste of money for the higher ticket price.
It was a gimmick really, it wasn’t really 3d, it was 2.5d. The depth was really just illusion. If you had the actual ability to rotate and look at scenes from whatever angle you wanted i.e. like rotating the camera in a video game, that’d be real 3d, but it also wouldn’t necessarily make the experience better.
Every couple of years they try it again. 3D movies are older than you think
I kind of lament it too but they did shoot themselves in the foot in some ways. For instance I remember the first 3D movie I watched was some goofy thing in Branson Missouri and it had bees that attacked the audience and it kind of freaked me out. But that was when I first realized I think I needed glasses because they just didn’t look right and a year or two later I ended up getting glasses. Then after then I still enjoyed some 3D movies but as I got bigger my glasses got more complex he was really hard to double wear them they needed to put out some kind of clip-on ones so the visually impaired like myself could enjoy them. I mean I don’t know what the ratio of glasses wears is in America but I would say at least half of the people I know wear them.
i have a hard time finding 3d content for a 3d tv these days
good riddance, that shit made me so nauseated. I’m glad to be able to watch regular movies again.
I don’t like the way it makes picture darker and blurry.
The irony that 3D movies proved to have little depth
It will be back again in the 2040s
Not as quickly as the stupid TVs.
3D cinema sucks if you wear glasses.
It sucked and was just a gimmick excuse to sell more expensive tickets and an attempt to fight piracy anyway
It added nothing but an extra cost and distracting effects that broke your immersion.
They still got imax movies that require 3D glasses. I don’t think they were ever a huge thing though.
I’m sad about it personally. I have really good memories of seeing 3D films in theaters (Avatar, How to Train Your Dragon, Hugo, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc…).
Even on some movies where they added 3D afterwards, it could sometimes be awesome (Titanic!).
I miss it, I’ve been seeing about a hundred movies in theaters per year for the past 15 years, and I can really tell you, 3D movies gave me a kind of immersion I’ve never found anywhere else, compared to all the normal movies I went to (which can still be amazing in 2D, thankfully).
Fizzled, unless someone cooked the movies
It only existed to try to get people into movie theaters. Once they started developing 3D televisions, movie companies lost interest.
We need to bring back the real innovation like John Water’s film “Polyester.” The audience would get scratch and sniff cards for an experience called “Odorama.”
**”When the film was released in 1981, it was accompanied by the wonders of Odorama: scratch-and-sniff cards were distributed to audience members, who were then cued by the film precisely when to scratch off each of the ten numbered smells. In the inimitable Waters’ conception, the gimmick was also a genial prank on moviegoers: among the scents were fart, skunk spray, and dirty shoes.”**
Anything that requires you to wear glasses (especially if you already need glasses) will fizzle out. Not because of cost, lack of interest or anything; it’s just because wearing glasses suck.
This includes home 3d glasses, VR goggles, etc.
Same thing applies to VR, until we somehow can use VR without wearing extra peripherals; it will never be the main source of entertainment like all these tech companies want it to be.
I can only think of a handful of movies where the 3D actually enhanced the experience enough to make it worth it.
Most movies with it are just fine without it in my experience
Because it is a bad experience. But don’t worry, it’ll come around again in another 10 years or so. It always comes back.
Wasn’t a big fan of having to wear dumb sunglasses to watch a movie. Glad the fad is gone.
HOWEVER if you aver have the chance to see Friday the 13th Part III in 3D, DO IT. Also Jaws 3D.
Was rarely done well in live action movies. Animated movies, 50:50 but not dire.
And lately, sometimes it’s only done for the action scenes and they save a bit of money on the dialogue scenes.
I think the highly gimicked version of 3d films has passed though I think there are applications that work. I watched the recent animated Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 3d and felt it added to the experience.
I’ve noticed some people get sick when watching 3d which sometimes means 2d is default for a friend group or family.
It’ll come back in 15 years.
3D always comes back around every 20 years or so when people collectively forget how underwhelming it was last time and also hope that the tech has progressed to the point it’s not just a lame gimmick
The color of 3D movies are horrible and they give me a headache.
My uncle was so upset after we watched a 3d movie. He was so hyped about seeing 3d. Little did he know, there is no technology to make a one eyed person see 3d
