So for the past few years I've noticed an increase in the number of movies being presented in 3-D.
Why does anyone think that wearing some butt ugly glasses that don't fit properly over regular glasses and are uncomfortable will enhanced my viewing experience? Oh, and BTW, you have to pay more for them on top of the movie price.  __________________________ Rolan Kraps Gainesville, Georgia.

The theaters are trying to add value to their products (movies), as the home movie experience has become so good over the past decade. With you high end TV and you BlueRay player (PS3), plugged into a high end receiver, push out DTS surround sound into your very own living room - why go out?
3D is something that you can't get at home (yet). Plus they make a few bucks on the goggle rental (or some times call it a deposit). At the end of the day its about butts in seats, and the theaters are trying to get more of them... - Matthew i see the world through the scope but i gain no insight with it when i get introspective i put the safety on |

Because hollywood finally figured out that content and artistic value wasn't important as effects? I can't wait until they make African Queen 2: the crapening in 3D

New tech, new toys. They test the market to see if it's worth the added production costs. This past year i saw Coraline in 3D (fantastic use of the medium in an okay movie)and Up! (okay use of the medium in a fantastic movie). And yeah, I have to put the glasses on over my glasses too. Not something I want to see every movie in, but still a neat experience once in a while. Our local theater also has one theater equipped with the DBox seats. I have yet too see anything in those, but if the movie is right, why not!

I've never liked the 3D thing. I'm not impressed by them and I'd rather just see the film on a really nice big screen in full digital picture. I really like the IMAX experience, but I have to be up high and in the back for that one.

1. Well, because movies are mostly crap now. Either it's prepackaged hollywood bullshit, a remake of an old film or idea, or a crappy sequel or big budget action film with more special effects than plot.
2. With how good new TV's and stereos are in the home, and how frickin' annoying other people are in theatres, i would just assume stay home and watch it here. I'll wait 6 months for it to come out on DVD or blu-ray just to not have to put up with the general public that goes to movies. No loud teenagers, no obnoxious children, no people on their cellphones, no fatties gorging themselves audibly at their trough, no one talking constantly through the entire movie. 3. Movie sales are down a bit because of the economy. That's a disposable income that IMO, would be one of the first things cut from the budget if i needed to cut. Kevin Karma? Karma is just justice without the satisfaction. |

3-D came out in the 50's and I seen about 5 or 6 movies,"The Maze,Gorilla on the loose,etc."Not bad movies for the time,I hear the effects are much better today. I was about 11 at the time and even had a 3-D comic book.It came with a set of pop out glasses,wish I still had it,it would probably be worth a few busks today.

here in auburn, they sell those 3-d glasses for $5-10...that's probably all the reason needed
so more many for the ticket plus a charge for the glasses I assume equals more profit for everybody Shoot low boys! They're riding shetland ponies! |

I think the recent 3D craze is to disguise the fact that they have ran out of ideas...baffle you with bullshit and special effects.

Again, there are more good movies now than ever before, a surge in 3-D movies probably indicates the technology is more accessible and affordable, nothing more.
