3-D

Lets' get one thing straight: I am tired of all of these movies coming out in 3-d all of the sudden. What is so great about 3-d? They charge more, it's distracting, and the color does not look as nice (it's faded). I will admit that seeing "Avatar" in IMAX 3-d was pretty cool, but otherwise, this is just an unnecessary way for movie theaters to make more money.

This past weekend, I saw "How to Train Your Dragon" in a regular format (no 3-d), and I loved it. The visuals are great, and I feel like the 3-d might ruin it. A couple of weeks ago, I saw "Alice in Wonderland" in 3-d, and the next day, I saw it in traditional 2-d. I must say that I enjoyed it more in 2-d because you could really appreciate the look of the film and the stunning visuals.

Now, it seems like EVERY movie is in 3-d. I hope that this will not continue for too long, because I truly feel that you get a better moviegoing experience with traditional 2-d.

  1. Just saw "Dragon" in 3-d. Pretty awesome movie, but the only time the 3-dness added anything was during the flight and fighting scenes. I mostly agree with you on this, it's a fun and cool effect, but I can do without it.
