Watch some 50’s 3D before damning the format, thank you very much.
I’ve seen a couple. Dial M for Murder and House of Wax come to mind. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant and probably made me dislike the movies more than I otherwise would have.
I legitimately just don’t understand the appeal in any way.
Did you see them in their original format? Most people have seen the classics with the red/blue system which is inferior and cause eye strain. A lot also depends on the technical presentation. Half the 80’s 3D flicks I saw back in the day suffered from dodgy projection or dim bulbs.
I grew up fascinated by 3D. Still have a lot of Viewmaster reels and a pair of lenticular space photos that I need to find a spot on my wall for.
