There is a lot to be said for and against both 3D and 4k. I don’t think most viewers will actually get much out of 4k in films. Especially older films. However, one thing to consider is that the compression used to put them on disk is less obvious at higher resolutions. So even a 2k film upscaled to 4k is going to look better on home video than it will in 2k. I’m just disappointed that the 4k TV’s seem to be exclusivly geared to 4k content instead of tuning them to display the best 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4k possible.

I think 3D is a novelty. It doesn’t help the story telling or the immersion. I find it annoying because the filmmaker has to direct your focus and when you watch the film you can’t refocus on other things. So it isn’t very realistic. I saw TFA in 3D and I regret that. It was a horrible experience. I prefer to stick with 2D at 2k for the time being.
