So are sound and color. 😉

No they’re not, unless you see in black and white or are deaf. People see colors and hear sounds outside cinema. Sure, we also see everything in 3D, but the 3D movies are artificially made to look like that from 2D and it’s all one big special effect, they’re not actual 3D holograms or live theatre. That’s just the lamest and oldest excuse if someone doesn’t like 3D that then there shouldn’t be sound either. 3D has tried 3 times in the 67 years and it has always failed, because it’s a gimmick and adds next to nothing to the story. Only Gravity has improved from it what I’ve seen, and many has agreed. But you’re right about that, that playing with colors is a gimmick. That’s why I hate how modern films look like, bunch of teal & orange with huge contrast and they change it every time you travel to another country in a film. That IS a gimmick.

I’m just wishing this whole 3D thing goes away so I can watch 2D versions on the big screen again. Aquaman was the first one ever to get a 2D release on the biggest 3D screen in a multiplex here. So I guess now is the turning point.

Edit: and just to make one more point, you can still film in B&W and without sound if you’d want to, and no-one is going to make you force to see them in color on the biggest screen or ask more money for it.
