James Cameron said that he is only filming in 3D now because he loves it so much. Personally, I went and saw his "Aliens of the Deep" IMAX film and it was okay, but god damn, I get such a headache when watching 3D. I mean, real bad. I don't want to be in pain for 2 hours because everyone is having orgasims to the idea of 3D.
I understand that movie makers are trying to get people back into the theater, but you know what? They've had to deal with that since the advent of VHS. Hey, here's an idea to get people back in the theater: MAKE BETTER MOVIES!! How about a movie with a plot for once? Or even better, likable characters!!
Superman will have 20 minutes of 3D in the IMAX showing. Whoop-dee shit.
I understand that they are trying to move away from "OMG! That bat totally came out at the audiance when he hit the ball!11!!" to a more 3-dimentional depth of the film; to make it seem as if you are really there. I personally like that idea. It's one step closer to the Holodeck of Star Trek. I want to feel as if I am there, not spooked when a shards of glass flys my way.
Problem is, is that we have about 200 degrees of viewing and our periphrial vision is going to noticed that the sides of our 3D glasses are open. Plus you really have to focus using those damn glasses, polarized or not, and after 30 minutes of wearing those damn things my head feels like it was fucked by a jackhammer. That is more incentive to keep me AWAY from theaters.
