I really don't like the idea of 3D replacing 2D films. I've yet to see a 3D anything that was more than a stupid gimmick. And virtual reality? Really?

These things don't come overnight. There's no such thing as "revolutionary," the way you want to see it - everything that advances anything is "evolutionary," and yes, that includes the "revolutionary" concept of Toy Story being the first feature-length 3D-animated film. It wasn't revolutionary at all, it just took things Pixar had been doing for years and made it an hour and a half long. Why did it suceed? The story was good, too.

If you're sick of "more boring 2d processes" when they're just coming into their own in the past two decades is like being sick of sound films after 1940. "Okay, sound is boring, now what can we do?" Let it mature before you consider it "boring." There were hand-drawn animated movies for seventy years before anything close to a computer-animated movie was around, and you already expect the same drastic step away from computer-animated movies after less than twenty? Really?

WALL-E actually made me forget I wasn't watching a live-action movie a few times, and *that* is something I consider revolutionary. If that's not enough of an advance for you, fine, but these fantasies of "real advances" in 3D coming about anytime soon, and especially of anything coming of virtual reality in the next 20 years, are all ludicrous.

Now when you can strap me into something that will actually make me believe I'm having sex with Heather Graham, then we can talk.
