Oh god, I remember the 80s 3D glasses - now that was pure dorkdom.
Personally, I have no need for movies to be "more realistic or whatever they're supposed to be because they're 3D. If the story isn't enough to pull me in and keep me, stuff flying off the screen at me isn't going to keep me.
YES. This exactly. I'm absolutely the same.
That's an interesting essay... and I see his point, the vision that filmmakers are reaching for in 3D is very interesting. But the current 3D technology is not much closer to achieving it than the 80s version was, IMO, and there's no use hyping this specific technology as something that it patently is not.
I really wonder if the movie people realize how many people wear glasses and/or have eye problems that make the whole proposition impractical and/or painful.
I suspect this is the kind of consideration that is handwaved in meetings where everyone is all gung-ho about the great new technology. Those few people with glasses, tsk, they can just get out their contact lenses. What, you mean there are people who don't have contact lenses? No way!
