Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

When done right, yes. But i will say whenever i see a 3d movie i also see it in 2d either before or after.

Once i saw avatar and saw that this 3d wasn't just "popping out" 3d like the red/blue kind and instead more like using the screen like a window into the world of the movie I thought it was brilliant. Still didn't stop some films using it as a gimmick though.

I still kinda wish 3d took off more past the gimmicky phase. I was too young to get a 3d tv at the time and I wish I could experience some of those movies again in 3d. But even if I had a 3d tv now they haven't released 3d versions of movies outside of the cinemas in like 10 years. I would still like to get one to experiment with 3d gaming though. But will probably result in me being disappointed because it's potential was never fully realised, like 2 screen async gaming on the wii u.

If you haven't found the 3D movies, you're probably not looking in the right place.

That probably is the case to be honest
