I already wear glasses for watching TV. Now I have to wear this s#1t on top my own glasses to get 3D? There’s no effing way I’m doing that! And another thing, because of the head splitting headache (and subsequent nightmare that night where I dreamt I had a headache) after watching Avatar in 3D, I’m pretty much done with 3D movies. Maybe because Avatar was so bad it sent me over the edge.
Avatar really was not a good movie. Had the plot complexity of any given Disney movie and all of the surprise.
I guess the movie plot best compares to The Lion King.
Is the future passing you by Bunky?
Sorry but I think the millions of Avatar fans will rush out and buy this crap making it successful. The mass of ignorant can’t be stopped and they have the money to prove it, as they already have. And if you try anything to dissuade them from their “world” you’ll pay
It’s been tried before when many of these viewers weren’t even born yet. One of my nephew had watched Star Wars: A New Hope with me and was amazed at the quality of the movie. He then wondered and assumed that movie came out when he was still a baby/kid. I told him the movie came out even before he was born
hahahaha I think he then appreciated movie a little bit more, at least in terms of plot and technology 
First Up: 3D gives me a headache.
Then: They don’t make quality films like in the years gone by.
I’m waiting for: Blogging hurts my arthritic fingers.
So, just where do the “Millenium Bloggers” hang out?
The studios have been making mediocre 3D movies for 60 years. Old news.
3D, surround sound, quadraphonic, color …
they’re all just gimmicks in untalented hands.

Cafe’s with their netbooks/notebooks playing WOW of course. Where have you been? Get with the new generation!
You making assumptions based on the replies here? You need more examples of good 3D movies?
UP! and Coraline, Dial M for Murde, Captain Neo
You’re so single minded it’s hard for me to tell whether you’re ACTUALLY serious or joking. If it’s the former than holy fck you’re a retard!
This is even better:

hey now the Lion King actually was a good movie.
This is as bad as Intel coming out with new chips every six months. Now the TV industry wants you to keep buying TV’s. The lack of profit on everything has forced manufactures of technology to find a way to keep the consumer buying. 3D is not going to do it for me. I won’t even buy BlueRay because I don’t think the price justifies the added benefit. I thought going to digital broadcast and 16:9 format was good. HD for live sports was good. But do I really need the nightly news in HD? NO. I have one local station who brags about how great that they are the only HD local news cast. Gee I wonder why?
Did he just spin having less back lights as a feature. It was all around now just top and bottom.
I expect 3D will be popular for games — but for movies it’s just a gimmick. In Avatar it was interesting, for me, for about 20 minutes.
The so-called editors here are so pathetic its sad.
Gimmick’s the word. Ya ever notice those sweeping camera perspectives, or how there’s always some small object that just happens to fly out at you, and like MANY, 3D w/ glasses gives me a headache. I seriously doubt this will be as successful as they hope. IMAX without the 3D, on the other hand, is truly immersing. I doubt we’ll be getting home IMAX machines though.
You don’t like 3D, just don’t use it; you will still be able to watch the same program in 2D mode without glasses. It is an excellent feature to have available if wanted / needed. I remember (yes, I am this old), when people said that color TV was no good.
The basic difference between a 2D and 3D is a sync signal being sent to the glasses, so the cost should only be a few more dollars for the transmitter, plus expensive glasses if you choose them.
And finally, if you get a headache watching 3D, maybe it is a sign that you really need your eyes checked.
Agreed it could be a good ‘main stream’ addition for games. But special glasses ?!? what is this 1986 ?? -> http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=11215
Top dollar for 2 decade old technology…
0. It won’t be long before your prescription will be available for the 3D glasses.
Meanwhile, does it help if I explain that your inability to perceive 3D without a headache is simply nature’s way to alert you that you should be checked for a brain tumor wrapped around the visual cortex?

THIS IS 3d ILLUSION, not 3D..
Ok, Ok, so I’m getting old, old enough to have seen Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein in 3D back in the 70′s, my eyes were just fine back then. Since then I’ve tried 3D w/ glasses on several occasions to check out the latest technology. I always get the impression of 3D like the View-masters of old, and in fact it uses the same optical effect.
Can’t wait to see toy story 3, probably the only 3D movie worth seeing.
Avatar is best described as a chick flick disguised as an action movie.
