Roger Ebert is probably having a conniption about this.

I still get excited over 3D movies, as long as I know someone is directing that can and will do interesting things with it. But I’m over the post-production conversions. Even the naysayers have to say they are at least intrigued by what Ridley Scott or Scorsese can do with it and what Cameron will do next.

Do you really think that forcing our selves to 3D headaches will help 3d films evolve?

Highly doubt it mate..
in order for something to get better it needs to be changed. (in some way)

1st rule of the market is : if it makes money ..don’t change it.

So IN contrary, I (kyri the filmjunk listerner) say that to reject this particular kind of 3d is more likely to induce change and thus make it better.

Skeptics will always be around to voice their opinion no matter their level of expertise.
“We never landed on the moon.”
“Holidays are really for card companies.”
“Daniel Tosh is NOT gay!”

For more than 50 years, 3D technology has enhanced the willing suspension of belief for millions of people. Only now will we be able to realize 3D’s true potential. Make no mistake, the feelers are out. Mainstream media have launched a storm of multidimensional content in the last few years. When you buy a ticket for a 3D movie you are investing in the future of this technology. 3D WILL get better. It WILL evolve. Perhaps it will lead us to something new entirely.

I am worried we won’t give directors the chance to develop the technology into art.
Will 3D achieve its potential before the next big thing takes over?

I am sensing more than a little viewer fatigue with 3D and, so far, the relatively tepid box office for Hugo seems to be reflecting this. When given a choice (which we were not for Hugo) I will opt for the 2D presentation.

Normally I’d agree with you, but when an accomplished director is utilizing it, it does have potential. But for the most part it’s a cashgrab.

Cape Fear in 3d might be worth a watch.
