I'd love to see some surveys. I do not go to any 3D viewings and go to the 2D ones instead (of which there are less), but they always seem completely packed full. So presumably I'm not alone in hating the most recent 3D movie craze.

Also, watch Avatar in 3D. It made me a believer.
Sorry, but I'll never 'get' the 3D hype. I didn't get it in the 80s when it was massive either.
The glasses are so distracting, uncomfortable. The image is dim. The colors washed out. The 3D effects are so obvious and off-putting it's like watching a movie and being jabbed in the eye with sticks every so often.
Movies already contain all of the visual clues our brain need to understand the 3D within them. Stereoscopy is just an unnecessary addition.
Is Avatar a good enough story to stand up on its own without the special effects?
