Of course it's not dead. Aemon Send a noteboard - 29/12/2011 08:38:10 AM
Most of Hollywood's new movies are being shot and released in 3D. Virtually every HDTV sold on the market (even the low-end ones) are 3D capable. 3D is more alive than it's ever been.

Personally, like most others in this thread, I don't care for 3D. However, I don't want to see it die, either, I just want to see it improve. The guy in the article admitted that several of 3D's biggest issues are theoretically solvable. If those get fixed and we see another unexpected innovation or two, 3D could turn out to be a very enjoyable, if still imperfect, way to watch video content. It also seems to me that if 3D crashes and burns miserably, it will make manufacturers wary of investing in newer, better ways of doing 3D.

Anyway, I'm not interested in watching 3D content in its current form, but I still think there's a future for the technique.

Has the community here discussed the failures of the latest iteration of 3D? - 21/12/2011 12:16:38 AM 1353 Views
I'm not sure if it's dead, but I wish it would die. I refuse to see any movies in "3D." *NM* - 21/12/2011 12:42:31 AM 307 Views
As do I. *NM* - 23/12/2011 02:15:52 AM 304 Views
Agreed. - 24/12/2011 11:22:25 PM 692 Views
I hate it. It gives me headaches and makes my eyes water. And adds nothing to the films. - 21/12/2011 11:59:34 AM 839 Views
I agree with everything you've said. *NM* - 23/12/2011 02:13:57 AM 311 Views

I like 3D just fine. Not in all movies, but in some it really adds an extra dimension (pun intended) - 21/12/2011 12:34:39 PM 599 Views

I have only seen one movie in 3D. - 21/12/2011 07:29:02 PM 783 Views
If it is dead, let it stay dead. - 21/12/2011 09:03:38 PM 658 Views
Always been pretty disappointed with 3-D effects - 28/12/2011 04:30:56 AM 797 Views
Saw Tintin in 3D and didn't notice any "3D effects". Reinforces my opinion they're a waste of $. *NM* - 28/12/2011 05:09:32 PM 305 Views
Then there's either something wrong with you, or you walked into the wrong theater. - 29/12/2011 08:42:01 AM 835 Views
I know right? - 29/12/2011 12:25:59 PM 739 Views

The road to holodecks is paved with bad 3D movies. *NM* - 03/01/2012 09:17:13 PM 281 Views
