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?

I'm not sure if it's dead, but I wish it would die. I refuse to see any movies in "3D." *NM*

The good news is that 3D seems to be bombing in a lot of theatres.

I hate it. It gives me headaches and makes my eyes water. And adds nothing to the films.

Not only does it add nothing, in many cases it detracts.

Those guys who put spinning hubcaps on their car are going to come after you for that.

I like 3D just fine. Not in all movies, but in some it really adds an extra dimension (pun intended)

No, it's not dead. It's not been created yet. Not real 3D, anyway. *NM*

The day they come out with Citizen Kane in 3D is the day I start firebombing theatres. *NM*

I saw Immortals in 3D and I didn't wear the glasses most of the time.

Saw Tintin in 3D and didn't notice any "3D effects". Reinforces my opinion they're a waste of $. *NM*

Then there's either something wrong with you, or you walked into the wrong theater.

Yeah. And it should look different even without the glasses. All double-image-ish and stuff.
