--- Quote from: Inlander on 02 Jul 2010, 23:40 ---What will kill 3D is when audiences figure out that they're paying more money for a lesser cinematic experience. The glasses are uncomfortable, the images on screen are darkened and muddied by wearing the glasses and if you get sick of it and try to watch the movie without the 3D glasses you just get a slightly fuzzy image with the colours separated at the edges, and the 3D effects while eye-catching at times are not so much 3D as a slightly disoncerting layering of 2D images akin to a pop-up book. Directors, meanwhile, at least those who are passionate about their films, will I suspect start to shy away from 3D because, apart from all the points I just mentioned, watching a film in 3D actually distracts and distances the viewer from the movie itself, which no director wants.

Not to mention the glasses are disease-ridden.

Well, that's no surprise really, when it comes into contact with multiple people every day. When I went to see Up! I got an alcohol wipe to clean the glasses with, so they do take it into consideration.

KvP:
Turns out people are stupid!

Ikrik:
That is really, really surprising. When a movie is at 8% and has horrible word of mouth don't people listen anymore?  I was kind of hoping this movie was going to pull a Jonah Hex and end up at like number 5 or 6.  I'm interested now to see how quickly it'll drop next week. 

Somehow I think they might just end up making those other two films.  Yay for two more Last Airbender movies?

The cinemas here give you individually wrapped 3D glasses. In fact if you show up having kept the last pair you were given they give you a discount on the tickets. Also the 3D glasses at the IMAX here are given to you out of a massive portable dishwasher/steam cleaner thing. They're still slightly warm when you are given them!
