The 3-D Epidemic

Please God! Someone stop Hollywood… I am personally not a fan of 3-D Films, but I never complained about them either… Until now!
This new “Hey I know what will make the movie better… 3-D!!!” epidemic is driving me bat crazy! I didn’t care when it was held back for the occasional kids flick; but now it’s in everything. Even respected films are releasing in 3-D.

First of all, I don’t know about you, but the glasses are uncomfortable and after just a short while give me a pounding head ache that makes me want to curl up, listen to Norah Jones….and not continue the movie! ……Yes I listen to Norah Jones… Lay off.
Daniel Symmes, a 3-D historian and Hollywood veteran says this -
“To me, 3-D has always been the circus coming to town. Does the circus stay around? No. If it does…attendance drops off, the novelty is gone, and the circus goes away.”
I really hope he is right; because the new systems (which works off polarization not color) are still bad in my opinion. The image comes apart and the over-all luminance of the screen drops… which for me, dulls the color.
I guess we’ll see what happens when “AVATAR” comes out. It promises to be the change of 3-D and or film in general as we know it. Who knows….it may just change my mind!
But what do you think?
