3-D is a waste of time.

If its anything like the 4D rides at Universal Studios Ill pass. The novelty of having water sprayed in your face or puffs of air blown on your legs to startle you gets old FAST. But for a 3 Hour movie????

Personally, I like 2D better than 3D. If a 3D movie has lame “crap flying towards your face” special effects, then it’s too tacky, but if the 3D is too subtle, then once you get entranced by the movie, you forget it’s there so the 3D’s pointless. However, I still see 3D movies sometimes, and I don’t hate it- I just like the traditional format better.

They already have these in the U.S. and Canada- it’s called D-Box. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-BOX_Technologie s I guess this would work with the action sequences, but the seat probably doesn’t move in the “talky” parts of the movie, so when your chair starts to jostle you, the effect would again make you aware that you’re watching a movie, and it diminishes from the experience.

But I see how some people like it. I guess I’m just one of those people who has to get completely engrossed in the movie.

I think it was expensive enough with 3D. But yes, it was worth the money, but 4D? Avatar’s runtime is like three hours, so watching a 3-hours-long movie in 4D will just be too exhausting in my opinion.

I only go see movies in 3d anymore, otherwise I might as well watch the movie at home. If they had movies like avatar in 4d I would definitely go see it. Low key movies like As Good As it Gets do not interest me in 3d or 4d. Just 2d for a romantic comedy for me.

I enjoy the 3-D movies if they are done with digital 3-D and not just the pop out effect like older movies or low budget films. However I do agree that it is going a little crazy with everything in 3-D now. If the movie was made for 3-D fine, but slapping it on after I don’t think will work as well.(Like Clash of the Titans) As for as the “4-D”(even though every movie is 4-D since the 4th dimension is time) goes I’ve been on some roller coasters like this and they were really fun and I can see this working in some cases, but not all. This would be a good opportunity for a movie in a first person mode. Until the time when they are available here in the U.S I will just wait and think of what will be next.
