As for Blu-Ray - no doubt things are getting better, but DVD is still outselling it in the UK. I guess Blu-Ray is in its early stages though, and if/when 3D goes big Blu-Ray will pick up a lot.

Digital Download is not viable for a lot of the UK at the minute  - and people just like physical media more.

People keep saying this....  How many 3d movies are worth watching,let alone buying to keep forever?    Name me your top 10, hell try a top 5.

we are talking about the future where more and more movie are going 3D.WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT NOW



I am going to see a movie tonight.... inception.  It isnt 3d.. but I expect it to be the best movie I have seen in the last 12 months.



And....?


2d to 3d isnt like b&w to colour... its mainly a money making exercise for the studios.    It adds nothing to the vast majority of movies, except maybe massive actions movies and animated movies.

3d would get in the way of an awful lot of movies.  Warner are pushing 3d more than anyone and if they do then they will lose some very talented directors like chrostopher nolan for example... he doesnt like the idea of 3d film making at all...


It took a long time to go from black and white to colour, and the change will probably be quite similar.

- Not all studios adopted colour straight away,

- Colour came to cinemas first - small numbers of movies to start with, the more as technology became cheaper and more available.

- It didn't take on in the home for a while - people couldn't afford colour TVs to start with, then it went mainstream, more TV programs were made in colour (remember those Captain Scarlet and Tunrderbirds programs?) and TVs came more available and cheaper.

There will be similarities in the adoption of 3D, there's no reason at this time to suggest 3D won't catch on mainstream at this time.
