Buy a set of 2D glasses.

Oh wow. Never knew such a thing existed. Pretty cool.


See, now we can all enjoy 3D movies.... LOL

Except you still get all the downsides, less color saturation and contrast, restrictions in film style, mostly in composition and editting of the content.

I'm not opposed to a good 3D CGI blockbuster fest, but I don't see it as an evolution of movies, only another style. Just like b&w, hand-drawn/computer/stop motion animation, documentary, hand-held, film noir, expirimental, stylized, hyper realism, and whatever I forgot. 3D is suited to mix with some styles, not most.

The price hike for 3D tickets is currently forcing directors to opt for 3D with theaters heavily promoting the 3D version. They either don't show the 2D version or have very limited 2D viewings. This current trend is restricting the richness of film making.
Movies like Cloverfield, District 9, Natural born killers, Moonrise Kingdom, City of god to name a few are all incompatible with stereoscopic 3D in their intended form.

Get rid of the premium price, let the content do the speaking again instead of theaters pushing 3D.
