I will pay more money for a non-3D movie when watching it in theaters

I hate the 3D on my 3DS XL. The ghosting is just really horrible. Sometimes when I play Donkey Kong, I move the system just a little bit and can't see anything. Then I die. That's why I always play with 3D off. It's nice when you see it for the first time, but it gets old with time. 

I also happen to have a 3D TV, but I barely use that feature anymore. I played Killzone 3 in 3D but it just doesn't add anything. Instead, it tires my eyes. 

I think there is a pretty good reason why most TV manufacturers do not advertise 3D anymore (at least where I live). Sure modern TVs are all capable of doing 3D and so the sales of 3D TVs do increase on paper. But nobody really wants it all that much. 

But don't get me wrong, I don't want 3D to disappear. If you have fun with it, that's fine by me. I just want 2D to stay, that's all. 

I heard of people always falling asleep for the ones that can't handle 3D.

Do you ever go into a deep sleep when viewing 3D?

Anyways all 3D electronics can view 3D in 2D like 3D TV & 3DS & so fort. I don't see a reason for 3D to go away, since everyone can still watch it in 2D. I just think some of these other users are extremely 2D bias. If you can watch all 3D things in 2D (which you can), then there is no reason to make threads like this nor wish for 3D to go away, and this thread just seems really fanboyish when you consider reality.

Falling asleep? What? Close your eyes or look away maybe to get rid of that umcofortable feeling caused by the mismatch in focus and convergence. A headache possibly but falling asleep, never heard of that.

I do see a reason for 3D to tone down a bit as it is limitting film and editting techniques. It restricts the artistic expression. It would not work with or ruin most of my favorite movies.

I'm not sure what you mean with this:
*looks at Pacific Rim 3D trailer in theaters and disagrees with statement*

For me it affirms everything about it being a gimmick. It reminds me of the Star tours attraction in Disneyland, that trailer belongs in a simulator ride. Anyway it's impossible to judge a movie from a trailer, just a bunch of special effects thrown together.
I really like Pan's Labyrinth from Guillermo del Torro, and I don't see how 3D can be anything but a distraction while watching that. Plus it wouldn't have looked that way if it had been made for 3D. Pacific rim I can't get excited for at all.

I have come across people who say within 10 minutes of watching 3D movies like Avatar, they will get headaches & nausea and then fall into a deep sleep.

And they say they don't know how they slept thru the entire movie for some of these 3D movies, because some if them where soo loud like avatar, at least when they fell asleep it was soo loud.

Well, that's what a bunch of people who also hate 3D movies say.

Pacific Rim 3D in the pure live-action scenes is what I was referring to, but the pure CGI scenes have equal 3D greatness (there are also mix scenes, which are also equal in 3D greatness). Despite such an extreme gap created by 3D depth, you still see all of the backgrounds & foregrounds fully focus all at once (like a million 3D movies & games before it, i.e. The Great Gatsby & Kid Icarus: Uprising & etc. etc.) and no amount of imagination can do any good in comparison no matter how much propaganda some people will try to spread about all 3D movies, when only a few of them are actually bad (referring to 3D movies from 2011 or 2012 and beyond).

When it comes to gimmicky, well audio & color with thru the same exact phase when they where trying to be establish as the norm. (see Batman series from 1960's starring Adam West, and also see any movies from the first several years of Audio Hollywood movies)

We have went from everyone speaking super fast in movies & Tv, to speaking like normal people. (audio was equally gimmicky as 3D)

We have went from color movies & shows being riducoulus in appearance (more gimmicky then 3D) to being like real life in later years movies & shows. (color was even more of a gimmick in its use when it was new for everything, then 3D has been)

3D is just going thru the same phase that both Color & Audio did. (color use to limit films in good filmmaking even more then 3D has)

 

I guess I'm the only person here who ever took Film Introduction in College (we only saw 2D movies, and only learned about 2D films anything).

 

@OdinHades

You are clearly playing your 3DS outdoors, wi direct enough sun exposure during gaming with the 3D ON.....just move a little to the left OR move a little to the right OR move your 3DS upwards OR go under a shade OR move to cast your own shadow over the 3D screen OR lower the depth slider to 50% to 40% volume of 3D (this last solution which i bolded, is the easiest to do, and you don't have to move at all by using the lower volume of 3D solution).

I mostly play my 3DS indoors, so NO ghost effects.

 

Problem solved.
