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.


The bold is happening.

And you forgot that its e filmakers who love 3D, which is the real reason so many movies are being done in 3D.

Not that many movies are being done in 3D for the premium prices which are going away later this year or during next year. (they are going to increase the cost of 2D movies, and decrease the cost of 3D movies, and the ticket prices will literally be the same, but I'm guessing IMAX will still screw people LOL)

 

The people who run studios are clearly fanboys of 3D (I'll even name some: Warner Bros. & Paramount & 20th Century Fox & Disney & Dreamworks), and it's these same people who wanted to reboot Superman in movies, and had the power to do so, so they did.

A minimum of most directors are currently big giant fanboys of 3D (for example: George Lucas & Steven Speilberg & Martin Scorsese & the director of Watchmen & Man of Steel & so way toooo many many more).

 

You should read what George Lucas said about 3D, instead of going out of your way to find one of the few directors that opposes 3D. (that was a pretty bias move you did, to find one of the few directors who says anything bad about 3D)
