Why come no one is seeing the 2D screenings of today's 3D Movies? (i.e. Gravity & 47 Ronin)

I can't stand 3D so if there's the option of 2D I'll always take it. I actually deliberately didn't go see Thor 1 because my local cinema didn't show the 2D version.

I'm still hoping 3D is a passing fad. But I also know that there are a lot of people who think this modern 3D is the best thing to happen to movies since sound.

Can you at least watch "The Great Gatsby in 3D?

Thats all I ask of people who hate 3D. Then you can go hate away.

 

EDIT:

By the best thing since sound, do you mean Surround Sound (3D Sound), LOL.

Far too late for that, it came and went from theatres here before I could blink, so I watched it on Blu-ray. Ain't no way I'm gonna go find a 3D TV anywhere to watch it in 3D on a TV. I've seen movies in 3D that people say have amazing 3D and it does nothing for me.

Most of the time I don't notice the 3D effects because I'm actually paying atention to what's actually going on, not oggling at the visuals. And then when something 3Dish happens it jars me and takes me out of my immersion, so the 3D actually reduces my immersion into a movie, which is not good. I wanted to like 3D, but I don't.

And they bloody charge extra for the 3D sessions, as if they don't charge enough for movies already! I remember back in the day when a movie used to cost 50c, 3200% inflation since when I was a kid. Back in my parents' day movies used to cost 10c, so between their generation and mine it was only a 500% inflation.
