Forums - Gaming - Ebert said 3D is d0med

amp316 on 24 January 2011

I'm going to have to agree with Ebert on this one.

3D is being severely overutilized like it was in the 50's.  I understand why.  It's because the technology has improved a lot recently and people want to see it, but honestly I would rather see about 95% of all of the movies that are show in 3D the "normal" way.  It can be great visually in a special effects heavy movie like Avatar, but I really don't want to put on the glasses to watch Shrek. 

If 3D porn starts being shown in theaters, I'll check that out though.

I guess when more and more people experience 3D for prolonged periods of time and not just a 3 hour span of Avatar or some other movie, we will see the true effects of 3D.


that assumes 3D doesn't just fade away -- from what I've seen consumer interest in 3D is fading fast and if people are buying no one will continue to sell.

I'm a huge fan of 3D but i just can't justify buying the tech 'cause i think it's going to lose support quite soon.

I can see movies like Tangled, which was an amazing movie, will boost sales of 3D equipment. Remember when Blu-ray started off and sold basically in spurts at first when a big movie came out, same thing here. And movies are awesome at the theater in 3D. 

I believe that as the tech improves, loses the glasses, and lowers in cost it will gain more market.

And also, remember Ebert said something around the lines that games fail at telling stories or something like that, look through the news on this site, so really I've lost my respect for him along time ago since I think he is technology inept.
