I love 3d films and I don't mind the glasses either. Most people complain about the glasses however so I'm waiting for the development of the 3d movie that does not require the glasses.
ReplyDeleteI love 3d movies and don't even mind the glasses. Most people don't seem to like the glasses however. I'm waiting for "glassless" 3d movies.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy 3d movies as well, they are fun and interesting. I love when the characters and background things pop out at you. Hopefully throughout time they will make the glasses a little more practical and comfortable. They are so annoying because they always fall off of my head!
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned previously, I also think that 3D movies will eventually evolve into something that we don’t need glasses anymore. Plus with new technology coming out like the Imax theatre to enhance the movie experience, this could be existent.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how technology will improve the art of movie watching. This will be like going to Disney World.
ReplyDeleteI love 3-D glasses. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D two years ago. It was fun but not as cool as I expected. It seems like the trend is for children’s movies to be in 3-D but I wish more action movies would go that route. Explosions are cool. Explosion with debris flying at you is cooler. The only downside is 3-D movies are a couple dollars more expensive. Movie theaters need a gimmick to keep us to keep coming in instead on watching movies at home.
ReplyDeleteI am actually not a fan of 3D movies- I found out in Universal that I get motion sickness from constantly trying to focus my eyes! So I would be very upset if every movie was in 3D!
