What winds me up is that directors with actual talent have all jumped on the bandwagon, and it makes me worry both for their films and any future sequels (Alien, Tintin etc). Actually, it also makes me worry about their overall vision sometimes

TBH very few films do well in 3D. I watched Bayform3rs and the 3D just really didn't add much. Having said that, it was the first film not to give me headaches and that may be because the entire thing wasn't in 3D. Films like Green Hornet and Toy Story 3 were horrendous. Tron Legacy was fine.

I'm going to refine my judgement of 3D as a pointless trinket in the tool chest of film making when The Hobbit comes out. Might be something of a watershed moment.

It's hardly new though, is it. Until we have holographic tv/movies I remain in the interesting novelty camp.

3D was tried in the sixties and it did not succeed then. Maybe Hollywood thought that the technology had moved on enough to work? Longer term I think that it will be another twenty years before there is another attempt to resurrect the idea. Maybe they need to try this?
