How 3D is killing Hollywood |
Using 3-D in movies is used to enhance the viewing experience for people. I am not against movies that uses the 3-D aspect. However, not every movie needs to be in 3-D. This is the new trend in the movie industry and Hollywood is exploiting it. Is it really necessary to have every new film as well as re-releases of films to be in 3-D? Take for example, the Star Wars trilogy. Why would Lucas do this? To follow what everyone is doing and making money off of gullible people. Why would people and especially the dedicated fans pay $13.50 to see these movies again?
The thing that gets me the most and I know that I am not alone is that most of the time, theaters have both options at different showtimes. What if you could not make it in time to view the regular version of the film? Since you are already there at the theater, you might as well go purchase a ticket to the 3-D version of the film.
I viewed two movies in 3-D and that included Toy Story 3 and the Avengers. I saw the Avengers in 3-D because of what I mentioned above. I viewed Toy Story 3 in 3-D because it was the first movie that I saw in 3-D. I enjoyed the 3-D and it was mostly due to Pixar implementing 3-D the correct way. The Avengers in 3-D was a totally different story. Half way through the movie, I took my glasses off because certain scenes did not look good in 3-D. The other reason I took my glasses off was because the 3-D was starting to hurt my eyes. The price, the poorly use of 3-D and the further damage to the human eyes are reasons why 3-D is killing the movie industry and those who enjoy attending the movie theater.
3-D can work well for some movies but most of the time, the producers of the film just use this new trend to grab more money from your wallet.

Joe said it best, "3D movies= Muddy Vision Syndrome!"
