Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

I love it! I searched long and hard to get a nice 4K 3D TV from 2015 a couple years ago and I have no regrets. I love watching movies on Blu-ray 3D. But yes, I recognize that I am very in the minority here. 🤣

Do they still release current 3d films anywhere? Would love to see the lijes of spidercerse in 3d again

They're rare, but 3D releases still come out on occasion! Sometimes you have to buy them from the UK or Japan, but thanks to the internet, that's not difficult to do. Into the Spider-Verse is amazing in 3D. :)

Oh. I'm from the uk but i still don't notice them around when shopping for blurays. Might have to think about picking up a 3d tv more now

Oh, in the U.S., no brick and mortar stores are carrying them anymore. You'll have to buy them online. Amazon is a great place for them!
