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 saw a couple of the classic 50s 3d flicks in the theatre when I was a teenager in the 80s.

It was fun.

Didn't make me want to see any more.

I am not a huge fan of the theater experience but you can watch 3d movies in Skybox on the Meta Quest 2, etc. Which I think is kinda good, if you have a good way of obtaining them 😅

I never cared for them. The technology and techniques have improved vastly over the years but given the choice I'm fine with the flat experience. Oddly enough I only play VR games anymore.

I liked them. I also really enjoyed playing 3D games on the 3DS, especially the 3D-ified 16bit games.

They usually make me think of this

Wasn't 3d technology pretty much abandoned around 2017. It never really took off.

That is certainly what they keep telling me.

Captain EO was the shizz

I used to have nightmares about that borg queen when I was a kid, but didn't remember where they came from until the anniversary event at Epcot when they brought it back. That was a surreal experience seeing my nightmares in 3d again.

I like 3d as a fun novelty I never had headaches at al l from it. I have a 3d fractal artbook that's fun to look at when I'm high as fuck. There is also 3d tapestry wall art

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I don't like it, and I don't think it adds anything to the experience aside from headaches and eye strain.

[–] joeyv120@ttrpg.network 0 points 1 year ago

I hate 3d movies. They don't add to the story or the experience. Moreover, I find it distracting.

[–] bestusername@aussie.zone -1 points 1 year ago

Nope, hate them, pure gimmick.
