3-D: Who Cares except Studios That Want To Jack Up Prices?
If you think back over all the years, and all the gimmick 3-D events you have ever seen, can you honestly say that you felt that much more entertained because of it even once? I know I can’t. Would I pay more for it? No, I would probably be less likely to even watch it if it were in 3-D. I’d rather look for an insurance quote.
There are those that are coming where you don’t need the 3-D glasses anymore. So? 3-D is a giant gimmick. It doesn’t really add much to anything.
The more this has been in the news that studios are adding 3-d, or converting many 2-D films I have heard more and more people say that 3-D actually makes them nauseous. Literally. I had never thought about this before, but it makes sense. You all know a guy that can’t watch Cloverfield for a shaky camera. Probably the same guy has a problem with 3-D. The media isn’t going to talk about it a lot because this is the new “Big thing”, but I bet there are a lot of people out there that can’t handle it.
I have seen a 3-D television from Samsung being advertised almost every commercial break I see the past week. The family is sitting there with glasses on. Really? Who thinks this has any chance of staying power?
People will say “OMG you are afraid of change!!1!!SHIFT1″. People will be wrong. I spend almost every dime I have on technological toys. iPhones, Blu-Ray players, Playstation 3s and XBox 360s. It has nothing to do with this. 3-D is becoming an epidemic, and it doesn’t enhance anything as far as I’m concerned. They tried this in the 80s and 90s. It hasn’t even advanced that far since then from a viewer’s point of view. There are just more people willing to jump on the bandwagon that make media now.
