Would you prefer to watch 3d or a regular movie?

It would depend on the movie. For the movie Avatar, it was highly anticipated since it was James Cameron's first directing project since Titanic. The movie was created using breakthrough technology and it is more enjoyable to watch in on 3D However, for some movies, it might not be that worth it to watch in 3D. This is especially since not all scenes are really that dynamic with all the special effects that would make the additional few bucks for a 3D movie worth it.

i only watch 3d if everybody recommends it i have watched some 3d movies that only has a couple scenes on 3d which is a bad thing.

I watch a tremendous amount of movies and yes Avatar was by far the best made in a while. I enjoy a variety of movies and I think only some would be suitable for 3D. I have never really been a fan of 3D movies, but if that's your thing then go for it. I have found that the high definition on a large flat screen is more than good enough for me.

I am accustomed to watch regular movies, but I like new style 3D movies. In nowadays they are not more, but If we want to watch any we can do It. I think in future people will watch only 3D movies. I have special 3D glasses and I can watch all 3D movies in my home and I do not need go to cinema anymore. Which type of movies you prefer? Take care, Have a nice day!

I've never watched a 3D movie before. That's because I have to wear glasses for distance. Friends who have watched said that it felt real cool as if you were there. I've yet to experience it myself.

i prefer to watch movies...using my laptop. so, 'regular'. actually, i haven't tried 3d yet. haha. and i don't usually go to a cinema to watch movies; i'm rather unwilling to pay. i enjoy watching movies through my laptop; it's like a private cinema. and with my faithful headphones, no one can disturb me with disgusted comments or startle me by shrieking.

omg regular movies. My family went to see the new Shrek 3d for 1 it cost alot more then the normal movie. 2 you eyes start to hurt after awhile from the glasses. 3 If you take the glasses off then your eyes will hurt even more trying to look at the screen. 4 you walk out with marks on your face from the glasses. I'm sure its not good for your eyes.

For me I prefer to watch regular 2D movies, or should I say I prefer to at the moment. The reason being is that if I watch a movie the most important thing for me should be the storyline, followed by the acting, then the camera work and other embellishments such as soundtrack and 3D. The trouble is that the majority of the current 3D movies use it as a gimmick which doesn’t really add anything to the overall telling of the story and often can end up as a distraction. Once the novelty factor of 3D has worn off and studios/directors have had there 5 minutes of fun and started to look at using 3D as an embellishment to tell the story rather than a gimmick to put bums on seats then my opinion maybe changed. Now you mention Avatar. Well I have to say the 3D worked as a marvellous embellishment although I personally didn’t think much to the actual storyline. And having watched both 2D and 3D versions the 3D version is superior.

I can't stand 3D at all. I can never keep the image in focus and I always come out of the theater with a headache. I don't think that 3D technology is all that great. Maybe in ten years it'll be phenomenal but right now it's just an expensive headache to me. I prefer to watch movies in 2D. It's cheaper, and I like movies for the stories anyway. I don't watch for stunning effects, though they help. The way I see it, a good story can save a movie with bad effects, but good effects can't save a movie with a bad story.

who would not like to watch 3d movie... 3d effects are good and it is better than watching a normal movie... 3d movies can also have good storyline.. in fact with new technology we can convert any normal movie to 3d movie and enjoy the effects along with the story...

Still I have not seen any movie in 3D, but if what is and since one sees, because I have been in malingerers, the experience is fantastic, and I believe that attractive mas must be great to see movies in the cinema in 3D of the style Avatar.

Of course I would prefer a 3D movie to a regular movie any day. This is the reason why we go to theaters. To make us feel that we are really in the scenes. Making movies in 3D makes a big step forward towards this goal. So, yes, I would prefer 3d over a regular movie.

I had seen Avatar movie with 3D effects. I like so much that movie. Also I seemed Clash of Titans with 3D effects, it was also good one.

I would prefer to watch an action, sci-fi or scary movie in 3D to enhance the effects. Of course the storyline has to be good enough to convince me to go to a movie theater in the first place. A movie that flops in the box office isn't going to make much difference watching in 2D or 3D. On the other hand, I would prefer watching a comedy or drama movie as a regular movie since the 3D effects are most likely to cause a distraction.

I have yet to see Avatar, but I hear the general opinion of critics is that while the animation is S.O.T.A.,* the story line is pretty simplistic. That said, I love animation, & if I could afford a ticket, I'd watch. Ultimately I enjoy regular 2-D films just as much as animated, 3-D, whatever. But bottom line, I enjoy ANY film more when the writing, acting, editing, sound--all the stuff that really makes it work--is just plain good. * State Of The Art Maggiepie “Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.” ~ Pope John Paul II

After long time I watched 3D film avatar a few months back. But while watching itself I got irritation in eyes and I suffered headache for 2 days. But I enjoyed the film very much.

If you're speaking about an average movie with 3D effects or a good movie without 3D effects I would chose the good movie, but if both movies are good than I would prefer the 3D one.Avatar was a 3D movies but not so much, more good was the story, better 3D effects you can find on Final Destination.

I love to watch a 3D movie better than a regular or a 2D movie..

I prefer 2d, i just dont like the 3d effect in most films i think it ruins it and i would rather focus on the film than the special effects.

Depends, some movies are better in 2D some in 3D. But for the movies with visual efects i prefer 3D.
