Why is every movie trying to come out in 3D?

It is a trend...that's why most movies come to 3D version. However i really don't like to watch 3D movies regularly, i hate to wear glasses...while i am short sighted...

I have not had the pleasure, or displeasure of seeing any movie in 3D in a very long time. I think that I would enjoy to see some movies in 3D but otherwise I think it would just be over done for most. There is a place and time for this. I hope that movies are well made rather than trying to just make money. Whether or not the movie is good then I wouldn't mind seeing it in 3D in a theater.

I really don't like 3D and for the few times I have seen a film in 3D I usually feel like it does nothing to enhance the experience. Typically though, I can easily find the same movies in 2D playing at the same theaters. As for why, well it's a gimmick. It sells more expensive tickets, and you can't pirate the 3D experience so it's a bit of a discouraging tool to use against film pirates. Sometimes a director just wants to push the boundaries of what effects can do, like James Cameron and Avatar, and the upcoming Peter Jackson's the Hobbit, they want to create the best possible 3D experience just for the sake of making their stories pop. I'm not into it, but it does seem to be the direction that entertainment wants to take.

They choose 3d to justify charging more money for the movie. I hate 3d and I think it offers nothing to enhance the movie for me.

Think about it. Back then, we didn't have the technology to make 3D movies. (well, red-cyan 3D doesn't count as natural 3D.) There are even 3D TVs, the Nintendo 3DS, 3D DVDs, almost everything that has to do with display is in 3D. Technology has advanced so much over the past years...and I'm more of a 3D type of person. 2D is like Paper. 3D is realistic! xD

I agree with you. They are trying way to hard with these movies in 3D. It's all about money to me.

Movies on 3D are better to watch. But you're right, the glasses are quite irritating. I think the movie people should find a way to make things easier and comfortable for 3Dmovie goers.

this is mostly the demand as of now aside from the cost that the production team can save. the experience is also unique and that some just find it adorable and cute if it's in 3D. What is the difference between a two dimensional movie and a three dimensional one? With a 2D movie, it would seem as if you are only watching through a glass, viewing a world through a transparent window. However, with 3D, you would feel as if something is pulling you towards the scene, making you a part of it and not just a viewer. These movies make use of our depth perception to give us the maximum viewing pleasure. Depending on the depth, we may view something as flat and planar, or it can also look full and with volume. it's also a very interesting experience for the whole family.

This is a good topic. And I also don't understand why there are more 3D movies today. In fact I am afraid that the 3D movies will be a little harmful for our eyesight. Some people even think that they have a headache after watching the 3D movies. I am nearsighted and I wear glasses when I watch movies. So I have wear a pair of 3D glasses when I watch this kind of movie. Namely I have to wear two pairs of glasses and this is very inconvenient. As to my son, he is little and he finds it difficult to wear 3D glasses, too. However, the cinema may want to promote the 3D movies since the tickets are much more expensive. I prefer there are also normal versions of movies for us to choose. Today some movies, especially the cartoon movies only have 3D versions. I love China

i have not watched any 3D movie yet. i will try to watch to experience it so i can have an idea if i will enjoy it or not.

Well in my price ,the cinema ticket are expensive and even more expensive with the 3D movies. Usually they show normal and 3D movies together.The cinemas in my place are big and consists of many rooms or halls ,so they can accomodate both. I guess making movies 3D are way to earn more money. Redering the movie into 3D are more of CGI and software.The filiming companies just do some extra shots for 3D while the rest will be converted by the multimedia softwares.

I like the effect of 3D.But I hate them completely and prefer to watch in 2D for the simple reason being it hurts my head when I watch a film in 3D.I wear glasses and I use contact lenses when going to 3D film and find the glasses to be comfortable,but in some scenes,my eyes are not adapting to changing frames of the film and thus leading my heads to hurt.If I can clear that out,I would love 3D films as some effects make you feel that you are actually inside the film.

I like the 3d movies a lot. I think they seem more real than the other ones, and the effects really make you feel as if you were in the middle of the action. It is more enjoyable than a 2d movie.

The only movie that I actually enjoyed in 3D was Avatar. It was the first movie that I had ever seen in 3D and I think it actually complimented the visual effects that were throughout the movie. Though I must admit, the 3D effect did give me a headache...and just like you I have to wear my 3D glasses over my regular glasses...but 3D honestly doesn't work for every new movie that comes out. I think movie productions should at least give the option of whether you would like to see it in 2D or 3D. Plus the 3D only increases the price of the movie ticket which sucks if you see so many of them in a certain time period.

I seems to me likea lot of movies make most of their money by how many soecial effects they have. the bigger the effects, the bigger the audience and the bigger the profits are. With all of thesr movies competing for the biggest and best in their special effects, they have come to 3d to outdo each other. Now the thrills of these special effects will be up close and personal.

i think the problem is not on the movie makers, but in the theaters. your favorite movie house probably does not air the 2D version or delays the date of showing, probably to prioritize the 3D version. when you watch a trailer, most of them say "also available in 3D", meaning, 3D is not their main format, but a feature for 3D lovers. actually, producing a 3D format is not really like "trying way too much", they just want to give the other movie goers, the much extreme-type than the 2D-lovers, what they want, of course, with an added cost on their tickets. besides, it is not that hard to contact and inquire to your local theater personnel about 2D format availability. it is either you are bitter about the 3D format films, or you are just lazy to find where the 2D cinema is :P just kidding.

i havnt seen a film in 3D yet.but for me, its not good to wear 3D glasses on my own glasses. i think the theater should have a selection system ,movies become more exicting through 3D and others should in 2D.
