Uh, excuse me? No one on here said that 3D is a gimmick because it costs more than a 2D movie. Reread peoples' posts and you'll see that no one said anything of the sort.
I was not talking about all the members on this site, but mostly public opinion period. I guess I kinda went off on a rant.
We said that it's a gimmick because it doesn't help to improve a movie in anyway.
It doesn't improve the movie, it can help immerse you into it. Again, that depends on how it's used. It could look natural or completely ridiculous.
EDIT: And yeah, I do think it's stupid to pay to see a 3D movie. You're throwing away 5-7 extra dollars on one of these films when you can see the same thing in 2D for a much cheaper price.
Depends on the film. Imagine a documentary in 3d compared a pixar 3d film.
I'm not saying all films would look good in 3d, I'm just saying it can fit for some. I originally saw avatar in average cheap theater and I was happy with it (although I would notice how bad it was later) but I wouldn't mind seeing it again in 3d. I guess I just like 3d more then others
Absolutely no offense intended to you man, I'm sorry if you felt that way
