2D vs 3D?

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

Any nominations for movies where it does work well? I'm putting forward Avatar. Any others?

Many animated features Polar Express and only at the Imax. 3D works great in that environment. Also A Christmas Carol. However, I have seen these films in 2D also. And I prefer 2D because I get a more epic scale in its visual scope.

So the question is even where 3D works very well, is it a better experience than its 2D counterpart? In this case, it really is a matter of preference.

3D tends to make me more sleepy. It doesn't enhance the experience over 2D.

was reading MrG's post on his invention. so i was wondering what you would see if you put 3d glasses on over 3d-to-2d glasses.

edit - yeah bloody nothing, i expect.

much prefer 2D films, toom many distractions in 3d. think it is just another fad. Will die away again

I was reading this thread and I don't think i've ever pa*d to see a 3D movie and in fact i think i've only actually seen Despicable me, Narnia 3 and a few kids movies in 3D. 3D was still pretty useless in it though.

It's a shame how people are being "conned" into p*ying more for something which is not really that good but, in particular, children do see it as status to have seen film in 3D and pester power always works! I think this is why so many films in 3d are aimed at children.

I'd be interested to hear what comes out of the Big 3D debate at the Empire Big Screen. Last time I went to an industry event it was just unfiltered 3D praise and how it's here to stay, with no chance of a discussion.
