The recent trend of putting movies in 3-D has really been annoying me lately. It's like the studios saw how much money Avatar (a fucking shit-storm of a movie) made and they assume we want all our movies to be presented that way. And that's just fine with the theaters who have no problem charging an additional $2-$5 per ticket for the 3-D versions.

So I pose this poll to you all: am I alone in my detesting of the recent push for 3-D movies?

(And don't even get me started on 3-D TV...)

The trend started well before Avatar, but I still don't get it. I saw Avatar in 3D, and it was alternately annoying and nauseating (the 3D, that is -- sadly, I felt the need to clarify).

3D is a trend that's come and gone before, and it will go away again. For now, if you don't like it, don't go to 3D movies.

I wish it was this simple, though. Most of the theaters where I live ONLY show the movies in 3-D. No other option but to wait 'til video if I don't like it (which HAS been the course of action, actually).

The only other one I've seen was "Up", which was actually a great movie, but I would've much preferred to not have the distraction of the often-not-functioning-as-they-should glasses.

I hate 3D. The director might as well say "I know the movie sucks, so let me distract you with a gimmick from the 50s."

How is it not that simple? If you don't have a 2D option, and you don't like 3D, don't go to the movies.

Exactly. And that's been the course of action. But there have been times where I really did want to see the movie and passed because of the 3-D.

Granted, it's not a life-or-death type of decision or anything, but it's very aggravating, nonetheless.
