3D Dead!

I will still give Man Of Steel a go for 3D but I am 99% convinced that post 3D conversion is an absolute lost cause!

Pity, as the IMAX 3D logo/trailer is just... WOW... and I thought Avatar was done really well (obviously better to shoot in 3D than do it post).

Sure... Post 3D conversion is inferior. Iron Man 3 was also a post conversion. I'm more interested in seeing everything shot at 48fps in order to address motion blur, particularly on the big screen.

IMAX updated their projector after The Hobbit was released, so maybe we'll get to see the 48fps version for the next instalment?

Count me in as somebody who could not care less about 3D. Just another gimmick to sell you the equipment you already own all over again... Whatever happened to actual storytelling? Most movies are not even shot natively in 3D...

Never cared about 3D.

Once the holodecks are created, count me in.

It doesn't really matter if it was natively created in 3D. We all seek that third dimension from our 2 channel setup but then when it really matters (on a video screen) people seem to want that same old flat two dimension that they have been living with since the inception of "flickers". Iron Man was a good example of adding depth rather than having objects flying out from the screen. You just had to close one eye while watching the movie to see the benefit of adding the third dimension.

I still enjoy movies that are not released in 3D, just as I still enjoy listening the occasional music session in my car.
