It seems like every movie released these days has a 3-D version. It is a gimmick that has been taken a little to far in my opinion. 3-D can be good in some cases, but I really do not see the need to make every movie is 3-D.

“Clash of the Titans” is a movie I am really looking forward to. Will I see it in 3-D. Not a chance. I do not see how it will benefit from that extra dimension. What is worse is that it was not filmed it 3-D, it was converted after the fact.
Movies like “Avatar,” as bad as it was, was amazing in 3-D. It was filmed in 3-D and used the medium really well. Converting a movie after it is done being filmed just seems stupid.

What it really boils down to is an opportunity to make more money. A regular movie costs $9.50. A “Real D” movie, anything that is not IMAX, costs $13. An IMAX 3-D movie costs $14. That is why “Avatar” has made so much money. There are three versions of the movie!

3-D is a stupid gimmick whose sole purpose is to make more money. Unless a movie is filmed in 3-D there is no need to see it in 3-D.

Save yourself the money and just see the regular 2-D version.
