Scamming Viewers and Customers in 3D

nimblemarlin6 said:Honestly, once a movie starts being marketed as 3D, it loses all credibility.
Take a movie like Monterey, for instance. It makes perfect sense in 3D because it's pure trash where sharks and cleavage are constantly popping out at you from the screen. That’s the whole point of 3D—it's just a cheap gimmick for kids and teenagers.

Exactly. That's why they shouldn't even bother using the format if they aren't going to actually utilize it. And they definitely shouldn't be offering nothing but a 3D version of a film.

Let's not be provocative. I think he described my impression quite accurately. Most documentaries like Hubble usually play in museum IMAX theaters that mostly just show docs anyway. People tend to talk about feature films or cartoons that just had a 3D effect tacked on. I suppose once something is labeled 3D, it loses a bit of its gravity, maybe even something like your Avatar.
