3D Movies More Fad Than Fancy

As I have written previously, I am not a fan of 3D movies, didn't consider buying a 3D HDTV, or have ever found the experience of watching 3D unbelievable. It seems I am not alone. "The novelty has apparently worn off and Americans are now opting for cheaper, less gimmicky 2D movies, such as the recent huge hit 'Hangover 2.'"

Is the economy partly to blame, perhaps. Is it that the experience of watching 3D requires special glass an issue; for me, absolutely. "Because 3D movies are significantly more expensive to attend, and because only a few movies like 'Avatar' have ever really made 3D seem truly amazing. For most movies, it's a lame add-on that doesn't add much." Hopefully, one day there will be a technology that supports a truly 3D visual experience. Once again, Star Trek may have had it right with their holodeck idea.
