Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

I love it, bought all the 3d movie I could. It just offers much more immersion for me. I still have my 3d tv and projector, but they stopped making the movies. Sad day.

I like them too, there are still a few movies that get a 3D release (although live action movies now are pretty much all just 3D conversion). Wikipedia lists 12 movies released this year that got 3D releases, 5 of those are animated movies, and 3 are Marvel movies. I missed the window on 3D home theater, but with the right tools I can watch the 3D releases I do have in VR, which is admittedly slightly less comfortable, but works since I'm the only person I know that actually likes watching in 3D anyway.

Do they release outside of the cinema though?

[-] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A few do on BluRay, although that's likely not going to last much longer, since the studios seem to really want to kill off physical media.

Ah, I've not seen 3d blurays in forever
