First it was "Avatar." Then it was "Up." Now, there is a whole slew of new movies coming out in (insert booming theatrical trailer voice here) 3D!
"Piranaha 3D"
"Clash of the Titans"
"Saw 67 in 3D"
Even the latest installment of "Harry Potter" will be in 3D.
There's no denying that 3D movies are all the rage in Hollywood these days. But is this new trend a signal of the future technology of movies or is it simply a way for theaters to charge more money for tickets?
While some people argue that watching a movie in 3D adds a whole new element to the theater experience, others say it does nothing to enhance the experience and in some cases, actually distracts from the movie itself.
But I want to know your opinion. I'm working on a pro/con story about the 3D trend and would love to hear what you have to say. Feel free to call me at 361-580-6514 or shoot me an e-mail at abrandon@vicad.com.

I watched Avatar in 3D and was amazed at the quality and "feel" of the movie. I get seasick and airsick on occasion, so I was expecting not to "do well" in the movie. I had no problem at all. The glasses we were given were not all all like the cheesy cardboard versions found in cereal boxes. I think that made a difference too. All it all, I thought it was a great enhancement to the movie experience.

August 23, 2010 at 4:37 p.m.Smell-O-Vision. There are many things that I am glad I cannot smell at the movies. Try the poop ball that the dung beetle was pushing up the hill in "Ice Age."
"Dung Beetle Dad: [Pushing ball of dung] Do we have to bring this crap along? I'm sure they have crap where we're going!
Dung Beetle Mom: [Offended] Uh! This was a gift from my mother."
Or the smells that would go along with the movie Aliens when the creatures leap out the chest of the victims, yea, that would have to be a great one!
Lastly, any autopsy scene, like the ones in CSI, Bones, etc.
3D, yea, not a huge fan. I find it gets annoying after awhile. I would rather see it in the regular old fashioned way.
August 23, 2010 at 2:31 p.m.Waiting for the return of Smell-O-Vision movies - I want to know if Keanu Reeves really does smells as bad as he acts...
Boom tish
August 23, 2010 at 1 p.m.Personally, it gives me a headache, so I avoid them. Also, my 10-year-old little bro is legally blind in one eye and can't see 3D. It would be sad if they made all movies that way, alienating the people who can't see it.
