So with the release of "Monsters vs. Aliens", it seems that the reemergence of 3-D movies is in full swing. While I was surfing the web, I came across an advertisement while waiting for a page to load. The advertisement was for a movie coming out called "The Battle for Terra." The big thing about this film is that it is presented in 3-D. What I'm curious about is when did 3-D become so popular or in demand all of a sudden? 3-D was popular when it was introduced in the early 1950s. Hell! They even named a character in Back to the Future after 3-D technology.
Take a good look at the above picture... See that gentleman in the middle towards the background? Yes, that is Billy Zane and you can tell by the scowl on his face that even he is disapproving of those ridiculous 3-D glasses.
Do people really want to pay $11.50 for a movie that they have to watch through a pair of flimsy cardboard glasses? Well they are more than welcome to do so, but as for me, I'm all set to watch my cinema in good ol' 2 dimensional formatting.
I'm ready for 3-D goggles for watching at home--but I can pass on the flimsy glasses in the theater...except that it just feels so 1950s that it makes me smile to just think about it. What's so bad about that?!
