The Movie Studios' Big 3D Scam 532
An anonymous reader writes "There's a lot of things wrong with 3D movies. Avatar's 3D was well executed, but Alice's 3D was really bad, like all 2D-to-3D conversions. And yet, studios are reconverting 2D movies—including classics—into 3D to milk this fad. On top of that, the theaters are not prepared for 3D, with bad eyeglass optics and dark projections. In this article, a top CG supervisor in a prominent visual effects studio in Los Angeles calls it as it is: it's all a big scam by the movie studios."

3 > 2 so 3D must be better than 2D. Personally, I waiting until they 'turn it up' to 11D.

3D does not make a bad script/actor/director/... better.
For example: Jaws 3 or Friday the 13th: Part 3

Think of the advantages: With 4D movies, if the movie sucks, you'll be able to get the three hours of your life back that you just wasted.

If you're douchey enough to go see the movies that get 3d-ified, and they suck, you only have yourself to blame.

I noticed that too, it seems like 20 years ago there were a lot more people my age that went to the movies. Now it's all just a bunch of youngins.
