Topic #202: Here in the U.S. it can sometimes be harder to find a theater playing a new movie in plain old 2D than in 3D. Do you think the trend for releasing movies in 3D will continue, or is it on the way out? Why or Why not?

I don’t think that 3D movies are going to continue on with such popularity in the future. I’ve never seen a 3D movie in a theater before, but I’ve heard that it doesn’t really add that much to the movie. When we watch 2D movies, we automatically add a third dimension into the picture. For example, when we see a tiny man slowly getting bigger, we assume that he is walking towards us, not rapidly expanding in size and mass. The added dimension really isn’t needed to help us out with that.

I also heard that watching movies in 3D will give you headaches. I remember my dad telling me a long time ago that he read in a newspaper that if you watch a movie in 3D, it takes your brain twice as long as the movie after it’s over to go back to its normal state. It didn’t mention any damage occurring, but I’d rather avoid a headache and watch a 2D movie, adding the third dimension in by myself.
