[…] in a different format, and the story easily withstands multiple viewings. A few days ago I shared my views on the various technical formats. In short: I’m not overly excited about the whole 3D thing still. It’s just delivered […]

Right you are Karel! Story is king and it really doesn’t matter what the format. Personally, I think this current 3D stuff is a fad but that’s not what the media is preaching. I agree with you on the quality experience thing! I’ve been so disappointed with my theatre going experience in the past that I’d much rather watch a 480p DVD version on my 37″ LCD TV than pay twice the amount for theatre tickets. Ever since I heard Robert Rodriguez on an audio commentary complain about how theaters run their projectors at half brightness to conserve bulb life, I’ve been amazed at how much more vivid colors (especially in animated fare) are on my old 720p LCD as opposed to what you see in the theatre. And since I’ve aged a bit and my eyes aren’t what they used to be, I think that really effects my enjoyment of 3D. About six months ago the family visited Disneyworld and I was sorely disappointed in the quality of the visual 3D image in their movie venues. If you’ve got to have perfect vision to see it, what’s the point!

I couldn’t agree more with the current state of 3D. This is especially true with the rush to post-process films to 3D. It’s more of a distraction than an integral part of the film. Once someone figures out how to do 3D right (shoot in stereo, make it meaningful to the story and not just a gimmick), I might give it another shot. But right now, I’m still opting for the 2D versions, like we did when we saw TS3 opening night.
