they're all like "3d is dumb!
Yeah and I don't get comments that. Why base your argument regarding 3D on old anaglyph 3D tech when that tech is as far away from the new and improved as it is to real life 3D perception itself. Anaglyph 3D technology was obviously nothing more than a gimmick because between the viewer and the 3D effect there was a ton of bad and tireing side effects. They basically had to lower the quality and comfort of every aspect within the picture in order to extract a 3D effect. And though it was fun to watch it compromised to many vital things in order to become something bigger and wide spread.
It isn't good for much more than little movie snippets were people keep waving sticks in your face for 45 minutes.
No one in their right mind would make a big block buster movie today using such garbage technology. If that's where we were today regarding 3D then do you think a movie like Avatar or Alice in wonder land etc would even have been considered for 3D? Who would like to watch their favorite sports broad casts on a daily basis if you had to put up with all those distortions that take away from the experience or even make you feel sick? Imagine walking around in real life with that many distortions to your vision. That's anaglyph 3D for you. Fun for an hour every now and then unless you get naucious or recieve a head ache afterwards. That's a gimmick. You can put up with the bad for a short while in order to get the fun it gives you.
3D perception is part of human design and when ever I can get it with good picture reproduction I'll take that anyday over a lame 2D image. 2D does the job but my own brain tells me that something is missing.
Modern shutter glass technology coupled with good screens do nothing to the image except turning it into pure 3D. It's no different from watching a movie with prescribtion glasses. Except it gives you perfect 3D.
So what the heck is up with all the comments about "no way in hell would I ever put those silly glasses on my head". I mean what the hell, it's not like someone is asking you to wear a space suit or watch a movie standing on your head or something. Just a freakin' pair of glasses and they're not in your way so what's the big deal? Ever seen a human put on their glasses before the news or a movie starts? If they were to feel annoyed or overly encumbered from wearing them I'm sure they would just choose to take them off and watch what ever the heck they're watching with their own fuzzy eye sight.
Regarding shutter technology ghosting is still a problem though as long as you use LCD and in my mind the last thing that needs to go away before we can say that the picture retains exactly as high quality as the 2D version we're used to. I'm still using the Samsung screen. That's a first generation 3D LCD screen and sometimes has terrible ghosting. Well the second generation screens are just now hitting the market and though they still have some ghosting they have improved trumendously. One or two more generations down the road and there should be next to nothing.
