3D Movies

I have a lot of friends who are annoyed with the popularity of 3D movies these days.  I, on the other hand, am really diggin’ on the 3D movies.  I remember seeing the really bad 3D movies as a kid – the ones where you where the blue and red glasses and there wasn’t much of a story to the movie just lots of things coming at you.  The 3D back then was more about the special effects than trying to add depth to what we see on screen.  It is a drag that it makes movie viewing so much more expensive, but since I don’t go to the movie theater very often, it’s not that bad.  I do find that I end up only going to see 3D movies since I can’t have the same experience at home.

Technology for the 3D viewing experience is now being brought to the home – though not as affordable as it will be in a few years.    I wonder how far the 3D craze will go….will television start to be filmed in 3D?   At some point will the technology advance enough to find a way to eliminate the glasses?  It seems the logical next step since that is one of the things I hear most people complain about.
