I also avoid it becauseSince I was young I was a big 3D enthusiast, waiting decades for a really good system to come out. It finally has, I've enjoyed it, and now I can take it or leave it.
Be careful what you wish for.
I avoid itbecause it all looks blurry, black and white and gives me a headache

I often amaze those magic eye picsThey're simple little things, it doesn't take much to amaze them.
Also: I've seen two films in 3D -- Avatar and Alice in Wonderland. Avatar was visually impressive but shit, Alice in Wonderland was visually unimpressive and looked for all the world like a very high-class South Park-esque construction paper film. At the end of it, I had chafed ears and a chafed nose from having to wear 3D glasses on top of my normal glasses.

Watch it on a good active 3d tvDifferent experience all together. Much better.
The cinema passive systems are ho hum.
And glasses free consumer sets are already on sale, just stupid expensive.

I'm hoping that it's a passing fad and studio executives will get over it soonAs has been said many times, it's drawing attention to the packaging rather than the content - a bit like reading a good book which every fourth page interrupts the story to talk about the binding method and type of paper used in its construction

I recall doing a bit about that for the sikipedia gig Or it was about Avatar being shite. I hate 3D too. I just walk around with one eye closed.
Did anyone watch the Hobbit 3D HFR? I just watched the normal 3d and hated it. I wish I went to see the 2D. HFR looks like blokes on a set dressed up daft. Not a magical film.
The crappy grain and motion blur makes it look like cinema. Now that the cinemas are HD that's gone.
Cinemas have always been HD, in fact the resolution of an old cinema would still be higher than a current 1080p set.

It's specially frustrating in subtitled filmsas you have to look either at the subtitles or at the scene. And the subtitles are oddly placed in the front plan, and makes me dizzy reading it as the cam and characters keep moving around.

Tintin was OK in 3D, other 3D films I've seen haven't been worth itIf 3D is done properly, it just looks like normal everyday stuff which isn't very exciting.
When it's done over the top it's just unrealistic.
You can't win really.
