From his piece in Newsweek:
3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood’s current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches. It is driven largely to sell expensive projection equipment and add a $5 to $7.50 surcharge on already expensive movie tickets. Its image is noticeably darker than standard 2-D. It is unsuitable for grown-up films of any seriousness. It limits the freedom of directors to make films as they choose. For moviegoers in the PG-13 and R ranges, it only rarely provides an experience worth paying a premium for.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m closing my eyes and pretending that 3-D doesn’t exist. I am perfectly happy with cinema the way it is, especially now that I can watch feature films at home in high definition.
I’m almost 37, so am I at the point in my life when I stop embracing new technology just because I don’t want to adopt it? Or is this tech a waste of time? As always, the general public will ultimately be the judge. (Please choose wisely!)
