Having to wear 2 pairs of glasses at the same time sucks.

/Second

I spend most of the movie adjusting the damn glasses to keep the visuals as clear as possible.

I've seen three movies in 3D so far, and the only interesting part of any of them was the credits.

I don't go to a 3D version of a film any longer. In my opinion, the 3D elements and the glasses distract (and detract) from the film-going experience. I don't so much care if the 3D fad dies off or not, as long as they continue to offer the same films in a 2D format.

Unfortunately, it's starting to sound like until 3D dies out, it's even crippling our 2D films:

Quote:
So why aren’t theater personnel simply removing the 3-D lenses? The answer is that it takes time, it costs money, and it requires technical know-how above the level of the average multiplex employee. James Bond, a Chicago-based projection guru who serves as technical expert for Roger Ebert’s Ebertfest, said issues with the Sonys are more than mechanical. Opening the projector alone involves security clearances and Internet passwords, “and if you don’t do it right, the machine will shut down on you.’’ The result, in his view, is that often the lens change isn’t made and “audiences are getting shortchanged.’’

If Hollywood would have let this technology mature instead of just jumping on it, it could have led to somewhere. Now it will likely be a relic of the film industry since the trend will swing wildly in the other direction and studios will simply refuse to fund films, even ones which could make real use of it. I.e. CGI heavy films.

It'll come back around. Isn't the first time Hollywood has tried 3D movies only to bail when they flopped.

It's a noble attempt at 3D. I think it is effectively attempt #2. Attempt #1 was with the red/blue glasses. Can't wait to see what attempt #3 is like... maybe that will be better, maybe not. Right now I have no reason to buy a 3D tv.
