I shall give the dead horse one more punch.
Roger Ebert gave a glowing review of Pixar's latest, "Up!"
However in doing so, he once again lashed out (and rightfully so) against stereoscopic 3D in film:
There is also the annoyance of 3D itself. It is a marketing gimmick designed (1) to justify higher ticket prices, and (2) make piracy harder. Yet as most of the world will continue to use 2D, pirated prints will remain a reality. The effect of 3D adds nothing to the viewing experience, and I have never once heard an audience member complain that a movie is not in 3D. Kids say they "like" it, but kids are inclined to say they "like" anything that is animated and that they get to see in a movie theater. It is the responsibility of parents to explain this useful truth: If it ain't broke. don't fix it. Every single frame of a 3D movie gives you something to look at that is not necessary.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, as silly as it sounds, I'm lucky enough to have a theater close to my home that isn't capable of supporting stereoscopic 3D. This is the theater that will continue to get my business until this fad, yet again, dies the same death it has a dozen times before.
