Lame.
Would you care to elucidate on that?

The OP asked for my feeling on it
I don't like 3D movies. I don't like wearing the glasses, and I don't think the 3D effects are worth wearing them for. I also don't like the surcharge to sit and wear 3D glasses and watch a 3D movie when I prefer the 2D version.
Personal preference, basically.
Anyone calling 3D a fad or gimmick is just not thinking logically. Technology advances don't happen overnight. Right now 3D requires uncomfortable glasses and makes some people sick, but every dollar paid for a 3D movie is going to encourage future improvements in the quality. Eventually we will watch TV and movies in full virtual reality as if we were actually there, but that takes time and a cause for investment.
But then again many military personnel of the early 20th century thought the tank was a gimmick that would never catch on, and that seemed to work out pretty well for them.

Maybe we will. Maybe we won't. Claiming to be able to predict the future of the technology in either direction is a fool's errand.

Inching closer every day. I'm already excited to have one of these at my house!
now that would be a major problem for me, I'm hard of hearing and rely on subtitles heavily. Making them 3D would create a huge barrier to being able to enjoy the film - floating words? no thank you.no seen many 3d films except when i was in hong kong. They went and turned subtitles into 3D and that was really off putting, why an earth did they do that....
I'll never see a movie in 3D... I'm longsighted, and my eyes aren't of equal vision strength, which means I'm 3D blind. I tried once, everything was blue... apart from that wearing the glasses over my own was not very comfy. Beside I'm glad in a way, watching any telly for too long makes me travel sick... it's all this stupid shoddy modern camera work moving in and out, and shaking all about.
