I avoid 3D whenever I can (unless it's a free screening) but I am looking
forward to A Harold and Kumar Christmas in 3D BECAUSE of the stupid 3D
gimmicks. They have an excuse to use it for comedy and mockery of 3D. For
most movies it needs to avoid calling attention to itself so as not to
distract from the story. If I am engrossed in the story, I'm not noticing
the 3D so there doesn't seem to be much point. If I admire the quality of
the 3D and what it adds to the image, I am only looking at the movie rather
than experiencing it.
It would be ok to notice 3D if it is used in a way that helps tell the
story, like the way camera movement, focus, composition, etc. are used as
storytelling tools. Or in the case of Harold and Kumar, as gags. If it is
only an overlay to subtly enhance the realism of the experience, then it is
more in the category of surround sound, and I don't remember ever paying
extra for a movie because it was shown with DTS.
I think 3D as a premium is better suited to documentary subjects of the sort
where the selling point is spectacle rather than story.

Good.
Maybe filmmakers will have to actually create good stories instead of
relying on stupid 3D gimmicks to put butts in the seats.
Can we borrow Bill Clinton's sign and amend it to say "It's the STORY
stupid!"
Oh what am I saying. I want a pony too.... or maybe a Porsche.
