Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

I watched the original Avatar on 2D on cinemas when it was released.

A few days later I went to a 3D screening. The only time the 3D really called my attention was when the "wheelchair guy" was on an empty room with the "bad military guy".

3D is a little enhancement/gimmick, but not a must. I avoided 3D movies from that day on, it's not worth the money.

The most impressive thing I remember from when I watched Avatar in 3d, was the trailer for Toy Story before the movie.
