I’ve sat through a handful of 3D movies over the past few years, and now today again I tried to give the medium another chance and chose to watch The Hobbit in 3D*. But I can safely say I am done with 3D movies.

I can’t think of a single moment in all of the 3D films I’ve seen where I’ve felt somehow more connected then I would if the image was 2D. The difference between a movie in color and black and white is huge, as well as the size of the frame really effects the way a story feels. But 3D is only a distraction.

I’ve fought being the cranky old guy who doesn’t like change from the beginning. My instinct has always been that this is entirely a gimmick. I can’t do it anymore though, 3D it’s time to get off »
