It's a lame idea. I look forward to a time when I will feel that I am actually in the movie with the characters, and not ducking from some flying piece of something or moving from a hand coming out at me. But, even then, the plot would need to warrant the pull into the movie. 3D is just some new rehash fad like it was in the past. It takes away from the movie sometimes and especially the plot. 3D does not tempt me to go see a movie. I would never own a pair of these "glasses."

Terrible idea. With the high prices of movie tickets, the cost (fuel & parking) to get to the theater, and the increase in downloading movies before they are released on DVD I think this is a waste of time and efforts and is NOT FORWARD THINKING. The medium and the theater going experience is changing, focus your efforts there, not in dreams and ideas of the past. LAME. Terrible idea.

Come November, when it's all Oscar-buzz material stuff, no one will want to see 3-D flicks. I mean, think of last year: The threequels might have been cool in 3-D (it might have made them suck less--I certainly felt that way with Beowulf), but who would have wanted to see No Country for Old Men or Juno in 3-D?

Pure gimmick, nothing else. I'm certainly not crazy about the idea of more films being shot in 3D. I've always viewed that as just sort of a kiddy-gimmick, and I honestly think I'd be more put off from seeing a movie if it was only available in that format. It just doesn't appeal to me, personally. Less 3D, more IMAX, please. Ugh, I agree with what a lot of other people have been saying. Pure gimmick, nothing else.

I do back that up though with the fact that to date 3D has not made any movie out there better than it would have been without it, so whats really the point. I see this as a way to combat the digital media craze. The closer we get to being able to skip the theaters to see the latest movie and instead watch it in our homes the more the theaters need some kind of gimmick to draw you to them.

I've had a pair for over a year, just put them in your pocket when you're heading to see a 3D movie, problem solved! I know that the studio is trying to save money, but hardly anyone is going to buy these expensive adjusting sunglasses, so the studio will always have to provide some for free. Why would anyone pay for "movie glasses" if they didn't have to? Is someone planning to spend THAT MUCH time watching 3D movies in a theatre? Will 3D even get THAT big? I mean, I'm looking forward to Avatar, but c'mon... The more I think about Katzenberg's statement, the more I think he's an idiot. This is just a pipe dream.
