[Movies] Does a film being in 3D affect your likelihood of seeing it?

[Baracuda]

Unless it seems like a good movie like "The Hobbit", I wouldn't watch a 3d film, unless there's an option for a non-3D version.

[draynay]

if by affect you mean, make me not want to watch it, then yes, I don't want 3D

[Shinzai]

Things being in 3D or 2D has no effect on my choice of what to watch. I watch films because I like films and what they offer, the viewing mode is a far and distant consideration when I look for something to watch.

However, if it's in the correctly done, fully designed for Imax and filmed in 3D, I might prefer go and see it in that. Otherwise, 2D is preferable. Imax 2D is my favourite viewing choice in the cinema.

I've yet to go and see a 3D movie but i know for sure that o wouldnt waste time seeing one that wasn't filmed in 3d in the first place. Retrofitting films like that does not work.

Heard that best films in 3D are the effects driven ones, any truth to this?

[Adam Jensen]

Since the release of Avatar (The one with blue people and the Alien nudity) Hollywood seems to be obsessed with 3D, many films such as The Hobbit are being filmed in 3D and others are being retrofitted (Having 3D stuck on after filming).

So does a film being filmed in 3D or retrofitted affect your chances of watching it in the cinema? Why?

Goddammit, The Hobbit better have a 2D option.

[Souma]

Depends a bit on the film, if it's not something I'm really looking forward to I might just skip it cause 3D films are more expensive. If it's something I really want to watch, I'll go anyway, doesn't matter if it's in 3D or not.

[Faroth]

I said no, but sometimes it's actually possible that being in 3D will make me LESS likely to see it.

Most 3D films aren't worth the extra "premium" ticket cost and I'd rather wait and watch them at on in 2D blu ray.

Goddammit, The Hobbit better have a 2D option.

I hope so too. While I'm not against it being filmed in 3D, I feel that since the Lord of the Rings was not a 3D trilogy, it is more fitting for The Hobbit trilogy to be as akin to LotR as possible.

no, because I don't see any difference. seriously, I don't perceive any sort of different degree of depth and what-not in a 3D movie. I don't know who created this whole 3D thing but I think he's just tricking everybody into playing more to see the same thing with some funny glasses on your face lol

I cannot see 3D either, I have to say, I never realised it was so common.

Another glasseswearer here who won't go to the theaters to watch a 3D movie, no matter how comfortable those over glasses are. I have to wear those things enough at work.
Besides, it's been ages since I've been to a theatre, I prefer to get my movies on dvd/Bluray and watch in the comfort of my home (cheaper too)

When I go to the cinema, I never watch in 3D because I think it sucks. The glasses makes your nose "heavy", I don't know, some weird feeling in your nose, and sometimes I get a little fuzzy while watching it, so I dislike it.

When I went to see Avatar in 3D I liked it but that was the only movie so far that I didn't feel with headaches or any problem, the rest I've seen have been crappy in 3D and it didn't really matter if I watched it in 2D or not, asides from the headaches and the nose thing.

Yes it does...I don't like being screwed over ! And being charged for the glasses EVERYTIME even if I brought my own

[Itisamuh]

I prefer 2D over 3D any day. No particular reason, other than it just seems distracting.

[ati87]

I didn't go to Planet of the Apes because the schedule of the normal 2d show was messed up.........

I cursed at myself that I paid extra to see Spiderman in Imax + 3d, the 5 sec introduction to IMAX was more 3d then the whole bloody movie.

[Deleted]

I dislike 3D in general and it rarely gives the movie a positive afterthough.

Since I'm not forced to watch it in 3D I don't mnid it really.

Also the 3D in Belgium is just horrible compared to those in America and Canada for example (I don't know from other countries as I have no experience there)

[Deleted]

3D is almost the only reason for me to watch a movie in the cinema

[inboundpaper]

I don't want to spend the money on a gimmik, so I see it in plain old 2d.

[Taik]

I chose Yes cause it reduces the likelihood of me watching it, I do not like 3D

[Faesroll]

One day it might be worth watching but right now it's just god aweful and I simply look for another cinema if they don't show it normally.
