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?

Because it's pointless.

the effect wears off after the first or second scene. So then I'm just watching a regular movie where a handle occasionally comes out of the screen.
it's gimmicky. It just doesn't add anything of value for me.
it's a hassle. I don't want to wear (and eventually toss) a cheap pair of plastic glasses.

VR on the other hand. Rules.

I don't understand where the VR comment comes from. It's not like 3D and never has been. They're 2 wildly different things.

That’s just like your opinion man
