I have to nag you about stereoscopic amnesia again

[Bridge]

I don't consider 3D to be a step towards virtual reality. It's a gimmick that's been around for decades and still only consists of an image for the left and an image for the right eye. It's very straining on the eyes because regardless of the term '3D', it is actually made up of two 2D images. The background is going to be blurry compared to what the camera was focused on regardless of what your eye tries to focus on. The end result looks more like a background with cardboard characters up front.

Besides, it's not just a niche of moaners, but the general public as a whole can't stand 3D for long, as theatres here have started to incorporate breaks during 3D viewings (while the 2D viewings don't contain any breaks).

In Iceland where I live every movie has an intermission, even 90 minute movies. It's been like this for decades; it's obviously a ploy to get you to buy more stuff but really, all countries should adopt this system. Being able to stand up and walk around for 5-10 minutes and empty your bladder is really convenient. Even with these intermissions 3D movies are almost unbearable.
