Are you a fan of this recent "3D" craze and re-relea

I hate 3D.

You're just jealous because you have no depth.

Unless they add new material to movie re-releases, then no.

as for 3D gaming, not into it. I got the 3DS just so I could get Star Fox and Zelda

I don't like it.

Speaking of the 3D rereleases:
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace = Jar-Jar Binks in 3D. This is the 2012 catastrophe.

Not in the least. 3D doesn't work properly for me, causes headaches, and hardly seems to add anything. I was not impressed by Avatar, so I can only imagine how lame and tacked on the 3D is in the vast majority of movies, which weren't really made with it in mind. If this is supposed to be the "future" I can only hope it hangs on to using the option of the old style longer than other media changes tend to.

I don't mind the 3D experiance but I do prefer the new form of 3D (Like Tron: Legacy or the 3DS), just not the classic 3D (the red and blue lenses, they mess my eyes up and give me a head-ach).

I don't mind 3D as a niche genre, the technology is pretty amazing. But tacking it onto films that don't need it (for example, Lion King WTF!?) is pretty much just advertising for an anniversary blu-ray release.

I feel like too many people are just butthurt about 3D. Or anything 'new' for that matter.

It's definitely not perfect. Glasses are small (at least wearing them on top of my normal glasses) and the color is a little off in some movies at least. Once it improves it'll be pretty awesome.

3D movies do bothing for me. While I think the 3DS has a cool factor to it, I would have prefered to see a more graphically powerful system. It's just a fad for those interested. I don't think all that many people truly care for it.

I did not like it either - with or without the 3D.

Back in the fifties I ended up in a fist fight in the movie show during a 3D western
In the movie there are 2 cowboys hiding high up in the rocks as below a troop of Apaches ride along below in the valley.
While they are hiding a rattlesnake appears next to one of them
The cowboy reaches for his gun but his pal puts his hand out and stops him.
Then he juices up and gobs a huge wad of chewing tobacco at the rattlesnake which sends the snake slithering away.
However in 3D this gob of spit shots right out at you - I reacted to it by flailing my hands up to protect my self and accidentally elbow smashed, and I mean smashed, the poor guy behind me who was leaning forward watching this very tense moment of the show.
Needless to say he punched me back and my pals and his pals ended up turning the whole theater into melee for all.
Everyone got thrown out and I never did see the end of that movie.

The only movie I have seen in 3D is avatar, and if it weren't for the glasses on my face I wouldn't have even noticed it was 3D.

I'll probably see Titantic (just because I never saw it in theaters in the first place) and Star Wars, although I wish it was starting with episode IV. So I guess does that make me a fan? I don't know, as long as it's a good time for my money and a chance to get off base it's all good for me.

I don't get how some were not impressed by Avatar. Despite hating the whole 3D thing, the experience in 3D on a huge screen was pretty amazing and breathtaking. :shrug:

Not a fan. For one thing, I have yet to find any 3D glasses that can properly fit over my glasses. I can't wear contacts (don't ask why, just accept it) and I can't see two feet in front of me without some sort of corrective apparatus. Plus, I think the whole 3D thing is just a stupid gimmick. Hollywood did it back in the '80s, but it didn't last. I doubt it will this time, either.

Hollywood needs new material, badly.
No kidding. It's like they ran completely out of creativity. They're starting remakes of old TV shows (Bionic Woman, Battlestar Galactica, V and I've heard rumors of a new Charlie's Angels), they're making movies out of old TV shows, and butchering the shows in the process (Dukes of Hazzard, I Spy, Mission Impossible), they're making remakes of old (and not so old) films, sometimes with the same actors in different roles (The Longest Yard is the name a 1974 film & a 2005 film with Burt Reynolds in both, Red Tails, which is an alternate take on HBO's 1995 telefilm The Tuskegee Airmen - both with Cuba Gooding, Jr.), they're making movies based on old cartoons (Transformers, G.I. Joe), they're making tons of film adaptations of books and comic books (some good, some horrifically poor) and now they're re-releasing a bunch of old films in a half-assed 3d transfer format.

Hollywood? These days, it's more like "Hollywouldn't".

The only times when 3D in movies actually felt 3D were some scenes in Avatar and some shots in Resident Evil: Afterlife. I was impressed by Avater, but then 3D showed its biggest flaw for me in that movie. After a while I just sunk into the story and completely forgot about the 3D, the visual affects in a movie don't nearly matter as much to as a good story with an interesting setting. This is why I could not think of a worse concept for a movie then one designed solely for the purposes of 3D.

The vast majority of "3D" in movies is actually just one 2D image on top of another 2D image. Everything I see is in 3D, I know what 3D looks like. Hollywood seems to be ignoring what their eyes are showing them.

3D svcks it gives me a headache and those glasses are annoying. It's a fad that will hopefully go away.

Until holographic technology is created good old 2D will do me fine

Lately, we have seen a huge influx of re-releases of old films..in 3D.

Titanic
Beauty and the Beast
Star Wars: Phantom Menace
Etc, the list goes on

Are you a fan? I am not. I mean I think it is just getting stupid. Studios wanting to release old films with a half-arsed paint job gimmick with a full price tag. It's silly.

Thoughts? I'd make a poll but I can't do that on a mobile device. :(

Not really, but if they re-release The Empire Strikes Back to theatres, I will be very excited.

I don't get headache from 3D, but I still don't like it. Especially old movies being re-released as 3D.

What is more problematic is movies not coming out as 2D at all. (in the cinemas). The theater owners did, however, quickly understand that there was still a huge demand for 2D movies on cinemas and have put them back again.

No. As someone mentioned before there's a real distaste for it. It's distasteful.

I am one of those people who thinks that works don't really belong to their creators once they've been completed and released. They become their own entities really. You never hear of some publisher re-releasing a book with extra content shunted in. And yet with movies we get all these directors and producers who are so wrapped up in the idea that it's their baby and they have to coddle it and change it that we lose the original work and end up with some farcical freakshow frankenstein film.

Star Wars is the worst. Lucas couldn't leave it alone after it was out, after it was no longer his and treasured by so many people, and he very rudely and forcefuly changed it. Disney is very bad too, opting to re-draw countless backgrounds and scenes and even adding in entirely new songs that don't fit at all with the movie (Morning Report).

And now we have them scrambling to make some hobbled 3D production of old movies that were never meant to be 3D in the first place. If they wanted to make new movies 3D, by all means go for it; but no, they're just pulling up old things and re-submitting them. Ought to be tried for plagarizm.

I do not like it. No sir.

I'm not fussed about 3D, but I do like the idea of cinematic re-releases. My local cinema is tiny and quite crap so we don't really get massive amounts of choice and I don't think I've ever seen something re-released screened, but if I had the chance I would definitely go and see something like Alien at the cinema seeing as I never had the chance before.

The thing that I don't get is I'm sure I've heard certain directors say that in order for 3D to really pop you have to film it with that in mind to really get the best out of it (like Avatar - rubbish film imo but wonderful to look at). I reckon that just making an older 2D film 3D won't really enhance anything, seeing as it was already made to the best of the film-maker's intentions already. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
