3D would be great if they ever manage to eliminate 3D-crosstalk. But they haven't and it just makes everything seem out of fokus.

I much prefer the visual clarity you get without it.

Nope, Love them! Glad I still have my 3D TV working!

But also it depends on the movie.

Tron: Legacy, Dr.Strange, AntMan, Dredd, Avatars are all fantastic examples

I don’t hate them but unless it’s an Avatar movie I’m probably not going to go see anything in 3D. Both Avatar movies are completely worth the 3D experience. I did however really like the recent Titanic 3D rerelease. Overall though I do generally agree.

> Sony Pictures is able to survey the streaming landscape as a self-described “arms dealer” for the industry — a position Vinciquerra notes he’s happy to be in given the amount of money streamers are spending to compete. In addition to its deals with Netflix and Disney, the company also licenses and makes content for Amazon, Apple, Peacock and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Looks like they like getting paid by every service and don’t want to deal with running their own major streaming service considering the cost to be competitive.

Man Keke Palmer was awesome. I loved the movie. I think it’s Peele’s weakest of his three movies but I view that as more of a compliment cause I still thought Nope was a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

The 3D "experience" ruins even the best films for me, but I rarely go to a theatre to watch a film these days, so I'm fine waiting until a non-3D version is released.

In the past I’d be inclined to agree with you, however I saw two movies in 3D last year and it changed my opinion.

I saw Jaws in 3D (not to be mistaken with abomination that is Jaws 3-D) because they only rereleased in that format last summer. I absolutely loved it. I didn’t find myself noticing any bad 3D conversions and on a few occasions, the 3D felt like it enhanced some of the shots.

I also saw the most recent Avatar in IMAX 3D and that was a visual spectacle.

I really think the technology is starting to catch up and we will see 3D movies become more seamless and polished in the next few years.

There's no consumer 4K container format for them. That said, there are still lots of 4K-compatible 3D projectors. Epson still makes them, Benq makes them, Optima makes them. And when you get into the $$$$ range, there's quite a few, too. Barco makes a couple, IIRC.

Unfortunately, a firmware update won't help on a projector that doesn't have 3D support, because you need a wireless or IR sync signal being generated for the glasses.

IMO, at-home 3D will end up with a resurgence as newer feather-weight VR/AR headsets start to come down in price. The viewing experience of a 3D movie with a headset is orders of magnitude better better than with 3D glasses.
