Wait do not jump to conclusions. There is a scientific reason behind it. Watch the full video and see it for yourselves, then decide if the next movie you will watch will be a 3D film or not.

[@adityansah]

You proved the whole point of this video when you said that we have to focus on the things popping in front of us while the background is not blurry. I think you haven't watched movies where 3D is implemented correctly. Also the point that 3D movies take longer to edit is just plain bad and the script writer didn't really do his homework. Movies are now easier to make than even in history and areas like editing allows the studio to flex its muscles and set themselves apart in the industry.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

I recently watched Avatar 2 in 3D, mainly because that was the only way to also watch it in HFR, and while the 3D looked really good in a few scenes, in the vast majority of scenes, it just completely destroyed the look of the movie, since I saw most objects double, unless I was looking directly at the subject. The issue is that the movie often fails to frame the scene such that your eyes are naturally drawn to the subject, and sometimes does the exact opposite, causing your eyes to look at something which is not the subject, and whenever this happens, everything becomes unclear, and I would see double. The biggest issue is that I love looking around at scenes, studying the backgrounds and noticing little details, something which becomes absolutely impossible in 3D It really looked amazing when I was looking at the subject, but it was absolutely terrible when I did not.

[@aayushdudhiya]

Try watching a 3D stereoscopic 360 film on a VR headset. I'm sure you'll have a different opinion about it. It depends on the lens and the movement in the frame. It gives you a sense of depth in the scene, a catalyst in increased immersion. :)

for exemple i was at no way home IMAX and it was an amazing experience, 2nd time went at a 3d cinema and it was a lot darker and couldnt see everything lol

[@soumyasarkar4048]

Most interestingly before sound and colour became the big thing on film , 3d film first came in 1922 and still not able to make his placed in film. 3d film is actually based on the idea of the shift of images if we see in one eye and closed the other eye. In simply we can see what 3d camera and lenses do is like a you have two more eyes in front of eyes and its changing focus way more faster than our normal eyes does which creates a illusion of 3d. But I think VR can be next big thing in film. I dont have an experience on VR. So, I cant say from my experience on that point. It seem like a next gen thing. If that happens, it will change whole film . Not only as a experience as a new artistic tool. Just think Tarkovsky making the zone of Stalker fim in VR. I really like to hear the thoughts of those who have VR experience.

[@shobhit4078]

3D is not overrated, some movies are just epic in 3D

[@neelmehta3131]

It is very dark man while watching 3D Since I Got the Specs , When I watched IW , Endgame and FFH it was not that Dark (Maybe Due to Cinepolis 3D because they have good Theatres) but since 2021 I got specs , Shang-Chi was not that Dark (Watched in Inox) but Eternals and was totally Ruined by PVR Gujarat and so was Spider-Man NWH because it was too Dark , i think the theatres also has something to do with quality of 3D , Never had Problems with Cinepolis but I decided No More 3D films , IMAX can Work but from Now on Only 2D films

I also share the hatred for 3D movies. I recently watched Dune in a standard 3D cinema, it was so awful that i didn't enjoy the movie at all. However, i had the chance of going to a Dolby Cinema (Joker 2D) last year and it was fantastic. I wish producers and cinemas focused more on image and sound quality instead of this 3D absurdity.

[@youtubeno8781]

What is the best way to watch a movie? 4dx, 3d, dolby, imax or standard?

[@DrFatesOrder]

Depends on the movie and what you enjoy. Most movies are perfectly fine in standard, as it's the expected viewing method. Some movies like The Batman are designed with IMAX and Dolby in mind and can be an incredible experience. The Avatar movies are created for 3D and 4dx, with that being the intended viewing method. It's otherworldly and can fully immerse you in its world. Just look into the movies before release and how heavy they market viewing methods, if they frequently mention Dolby or IMAX then it's probably a really awesome experience if it's possible for you to do so. If not, then it will likely be just fine in standard viewing. 3D and 4dx are very rare to have movies specifically designed for them, but can still be enjoyable ways of viewing even if it's not the original intention. So it pretty much is left up to you and how you enjoy seeing movies.

Let’s not forget that Avatar was made for 3D, the reason most films fail is because they didn’t take the time or technology that Avatar did, that’s why it took the second film so much longer to make because it took time with the technology & editing for that 3D feel. The only flim’s that are good at this is animation movies because they are bright movies that can easily be 3D & the human eye doesn’t mind this,
