The expectations for Avatar 3D were so high that when I actually went to watch it at the cinema, I was disappointed with the 3D effects. I kind of wanted a more emmersive experience, but found it hard to focus and get into the action. It doesn’t appear that anyone else was though..
Now with home 3D Tvs just around the corner and the hype machine operating in overdrive, I think I am going to be disappointed again. We’ve got James Cameron flying the banner for 3D televisions being the future of home television. I don’t doubt that it is a step forward, but I wish the hype would stop.
Doctors say that with 3D film, people are confronted with an entirely new sensory experience. This means that a greater mental effort is required to view making headaches possible with prolonged use. I got a headache after 20 minutes of Avatar..
