3D Movies, An Ever Growing Trend

Posted by Erin Allen, on March 8, 2010

I went to see Alice in Wonderland on the weekend. Refusing to wait for the crowds to die down in order to see what was sure to be an excellent movie. I, of course, went to see the movie in 3D and as with any 3D movie I was happy with my decision.

3D, which is becoming an exceedingly popular trend, is in my opinion worth the extra money and the slight head ache. When items are popping out of the screen at you, you can’t help but feel involved. This works well in a movie like Alice because the Underland is very interesting and a place that I'm sure many people would love to visit. Some other movies that are set to be released in 3D are, Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Dispeciable Me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2, Disney's Rapunzel, and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, that's just the tip of the ice burg. I09 has a list of 32 films to be released in 3D over the next few years.

While I don’t really understand how 3D works, I am excited for the advances that are sure to come. Including bringing 3D into the home, which Blu-ray players will be doing later this year. I'm just waiting for a time where the glasses are no longer necessary. Although they fit over my perscription glasses wearing two pairs of glasses isn't exactly comfortable.
