No 3D For New Batman Film - Turning Point For Hollywood? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I don't want to go over the usual pro- and anti-3D arguments here, because many of us have done so many times over the course of the year. But I do wonder whether the tide is turning. For it's only a few weeks since Warner Bros abandoned plans to add a post-production 3D fix to Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part I. Presumably stung by the size of the criticism it attracted for its fairly terrible Clash Of The Titans 3D bolt-on, Warner Bros decided not to risk such a backlash again. And now - and this is something I'm coming to shortly - it's agreed that 2D is the way forward for the next Batman film too.

Is the 3D tide turning? Is it a fad that is running it's course?

I was happy to read on the weekend that Nolan had decided to stick to HD and IMAX cameras instead of opting for the gimmickry of 3D.

I think 3D has a place so I am hesitant to call it a fad or gimmickry but its probably best used for a limited selection of movies, not everyone!

3D works well for some movies, and not at all for others, and I think that's how the trend (if you can call it that) will continue.

Thank you Hollywood! Some movies need to focus on story and not things popping out of the screen.

For me I think 3D is only for animated movies(Pixar type). I don't really care for the rest done in 3D

3D is great for those who want it. I really don't care as long as they continue to offer the movies in 2D as well and the quality doesn't suffer.
