I am noticing that more and more movies are coming out as 3D. When it first came out a few years back, it made a little sense because they were based on action films where there were exploding items. But now they are even making movies that don't make any sense to be in 3D. The most recent movie I noticed was GLEE, which is a musical after all. Why would someone be interested in seeing a musical in 3D?
I asked this question on FB and was actually surprised that many people LOVED it. Is this an experience that is just completely lost on me? I'd prefer to see the movie as is, which no additional special effects. Don't get me wrong, I like rollercoaster rides and do not get motion sickness. So, suprises are actually enjoyable to me. But when I am watching a movie, I do not need to feel like something is flying AT me.
Spy Kids is coming out with a new twist on 3D... the 4D ? So, now you will get the 3D feel PLUS you will get to SMELL what the actor is smelling.... ummm, say what?? That's right! If the movie has Oranges in it, you will be notified to smell a card or something (like a scratch and sniff) that smells like an orange. Then the next scene may have something that smells horrible, like rotten eggs, and you will get to smell that as well.
The 4D is another attempt at including the audience into the movie. Does this movie technique make you want to see the movie even more? Not me. I'll wait for the rental or for the showing without the 3D option. As for the 4D... No Thank You!
