Part of it felt like I was on a theme park ride, in a good way. I think 3D has a future.

More often than not, I find them more distracting than enjoyable. Movie theaters keep raising the prices while doing very little to increase the experience or even comfort. The industry needs to wake up or don't act surprised at hearing their death knoll. I enjoy the movie theatre experience however, I’ve never really seen the benefit of 3D films.

I as an avid fan of the theater experience saw Beowulf in 3D and was blown away! Ever since I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of regular 3D to no avail. As Norville points out home entertainement competes quite nicely with the traditional counterpart. So, now with 3D implementation in question and fewer and fewer high quality features being made, it cant bode well for the future of this awesome visual technology. This is unfortunate.

For years movie theaters have focused on the number of screens they have, creating these "mega theaters" and driving out the mom-and-pop theaters. Little has been done to improve the overall experience itself. The larger theaters smell horrible, usually have projector problems, and charge as much as $12 for popcorn and a soda (for one person). Why would I do that when I can enjoy my home theater with takeout for less? No cell phone disturbances, no projector issues, no lines, no people with hats/hairdos/BO sitting in front of you or talking around you. The theaters need to scale down the number of screens and scale up the experience itself. Make it more like going to Dave and Busters and less like going to the DMV. worse than smaller theaters. Now with home theater systems they've failed to adapt and change to improve the experience itself. I agree.
