Whilst I don't mind the odd 3D experience at the cinema (it's a novelty). Am I the only one with no desire to watch things in 3D on my home TV? 
Not that I don't think the technology is amazing though, 'cause damn...it is!
And now I know about a 3D tv that doesn't require glasses, I'm drawn to google it. Fascinating.

3D TV seems like a gimmick to me. Most of these movies coming out in 3D today were later converted to 3D and werent properly done to support it. Avatar is the exception.

The movies do it to compete with the advances TV has and is making. I know movie theaters will still be around, but the way the industry is changing, they're becoming obsolete...I hope I'm wrong, because movies are meant to be enjoyed on the big screen.

I imagine one day tv and cinema will break that 4th wall. Maybe not in my lifetime, but someday my great great great grandkids may find themselves living and interacting with movies, shows and games, rather than just watching them or playing them on a flat screen.

I'm with you. I'm loving hd and blue ray 3d doesn't seem that fun.

I don't really care for 3D tv, esp if that means being inconvienced by wearing glasses each viewing.

IT’S THE WASTE OF A DIMENSION. When you look at a 2-D movie, it’s already in 3-D as far as your mind is concerned. When you see Lawrence of Arabia growing from a speck as he rides toward you across the desert, are you thinking, “Look how slowly he grows against the horizon”? Our minds use the principle of perspective to provide the third dimension. Adding one artificially can make the illusion less convincing. 
IT CAN BE A DISTRACTION. Some 3-D consists of only separating the visual planes, so that some objects float above others, but everything is still in 2-D. We notice this. We shouldn’t. In 2-D, directors have often used a difference in focus to call attention to the foreground or the background. In 3-D the technology itself seems to suggest that the whole depth of field be in sharp focus. I don’t believe this is necessary, and it deprives directors of a tool to guide our focus.
