Well, TVs with larger screens and better sound systems than many theaters are common in many U.S. households. (Alas not mine). So that's not an apt comparison. And I don't agree with your presumption that 3-D is an exhibition improvement like good sound.


Frankly, it takes me out of the movie a little bit to wear those glasses. I'm very conscious of them. Also, while I enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D very much, I don't consider it better than the "regular" version. It seemed like a gimmick.


And ya know what else, $15.50 a ticket for the pleasure seemed a little steep.


And you're right about one thing, size of the screen won't really matter. If UP is as good as other Pixar movies, I'll be seeing 99% of my viewings on my TV screen, and will still like it.


I'm not looking for the smallest screen to watch it on tonight, but neither did it concern me that the 2-D version will likely be showing on a smaller screen than the 3-D.

If a 3D movie is done right, it will make it look more real, not gimicky. It should not have hatches leaving the screen right to your head or dinasaur spit flinging in your face. That said, it needs to be clean and not cause any discomfort. The glasses from Disney are comfortable and I forget I'm wearing them.

If the movie was made to be seen in 3D, you are not seeing it the way the film maker intended if you don't see it in 3D. Therefore you are not doing it or them justice.
