What was I thinking?CactusZack tells us: "I stopped dating a girl AFTER she got breast implants. For what reason I do not know, and I still kick myself for this." Tell us about inexplicable decisions that still haunt you.

Agreed!Although if it's not overplayed (no gee-whiz, look at that coming out at us) it can give a good sense of scale. It worked in Avatar, I thought, because of the nature of the huge landscapes and deep perspectives. But generally I agree, a pointless gimmick.
The same for HD: I never sit at home thinking "Hm, this would be so much better if the picture resolution was higher". In fact, if you're aware of the screen, it's clearly a shit film/program, because you haven't been absorbed.

Avatar is about the only film ever that's used 3D subtlyrather than flinging things at the screen in the cheapest manner imaginable, which is why it worked well.
If all films did the 3D effect that calmly, Mong Goose's comment above would be a bit like saying "when you watch a film in colour, it breaks that immersion by reminding you you are sat in a theatre watching a movie".
