Have you seen a 3D movie yet?

I don't know know about you, but I am sort of morally apposed to them and have yet to shell out $8 just to be dissapointed. Everything about 3D is so forced and obvious. It's like ooo lets throw some stuff at the screen, then wait look over there *as arm goes into screen*. It seems to blatently obvious, it just seems like it would ruin the movie.
 
 I guess I bring this up because apparently the new Resident Evil: Afterlife movie is to be shot entirely in 3D. Now I know the movies aren't spectacular by any stretch of the imagination, but I always found them to be at least entertaining, and well, I like the franchise. So now that the new one is 3D is sort of turns me off. How about you? Are any that you've seen as of lately any good?

Hell, I haven't seen a movie at the theater since The Dark Night. 3D is way out of my realm.

I thought UP Was very nice in 3D, other than that I kind of agree.  
 
 
 
ALSO: 700 POSTS!!

I don't want to have to wear plastic glasses to enjoy a film.

I've seen a few, I thought Beowulf and Coraline were decent in 3D.

I saw Up in 3D, which only used the effect in subtle ways (save for a few action scenes).
 
I just think it's going to take some time before directors learn how to use the technology as something more than a gimmick.  I'm excited to see how James Cameron uses it in Avatar, and how Tim Burton will use it in Alice in Wonderland.

The last 3D movie I saw was Honey I Shrunk the Audience at Disneyworld.

no, i've never seen a movie in 3D before. i've seen things in 3D but never an actual movie.

3d is okay but yeh getting to obvious now a days... oh no glass shooting at us... i mean come on...

I have seen all the 3D stuff at Disneyworld, also Beowulf, Nightmare Before Christmas 3D and Coraline. 
 
I love it. What I found irritating, though, is that apparently some theatres still use shutter glasses, and these suck. Beowulf and Nightmabre Before Christmas was perfect 3D with very pleasant, light glasses and I went to see Coraline expecting the same, but we got heavy shutter glasses which were both uncomfortable AND ruined the effect as it just doesn't work with quick movements.

I saw Beowulf in 3D, that was pretty awesome. I'd like to see Toy Story in 3D soon.

I saw My Bloody Valentine 3D and The Final Destination. The first was amazing, the latter was ridiculously tame but I'm still undecided on the topic because while I think 3D is pointless, I am still really looking forward to Avatar and all the PIXAR stuff coming out on this side of the Atlantic soon.

Up in 3-d. unfortunate, because it kinda marred the beauty of it and it seemed a heckuva lot choppier then it actually was.

As some people have pointed out, there's different ways that 3D is being used right now:
 
1. the traditional, in-your-face, here comes an explosion so let's throw a bunch of shit in your face, way (My bloody valentine, the final destination)
 
and
 
2. The way they use it with modern CGI movies. Up in 3D, Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D, Coraline (although originally made with figures and 3D was later tackked on) all used the 3D in a really tasteful manner. The effect, when done right, is one that mimics a hologram being shown on screen at all times. Up was a prime example of this. Watching it in 3D is essentially equivalent with watching a movie in hologram mode.

Reading this thread has made me think it's only a matter of time until we see games in 3D.

I've seen a Santa Claus 3D movie 5 years ago, it wasnt really good.

I saw the Final Destination in 3d, that was pretty good. I think 3D is just a gimmick to get you to pay more and to stop people videoing it on a handycam.

"I think 3D is just a gimmick to get you to pay more and to stop people videoing it on a handycam. "

i have NEVER seen a 3D movie with the glasses.. came real close to it at Disney Land in Paris but we got out before the movie started

" I've seen a few, I thought Beowulf and Coraline were decent in 3D. "

I've seen Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 3D and I kinda liked it. This technology might have some potential if used well.

It depends on what type of 3d is being used. I like the newer 3d if it is done right. It looks great. The old red and blue glasses thing sucks.

" I thought UP Was very nice in 3D... "

I saw The Final Destination 3D a couple weeks ago. 
 
That's not a good movie.

yep - Coraline & Up

I'm not at all interested in 3D. Maybe it's much better now than in the early-mid 90's when I last saw anything in 3D, but unless they manage true 3D a la Star Trek holodeck I'm fine with 2D.

I've seen a couple (well 4 actually) 
They looked good, but they weren't good movies.

I never saw a 3D movie. I will someday when it willl be done properly.

Why whats comeing out @HandsomeDead:

I have seen Beowulf and Up in 3D.  Those are the only ones.

Not counting Captain EO at EPCOT in the mid 80s, the last 3D movie I saw in theaters was Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone starring Peter Strauss, and very young Molly Ringwald, Ernie Hudson and (Sam Fisher?!) Michael Ironside.  That was in 1983!  I haven't seen one since (except for EO).

I can barely see out of my left eye so it's impossible for me to get the 3D effect, so nope. Hopefully it doesn't ever become required for a movie to have 3D, or else I'm screwed.

" Yes, and its retarded(sorry), dont really see the benifit of having 3D other then the movie looking like shit(no I'm not talking about the red and blue glasses 3D but the new type of 3D, still looks like shit)
 
Also
@Claude: Whats "Batman The Dark Night"? its just "The Dark Knight" Yes, I had to point that out since I'm a dick. "

" I thought UP Was very nice in 3D, other than that I kind of agree.     ALSO: 700 POSTS!! "

I generally don't like 3D movies, since they're pretty gimmicky, but UP's 3D was very subtle and good looking.  Also, you'd be missing half the movie if you saw Avatar in 2D when it comes out, seeing as the entire movie was built with 3D in mind.

not a big fan of 3D to be honest. I just want to see the movie.

" @The_Dude said:

" I've seen a few, I thought Beowulf and Coraline were decent in 3D. "

Yeah, I thought Coraline was good. That's actually the only movie I've seen in 3D. "

Yeah I saw Up and Beowulf in 3D. They both looked pretty good. But I also saw Spy Kids 3D. That was not only a horrible looking movie but one of the worst things I have ever laid my eyes upon.

Spy Kids 3D: Game Over. It was a pain in my eye. Completely worthless.
