I'd be watching all my shit in 3D...
If they actually sold 3D TV's that used the polar glasses and streaming services streamed 3D movies.
People say they were a gimmick, but a basic polarized TV's for a reasonable price were never a thing.
It was a gimmick. Half the movies released in 3D during the last wave were poorly done conversions not even shot for 3D.
It's always fun to watch some cheesy action or horror movie from when 3d was being pushed super hard. All of a sudden there's a scene where things are being flung at the camera for no apparent reason and you say, oh yeah, this was supposed to be 3d.
Yeah, that's not quite the "shot for 3D" I was talking about. Those are the worst 3D films that don't even hide that it's a gimmick.
I don't know if they're shot in 3D, but I enjoy the nature and science movies shown at my local planetarium. There's nothing gimmicky about them, just subtle depth.
I think that's a different beast.
