Only half? -_-
I've only seen a few movies that were actually filmed in 3D. Even Gravity was filmed in 2D.
The problem is that actually filming in 3D requires using different (and expensive) hardware, and different creative direction all across the board. You can't just upgrade to a 3D camera and call it a day. Not many studios will put in that kind of effort for something that is not proven in the market. And not many filmmakers are actually skilled at working in 3D, simply due to lack of direct experience.
I saw the Hobbit movies in high framerate 3D in the theater, and while they were not good movies, they looked absolutely amazing because they were committed 100% to the format from start to finish — not just with the hardware, but with the lighting, makeup, set design, everything. It's a shame the movies sucked, and it's a shame that there has never been a way to watch them in HFR 3D outside of select theaters.
