Alice and Wonderland 3D revolution

Is it just me or is 3D taking over. 3D movies have been around for a really long time. Wiki states that the first 3D films were actually created in the 1890s. They were those little picture machines that took advantage of your depth perception.

Right around the 1950′s things started to get a little better when the movie industry invented those Red and Blue glasses to take advantage of the way your mind combines two offset images.

Most recently AVATAR made the 3D movie experience widely accepted at modern theaters. Now it seems every movie this year is in 3D. From Clash of the Titans to Iron Man.

We went to see Alice in Wonderland last night. It was ok but I think that the 3D kind of took away some of the movie magic. There were times in the movie that seemed to drag. Or the addition of two riding monsters from one place to another in 3D that were annoying.

Some movies really do work well with 3D and some do not. I hope that Hollywood embraces 3D but leaves it out of movies that do not need it.

I think what I would really like to see next is 3D video gaming.
