Every Thursday through Saturday we run a poll over on our twitter page (@themoviewaffler). This week's question was 'If a movie is playing in both 3D and 2D, which version do you opt for?'. Here are the results:
Makes no difference (6%)
Unsurprisingly, it's a very small minority of you who are indifferent when it comes to this issue.
3D (16%)
16% of you are devotees of the third dimension and will always opt to wear the specs if given the chance.
2D (78%)
A whopping 78% of you won't buy cinema passes if it means wearing glasses. It's no surprise really, but it seems we're stuck with light loss. With three more Avatar sequels in production, don't expect 3D to die out any time soon.
Be sure to follow us on twitter (@themoviewaffler) to ensure you don't miss out on any future polls.
@themoviewaffler 2D. Much dabbling and experimenting has led me to this conclusion. If a film needs 3D to add value, it’s already flawed.— Anton Bitel (@AntBit) February 6, 2016
@themoviewaffler My Bloody Valentine, Avatar and Hugo were fun 3D experiences. All others I've done have been rubbish.— Jim Drew (@ji_doctor) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler 2D. Always will be. I hate gimmicks like 3D. It makes the movie less immersive. Takes away from the work put onscreen.— James Ferguson (@LucioFulciFan) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler Depends on the filmmakers' intentions. If it's filmed in 3D, then 3D hands down.— David Walters (@dvideostor) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler 2D, 3D is a waste of time and money and simply gimmicky— Metal Loud (@MetalLoud) February 4, 2016
.@themoviewaffler 2D. Always. Watching a movie in 3D is like eating a steak with an Imaginarium robot claw. Supererogatory.— Paying For Movies (@payingformovies) February 6, 2016
@themoviewaffler 2D by choice: 3D simply isn’t impressive enough/too dark to justify the premium— MacDara Conroy (@MacDara) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler The only 3d movie I've sought out specifically was Pina 3D. Otherwise I can't really be bothered with it— Seamus (@smsbrk) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler I do love a 3D movie don't know why, would pick 3D over 2D for a film— Richard (@RichardMovieFan) February 6, 2016
@themoviewaffler 3D if it's actually filmed in 3D. If it's a conversion, then 2D. Always 3D for CG features.— Charlie Schwartz (@soup19) February 6, 2016
@themoviewaffler usually 2D, but occasionally 3D if the film looks like it will utilize it in a fun way— Justin (@THE_ILL_PHANTOM) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler 2D always unless it's something that absolutely demands 3D like The Walk or Gravity.— David Kuhne (@D_Khunne) February 4, 2016
@themoviewaffler 3D, is better, but only with certain Films. Horror & SCI FI Works Best, Action Films, Not So Much.— HorrorFanRick (@rickbenford1) February 4, 2016
