I predict that every movie will eventually be 3D, whether we want them 
to or not.

Personally, Avatar was the first 3D film I saw since Disneyland, and I 
wasn't impressed by the technology.  It wasn't any better for showing 
movies than watching them on a 2D screen.

Now, if you could walk around inside a 3D movie, /that/ would be cool - 
though it would defeat the point of /watching/ a movie :)
