I love the idea of 3D, especially for sports, but in all of the 3D hype, Hollywood and entertainment corporations want us to forget the sobering truth that mediocre music, television, and movies are still going to be mediocre even if they are in 3D.

Avatar is a good movie, a very good one, but its groundbreaking visuals do not compensate for a sub-par script, a trite and overdone storyline, cliched themes, and lifeless characters. There is no way that Avatar is anywhere near the masterpieces that Cameron’s Aliens and Terminator II are. I am worried about 3D. Filmmakers like Michael Bay are already complacent enough. Giving them a new gimmick (3D) to sell their movies could lead to disastrous results when Hollywood pumps out endless tripe in 3D, ignoring the basic tenets of a good film, such as…story, characters, and dialogue. You think Transformers 2 is bad? Wait until you see Transformers 3 in 3D! But at least it will look amazing and new…until 3D no longer satiates your senses.

Great films in low-resolution, VHS quality are still great. 3D could enhance the experience of watching them, but please, focus on the actual content first, not the technology.
