    I bought a 3D TV and liked watching movies on it. Agree that being shot in 3D is better, but anything released in 3D in theaters was good enough.

    I don’t know why they died. Too bad. Did streaming kill 3D perhaps?

      movies are inherently passive entertainment and the friction of needing glasses for everyone watching was probably enough to kill it for the average user. I think some people got headaches from the effect too and you couldn’t really have some people watching without glasses at the same time.

      The glorified pop-up books killed 3D. That’s most of what people saw, so that was their perception of it.
