Ebert is batting .500 for me recently. This article is so dead on perfectly how I feel about 3d that it could basically have been ripped out of my head. I won't discuss his blighted abomination of an editorial regarding video games here, but it's odd to me that the same person wrote both, but I digress.
My negative feelings about avatar are in no small part because as soon as it came out this side effect was easy to foresee. 3d is a gimmick and a bad one at that. The number of non 3d films forced to become 3d reflect that fact and the sooner this shit goes away the happier I will be. I'm glad someone with the degree of clout in the film industry that ebert has was willing to say this so bluntly. Maybe someone will listen.
