I'm not sure this is the same thing. Are you saying that 3D is as integral or has the same impact as sound? If you had to choose between sound and 3D, what would you choose?

For the record I agree with Ebert to a large degree. I can see the value of 3D with such films as Avatar and the plethora of computer-animated films they're producing.

But in terms of your standard drama, comedy, and even a lot of action films, I really don't see the appeal.
