In depth - The good old movie theater is ready for a big step into the future. We haven’t seen dramatic innovations in years and even if high-definition is on its way and some believe that theaters can be transformed into classy dining places, people always have been attracted to a special movie experience they can’t get at home. TG Daily recently met with Dolby to find out how the much anticipated transition to 3D is coming along – and found that this technology has all the potential to keep movie theaters from becoming entertainment dinosaurs nobody will remember.

I like the idea of 3D movies, and I think 3 technologies out there, but from my experience I am not a fan of 3D right now.  It isn't quite crisp enough.  Also, as someone that wears glasses, I found watching 3D to be uncomfortable and hard to maintain focus on the movie.  Ended with an ok movie experience and sore eyes.

Yes, my feeling is that all new big budget films will be available in 3D within a year or two.  Imax is also going to be huge (no pun intended!).

Both in an attempt to get people to leave their home theaters and venture out to the theaters.  It works especially well with computer animated films, which are becoming more common.
