Comm 203: 3-D

I have to say that I do agree with what the author is telling us here. They are basically saying that the experience of 3-D is really not that "big of a deal" when you're seeing a movie. The basic point here is that even if it is in 3-D, it still does not change the movie. The movie is going to be the same movie not matter if it is in 3-D or not. People who say that it gives them a sense of actually being there probably just mean that it gives them a different feel. But the truth is, it is not really that mind-blowing when you think about it. 3-D is only merely effects added to the experience of the movie but does not change the movie itself because it is still the same exact movie. The experience cannot make you feel like you're really there if you are not there because it will never be the same representation of the way we truly see things in real life. Three-dimensional movie-seeing experiences only have to do with the experience of seeing the movie itself, but in the end the movie does not change whether it's in 3-D or not. The movie theatres like to over-price these things just like their popcorn and soda because they know that people want to make the EXPERIENCE more fun an exciting. But nonetheless, the movie is still the same movie and it does not change the experience of real life.
