3D Destined to Fail, Yet Again

"I received a letter that ends, as far as I am concerned, the discussion about 3D. It doesn't work with our brains and it never will. The notion that we are asked to pay a premium to witness an inferior and inherently brain-confusing image is outrageous. The case is closed."
I've got to agree. I see 3D as nothing more than a novelty and fad that will die off just as it has during its past iterations. Unless you are dealing with interactive media (like gaming) the attempt at immersion serves as more of a distraction than as an enhancement to a quality story. And anyway, we all know that 3D is a poor substitute for holograms and a holodeck. ;)
