It's the first time I've seen a modern digital 3D film in theaters, so maybe it's been like this for a while, but I've tried two "3D" DVD's with those shitty glasses and they were totally distractingly shitty, and compared to the new version, unwatchable now. I kept the glassing hoping the Blu-Ray will use the same technology, but I don't know -- new 3D HDTV's are due out this year, so I hope I won't have to wait a decade (since I just bought my first one recently) before enjoying such quality at home....


I like how you talk more about the technology than the movie.
