squiggleslash, have you been to a RealD 3D movie? I have found them to be very well done, with the 3D being far superior to the Imax 3d shown previously with film. The precision of the digital projectors pretty much solved the 3D problems, in my opinion.
Coraline in 3D was simply amazing, both due to the projector technology, and the stop-motion animation.
I haven't seen a RealD live action film yet, all have been animations.
And the glasses are polarized, not red-blue, and not very dark at all. The brightness was adequate.
OK, so they may or may not have fixed the size ratio issue. But that still leaves all the other issues with 3D, most notably the vision impairing uncomfortable glasses.
And what's the payback for the rather high price of 3D? A gimmick that barely adds anything at all to the viewing experience even if properly done.
3D is an awful idea. It's unnecessary and makes the movie watching experience objectively less pleasant. I can't understand why everyone's in a headlong rush to get it going.
