Movies of the future has already begun as more 3-D movies are being released year after year. What was first an attraction people are lucky enough to enjoy is now being developed into a norm for the up coming years in movie theaters.
Jeffrey Katzenburg, CEO of Dreamworks, said 3-D movies are "greatest innovation to occur in the movie business in 70 years." Many can agree with him that over the past century, the technology making motion picture films has advanced so quickly, it is almost an inconceivable.
In the future, 35mm film reels will ultimately disappear as computers take over motion picture showings of a more concise frames and images.
Currently in some theaters, audiences have experienced the newest glasses for 3-D movies. Unlike the 3-D glasses from the past, these new inventions by RealD look just like regular glasses, sleek and stylish. Michael Lewis, CEO of RealD says comparing old 3-D movies to the current innovation is like "comparing the space shuttle with the Wright brothers."
Technology will only advance and MG Siegler of "Venture Beat" believe 3-D glasses will not even be needed in 10 years to watch a 3-D film.
The future of movies and movie theaters will be taking over sooner than later. Say goodbye to the present "good old movies" and hello to an incredible experience.

I have to say that I'm all for 3D movies, despite the funny looking glasses. I went to see "Beowulf" on IMAX 3D and was pretty amazed at the quality of the image and its impact on the viewer. I also saw "Dark Knight" both on IMAX and at a regular theater, and you can't even compare how much IMAX adds to the movie...

Imagine seeing the "Saw" movies or George Romero's zombie classic "Night of the Living Dead" in 3D. Yikes! Or imagine a scene of a parachuter, jumping out of plane in 3D? Whoaaa.
And, yeah, IMAX 3D... I've never "experienced" it, Professor Reis. Did you walk out of the theatre kind of stumbling?!
With genuinely talented filmmakers, though, how they'll craft their shots in new ways -- being mindful of the effects of 3D on the audience -- could yield some really exciting, thought-provoking stuff.
But, then, how will I wear the 3D glasses over my regular specs? Great, that's all I need: 6 eyes instead of 4!

Misako, you make a good point when you point out that there are those who already wear glasses and probably don't want to wear another pair over it! I guess in situations like that, the cheap paper 3D glasses would be a bit more convenient in terms of the weight of the glasses.
Until glasses are no longer needed to watch 3D films, I guess those who already wear prescription glasses will have to work it out with these cool new 3D glasses. Someone should definitely come up with an alternative!
