I honestly couldn't think of another thread title that simply expressed my sentiments. I've watched quite a few titles now since upgrading to a 3D projector almost a year ago and whilst most animated features do look great with a greater sense of depth, I'm afraid that I just don't get that much more when watching normal blockbuster feature films, compared to watching in 2D. It really does feel like a gimmick and especially actors just appear like odd cardboard cutouts. Occasionally there are scenes where depth is captured quite nicely but I honestly expected the whole "pop into your face 3D", the sort that you experience in shows in theme parks going back since the 80's. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Imax 3D where I believe the technology is best displayed and this is re-iterated by friends who have. At home it simply doesn't enhance my viewing pleasure at all except for animated features where there is more of a fun element and the gimmick does tend to work.
I would be interested in your opinions. But for me, I'm ready to throw in the towel on this. The current home technology is simply not worth it in my humble opinion.

There are a few titles which I've seen now that really do look impressive... so I'm beginning to appreciate it more. One thing I still don't like that much is the slight flickering of the active glasses which gives me slight viewing fatigue.
I changed my mind here: Non-animated 3D blu-ray is pants - please discuss. | Page 2 | AVForums
