Good point. 3D film wasn’t new by any means. I remember doing some of those 3D movies (or actually ’4D’ movie ‘rides’) at Disneyworld, as late as the early 2000’s that we’re still using the older ‘red/ blue’ lenses.
Avatar however, took us to a whole new level. The modern CGI, along with the incredible amount of effort that went into planning out the cinematography to integrate with the 3D, is truly unmatched.
Many big ‘Blockbuster’ still have 3D versions, but it’s so clearly just something they add on after the fact, and they weren’t designed with that in mind. Very forgettable.
