What watch a movie 2-D when you can watch it in 3-D?

We were watching some movie trailers last week-end. One of the 3-D movies also mentioned that it was available in 2-D.

I am surprised that there is still a market for movies in 2-D when people have the option for a tiny sum of money to watch it in 3-D. Of course, this market survives therefore it must be efficient and somebody must like watching 2-D movies over the 3-D movie option.

Is also the case that there is considerable difference in the quality of 3-D movies. There must be trade secrets. For example, Peter Jackson’s films in 3-D are excellent. Some 3-D movies sometimes look like they are in 2-D all to frequently. I saw one trailer for a 3-D movie that looked like it was just 2-D with beer goggles on.

I uninstalled Windows 10, only difference was some programs would not work. Was not faster

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
