3-D?

Wasn't this one in 3-D?

The worst part of all those stupid 3-D movies from that era was....all the scenes were geared toward having things constantly flying straight at the camera (at you, the viewer).

Jaws 3-D was like this, along with countless others.
The only 3-D movie I've seen in which the effect itself wasn't constantly being shoved in your face as if to say: "See how cool our 3-D movie is, with all these things flying at you!" is Avatar.
With Avatar...the 3-D just helped the surroundings come to life, and enhanced the atmosphere.

The only thing worse than watching one of those dopey 3-D movies of the early 80's....was catching it on TV (where the 3-D effects were useless), and having all those scenes where things are needlessly flying right at the camera in slow motion.

I saw this one in the theater as a kid in 3D and I remember everyone screaming during all those parts. It was at a small theater and it seems like it was around 1987 though, so it makes me think it must have been a rerun. I bought a poster on the way out which I think was 3D too, that I kept all these years until recently when I gave it away to a friend.

That was the best thing about 3D movies! The way they use 3D in recent movies (well, five years ago, I guess) is boring.

Do they even use 3D in movies today? Last movie I saw in 3D was Titanic - they released it in 3D sometime around 2010.

Maybe I'm out of the loop but I haven't really heard of many new movies being released in 3D.
