“Now in 3-D!” is a phrase often associated with movies that hit theaters nowadays. Images popping out of the screen are supposed to add thrill and interactive experience for moviegoers.
But with the inflated ticket prices and goofy glasses that movie watchers wear to watch their favorite flick, is 3-D movies worth all the hype? When the ticket costs roughly $16 to $18 and with the struggling economy, spending the extra cash can be worrisome. Also for some 3-D can cause headaches and nausea. However, for others, it can be a calming escape from reality, leaving you happy and satisfied.
3-D movies can cause headaches and nausea. An article published this year in the Consumer Reports, says that about 15 percent of the movie-going audience, experience headaches and eyestrain during 3-D movies. Fifteen percent is a lot of people, and for $18 3-D movies are not worth the extra hassle.
“When I watch a 3-D movie it seems weird visually, says Jen Kelly a senior at Binghamton. “It strains my eyes sometimes, trying to focus on everything on the screen” If it was up to me I would make the movie companies hold off on 3-D movies until they have really perfected it”
3-D movies can also make people happy.
“I like 3-D movies because it’s different” says Liza Boucher, a senior at Binghamton University. “It’s funny to see things come off the screen. The ticket price is a bit steep but it’s worth it”
I Personally think 3-D movies are way too expensive. If you add popcorn and a soda you can be looking at spending about $26 per movie visit. As a college student and for anyone that has a budget to follow, spending like this can leave you broke.
3-D movies offer positives and negatives. They are fun for some people but cause headaches and nausea for others. Also with the inflated prices it can make a dent in your bank account. So in the end, it is up to you to decide if 3-D movies are for you!
