Unfortunately they are hardly making stereoscopic movies anymore. Maybe they come back with VR though (doubt it).

- PaulHoule 3y agoStereoscopic movies have some fundamental problems. I think about 20% of people have impaired stereo perception and don’t really get anything out of them. That’s not so bad, but maybe 8% or so of people are made uncomfortable by stereo movies. The consequence of that is that movies can’t go 100% to stereo. So they are left with the strategy of showing the movie in two theaters and charging a few $ more for the stereo version which (1) alienates consumers who think it’s just a greedy “money grab” but (2) would usually cost money instead of make money because of the expense of having more showings that will be less well attended except in the case of the absolutely largest movies that can support a large number of showings.
- cubefox 3y agoI somewhat doubt one can really get uncomfortable by stereo movies. The real world is in stereo after all. That's like becoming uncomfortable from watching a color movie. The reason they show two versions of a movie seems to me more likely for the opportunity to charge more for people who care about 3D, and less for people who don't want to spend too much.
