It's a damn gimmick and it's not new.
My question is not if this thing will keep you away from the story, it's what does it add to it? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
James Cameron noted in one of his interviews for Avatar that although there's some hi-tech on set, but they're still focusing on story and character.
As for TV3D: Sitting in a living room, already alienated and overweight, wearing a ridiculous pair of glasses staring on a TV is perhaps the dumbest thing i can think of.

The thing that bothers me about most forms of 3-D right right now is that for people like me who wear eyeglasses for distance, none of the 3-D glasses work (unless they can make big goggles that fit over one's eyeglasses). If you try placing the 3-D glasses over your own eyeglasses, they don't fit and the 3-D effect is out of focus. If you try placing the 3-D glasses under your own eyeglasses, they hurt like heck.
When they perfect 3-D without the need for special glasses of any kind, I'll probably buy into it.

I don't think most multiplex theaters are using the fancier glasses, though. And mostly I'm concerned about home use. Steve mentioned in another thread that maybe home viewers could make a one-time purchase of better glasses, and that might work.

As far as 3D in the home, I believe any of the 120 hz HDtvs would be fast enough in order reproduce the speed necessary for the polarized glasses to work, but it will be a long time before every TV out there is capable so I don't see it catching on at home.
