wired.com — Every few years you’ve probably watched a mainstream movie through a pair of glasses that make creatures, people and explosions pop out of the screen. And if you’ve bought into the massive hype, you were probably lining up this past weekend for James Cameron’s Avatar, which is screening in 3-D.

That Dolby system is HORRIBLE. We went to a very nice Archlight theater to see a 3D movie, and I was a little shocked to be handed some big, bulky 3D goggles. Most other theaters around here have the RealD (Circular polarized) system, where you get what look like a thin pair of cheap sunglasses.

I'm not really arguing that 3d doesn't suck (because that's more of an opinion), but those issues you mentioned aren't the biggest issues with 3d--and the technology definitely has changed in the past two decades.Digital projection has completely changed 3d. You have a brighter projection and each frame is able to be projected for a longer period of time (since you don't have to advance the film), you also don't have dust or hairs that only show up in one eye, and most importantly both eyes stay in sync (sync issues cause major headaches).Newer 3d projection technologies like read D and dolby offer a higher quality experience (compared to linear polarization where you get ghosting when you tilt your head).
