I don't know if the technology has taken a large step backwards or if they just don't know how to use it. The "Real D 3D" that they are pushing so hard right now on most films is terrible. I have not seen a film yet where anything has "popped" out of the screen. All it does is add a fuzzy depth that isn't all that deep looking.
The old films shot with the Arrivision "over and under" 3-D camera was killer. Friday The 13th Part 3 was fantastic in 3D. There is so much depth in that film it puts all these new ones to shame (My Bloody Valentine 3D possibly being an exception as far as newer films go). The "gags" where things come out of the screen actually look like they are going to hit you in the face. That's what I want and expect in 3D.
With the technology today I should be able to go see a movie where there is a scene where there is a Mist or Fog, it should look like it's drifting out of the screen and literally covering everyone in the theater all around me. I want Real 3D, not some fuzzy depth.
