3D movies don't impress me

I almost think it's the opposite, that even in a 3D movie after a while you usually are seeing it the same as 2D. Most of the time when I am watching a 3D movie I forget it's in 3D shortly after it starts.

I remember seeing Avatar in 3D to see what all the fuss was about, and there were a few times where they did a cool effect with it - but even that was just a novelty.
