10 Lessons We Took Home From The Movies In 2012

1. 3D Isn’t Dead Yet (And Probably Won’t Be For A While)

3D has a habit of going in and out of style on a whim, though it doesn’t look as though the latest incarnation of the nausea-induing craze is set to disappear just yet. Yes, 2012 saw the release of almost every large-scale blockbuster in the 3D format, a format which means you have to pay even more money to watch a movie, albeit a version that reduces the footage to a dark blur and will more than likely make your eyes hurt and your head ache.

Granted, some films have invested maximum time and effort into making sure the 3D effect is as clear and crisp as possible, but does it really ever do more than prompt you to acknowledge the fact that, wow, you’re watching a movie? Don’t forget, of course, that six classic blockbusters – including Monsters Inc. & Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace – were re-released in 3D this year, just ’cause. And that’s all the rationale you need when you’re a Hollywood executive.
