If you’re looking for some interesting reading during this Twixmas break, I recommend you head over to our friends at the 3-D Film Archive and check out this brilliantly researched post by Jack Theakston: ‘What Killed 3D Films?’.
This year saw the 3-D Film Archive celebrate 10 years since its inaugural 3-D Blu-ray release of ‘Dragonfly Squadron’. In the decade that followed, their small team have produced one critically acclaimed restoration after another. Please make sure to visit their website to see all their fantastic projects, as well as the history of 3-D films.
And going off on a random personal tangent, if you ever get flight delays at an airport in deepest Kansas, the 3-D Film Archive team are the best folks to be stuck with!

Although I dont agree with Mr. Murch Here, I thought the community should hear what he has to say:

It’s always interesting to hear how individuals perceive stereoscopic depth, but I wish the 3-D grumps would get themselves tested for binocular dysfunction, strabismus, etc., before they generalise about how everyone else percieves stereoscopic depth, a normal function of human vision. Maybe at least point out which film/photograph they arrived at their conclusion with, and how many of the other audience members they spoke to before they decided that everyone gets a headache after 20 minutes. I think it’s fair, however, to say that you can’t expect every single film to work well in 3-D.
If all they’ve seen is ‘Comin’ at Ya!’, or a couple of fast-paced action 3-D films then they need to expand their horizons before forming a set opinion and telling everyone else how they’re supposed to feel, but there’s no nuance in his statements, despite declaring himself an expert. My (probably controversial) opinion also includes Jonathan Crary with his ‘cardboard cutouts’ in images 😉
