1. 3D
Yes, it's that one technological "advancement" that everyone whines about, but that's just because it's been forced down our throats so giddily over the last 5 years. 3D is
not the future of cinema; it is at best a gimmick that is occasionally implemented to immersive effect, but is largely a way for studios to grab more money from audience's pockets without often really delivering a worthy service in return. Though Avatar is almost unanimously cited as the best 3D film to date - and having seen it in the IMAX, I must agree - films such as Clash of the Titans have merely leapt on the 3D gimmick as an effort to bump their box office grosses. Indeed, Titans was rushed into tacky 3D-post conversion, and the result was a near-invisible 3D experience that too often looked the same whether you were wearing the glasses or slipped them off. It is a gimmick that will eventually have had its day, and the sooner it does, I feel the better. Which technological "advancement" annoys you the most? Let us know in the comments below.
