But big epics and visual spectacles. This changes everything. Now everything has to be shot and presented like this, or it's a step backwards. I honestly can't even imagine being "taken away" by a 2D epic now.
I can't believe what they can do with this, and what they could have done with it. I can't even imagine some of the movies that could have been like this had the technology been there. I bet George Lucas is bullshit that the Star Wars prequels weren't this way. Same with Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson's films. Great special effects are/were one thing, but this is an all-new level of realism and awe.
Spielberg and everyone are going to make huge movies using this technology now. They'll probably find a way to re-master and re-release classics in it. How can they not shoot The Hobbit and the next Batman with this technology? If they don't they're crazy.

I would bet DVD sales/market might be a small reason since what would be the purpose of owning a DVD of a movie done in just 3D when most people are still using standard definition tvs and DVD players. Even if you only count HD tv users, the majority would still be missing out on the "theater" style of a 3D film since they can't replicate it in their house without spending a few more thousands of dollars.
