All the movies above are Hollywood Productions, this evidently tells us that UK can't afford a 3D film but also their films wouldn't suit 3D effects. Some people believe 3D is a waste of money as many producers aren't thinking about quality but more about quantity. They think about the money it will bring in rather than the audiences consumption. Famous American critic and screenwriter said 3d is 'A waste of a perfectly good dimension'. The money comes in from the higher priced tickets the audience pays. This is why I think it's just a fad as less people will be willing to pay more for a 3D film when they can get the same effect from watching a 2D film. Cole Abaius from ww.filmschoolrejects.com said 'filmmakers are rushing to gimmick-up their movies'.
