One of the reasons is that they can charge more for a movie in 3-D then one in 2-D. I pay $2.00 more per ticket if I watch a movie in 3-D, then if I watch the same movie in 2-D. And it adds up. 60%...

Re: Moives that You Have Walked Out On

I don't walk out on movies. At least not recently, and movies I haven't seen before. Of course, I have a pretty good idea what I'll like and not like, so I'm careful about what I see.

Yes, and one need look no further then the genera of the war film to find it. And here are a baker's dozen of films that more or less prove my point.
