This weekend the adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's high school English classic novel "The Great Gatzby" in 3-D is set to be released. A lot of movies have been coming out in 3-D for the last five years or so. This trend no doubt has much to do with the premium ticket price required to view a movie in three dimensions. Admittedly, I pay to see a lot of these movies, and to be honest, most movies which come out in 3-D are just as good in the traditional two dimensions. It could be argued that when a movie with little or no reason to be in 3-D, such as the impending "The Great Gatzby" is just a cynical ploy by Hollywood to make as much money as they can off of the moviegoing public. In my opinion, only movies with a lot of action, chases or explosions are worth paying the premium cost for the alleged privilege of three dimensions. More often than not, it isn't worth the extra cost. I haven't decided yet whether I will see "Gatzby" in a movie theater, but if I do I certainly won't pay to see it in 3-D.
