The New York Times has an article on the upcoming “Monsters vs. Aliens” movie from Dreamworks Animation, which is entirely 3D.   It covers alot of the features and pitfalls of the technology.

She said the lingering camera shots in that film taught her that a 3-D movie could not cut as quickly from image to image for reasons of eye strain. “It’s so visually rich that you need to account for people wanting to stare at the screen and move their eyes around the frame,” she said.

In particular, his discusses how 3D films are more difficult to Pirate, as camcorders can’t capture the 3D effect.  He also discusses how the technology can very easily be misused to “make the audience hurl”, and from the article:

“I’m pretty sure that no business can succeed in which it makes the customer hurl,”
