I still have my doubts that 3D TV will be widely adopted, but for movies I can totally buy into it.

The real reason the movie industry made this huge jump into 3D and put the funding to advance the technology wasn't because of the 3D TV factor (which may wind up playing against them if it does take off), but because a 3D movie theatre experience with new technology is something that cannot currently be pirated / duplicated outside the theatre. Its a way to try and ensure more people actually buy the tickets to see this summers biggest movies vs download the torrents via the web.

As far as Imax stock soaring, have any of you gotten to see REAL Imax 3D yet? It's fucking breathtaking. Avatar- while shown in Imax 3D- was not shot using Imax 3D. When you compare the two the 3D effect of Avatar, while impressive, side by side with true Imax 3D is like watching a regular program on an HD channel vs watching something shot in HD on an HD channel.
