I also never saw promos for Avatar exclaiming "In Amazing 3D". I guess I missed it when they used 1950 style tag lines to promote the movie.
How many movies came out in 3D last year? in 2008? Now how many have already come out since Avatar? How many on the schedule. A hell of a lot more. And most of them were shot in traditional format and then 3D added in post production. You cant really be arguing Avatar's influence in this are you?
The quote from Spielberg after seeing a screening in December:
"the most evocative and amazing science-fiction movie since 'Star Wars.'"

They didn't push the 3-D angle with Avatar, but every movie since they have. Every movie commercial you see now is "in 3-D!" and I have yet to hear one person tell me that Alice in Wonderland was much better in 3-D.
I haven't seen Avatar yet, in 3-D or not, so I can't fully judge... but the idea of 3-D really doesn't impress me all that much. I think it's a gimmick as well. Right now it might be hot, but the practicality of people getting together and sitting down on the couch watching TV with their friends and 10 pairs of $150 glasses just doesn't work. In the movie theaters? Sure, maybe for a while.
