LESS WHINING PLZ
I don't know... Porn is hard enough to watch on a 50 inch screen, I'd hate to see a 2 story wang coming at me... in 3D.
I hate calling eljuski a dumb idiot (wait no I LOVE that), but if anything, Avatar paved the way for subtle 3D in movies. Everyone's going to copy Avatar, and it had NO gotcha, Nav'i tongue flying at the screen, stupid jokes that would stand out like a sore thumb in 2D.
NOW It's a legitimate complaint that a bunch of 3D movies will DOUBLE the ticket price for a movie-goer to see the true vision of a flick.

Not every movie made afterwards was about boats last time James Cameron made a trillion dollars at the box office.

Titanic didn't feature and make most of its money from being a revolutionary new style or type of movie though.
Thats just called the MOVIE BUSINESS. Crappy movies will always be coming out regardless of 3D. Plus, the way I hear it, most of these flicks will be at your local theater in 3D and plain old normal vision so I wouldn't over stress about it.

Actually it kind of did. Check into how much money they spent on computer effects at that time. The cost and technology behind the film was trumpeted in the press quite a bit.

The technology is basically the only reason the movie exists and it's making boatloads of money and is getting tremendous critical praise. The use of 3D is not entirely revolutionary (see: almost every animated movie that came out last year) but the motion capture, live action, and 3D combined created a pretty formidable spectacle. At the very least, there will be plenty of theaters installing 3D digital projectors because of this. Is it a reinvention of cinema and what cinema is? I don't know, that remains to be seen, but theaters are going to be scrambling to upgrade to be able to feature this technology, and 3D live action films are definitely going to become more common, at least for a while.

Whose stressin'? I'm complaining on the internet!
Nice one.

You know what really sold me on the subtle 3D effect? It wasn't Avatar, actually... it was a preview of the (real-life) Hubble Space Telescope repair in 3D that was shown before the movie. The subtle, zero-G movements of two harness hooks that were, by happenstance, in the front of the frame started making me think about what actual artistic, symbolic, or narrative effects 3D could potentially have in movies.
EDIT: Also, I loved the strangely-angled shots of Sam Worthington's eye whenever he woke up. And I thought every shot of a crowd of people was made infinitely more engrossing by the use of 3D -- it made the size of the crowd seem that much more real. Of course, this is more the case during the actual live film shots than the CG scenes... for some reason the 3D wasn't nearly as engrossing in the CG scenes.
EDIT 2: I also really want to see a trombone shot (AKA a vertigo shot) done in 3D.

Would they remake the second two-thirds of the movie to be interesting or aerial to make it worth seeing?

I don't know. I just wanna see Angelina Jolie's lips in 3D
They might do that if that movie made like one dollar

Bah! It's only because it was only 2d that it did so poorly. Put that masterpiece in 3d and everyone will watch.
Will the 3D make Gwyneth Paltrow's acting better?

It can't make it worse, can it? Dear god . . .

She was the robot woman right? The one who appeared to be fully human but we all new was actually animatronic?
She was fine in se7en, Shakespeare in Love, and Iron Man.

Neither did Avatar. Last I checked "originality" wasn't on the + side of the register for this movie. As far as 3-D goes, why do people keep saying that? This isn't the first 3-D movie.
I LOVE Sky Captain. It's a favorite of mine for sure but she was painful in that movie. I don't usually care for her, she was tolerable in Iron Man but I wouldn't be upset if she gets accidently sucked into a jet engine and her twin sister "Sexxxier Peppier Pots" has to step in to help Tony Stark out.

And CGI existed before Toy Story, but that doesn't change the fact that it broke ground for CGI being an accepted part of mainstream cinema.
