My 3D Conversion

I always argue my points vigorously and some have seen it to suggest that I am too subjective in this regard.......the following is as much a surprise to me as any of them....
In previous 2D vs. 3D arguments, I have firmly stated a disgust for what I considered a gimmick in 3D...had said that I would see 'Prometheus' in all screen versions, (2D, 3D, and IMAX), but was firm in my preference to see the film in 2D first....
This weekend I set forth to remedy a situation...until friday night I had not managed to see a 'Prometheus' trailer on the big screen and it was, frankly, driving me absolutely, positively, posilutely nuts...I'd tried with the teaser in December with 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and was snubbed.....Friday, I chose to see 'Wrath of the Titans' in 3D, despite that I didn't really care to see it, just because I KNEW, for some reason, that I'd see the trailer I wished to see and in 3D.......today, Sunday, I felt like going to the movies again....regrettably, I chose to see 'Lockout'...but anyhoo, I saw that same trailer in 2D.
And I have to say.....the difference was STAGGERING......I never thought I'd find myself advocating to see this film in 3D.....I mean, the 3D experience was entirely energetic, emersive and enthralling...the 2D, pathetically underwhelming...I'm still in shock at the difference and I hate 3D.....HATE it....so what know?....I believe I have to rethink my approach and give this a chance in 3D first, because, frankly, one experienced moved me, despite having seen the trailer countless times already, in a way that only truly brilliant films have....the other, and I'm terribly sad to say it was the 2D, did not.....beyond all that, I have nothing else to say, but that I am now eating my words with Worcestershire sauce, some Fava beans and a nice Chianti.....[i]leuvf leuvf leuvf leuvf leuvf[/i] :)
