Well, it didn't "put me in the movie" any more than any other movie. I didn't watch the 3D version and didn't wear any cardboard glasses. That makes it a gimmick in my view. Nor is 3D "new technology". Show me a 3D movie I can watch and get the full experience from without needing CrackerJack box glasses and I'll start coming around.

If someone told me there was a "game changing" book out there, but you have to read it with special glasses, I would probably ignore that too. It doesn't "change" any of the game for me. It just requires more effort and "equipment" and probably sacrificed quality for a gimmick.
