Absolutely not. The only way to honestly answer the question is "does 3D enhance the movie experience?" referring to the latest 3d technology, and comparing the same movie in 2d and 3d.

Well said! With that in mind, I firmly feel that Monsters vs. Aliens took advantage of this prospect. I think it's the first brick being laid for future 3-D movies that are actually worth watching and are enhanced by 3-D. I felt so drawn into the movie. I loved feeling like I'm right there with the characters and getting a stronger feeling for the environment they're in. I found myself more invested in the movie. During some of the shots where you're looking up at the giant robot destroying everything gave me a greater sense of awe, urgency and space, just like what the main characters would have experienced. That's something that wouldn't be considered gimmicky, but something that enhanced the experience by drawing me into it more. This is the kind of 3-D that I applaud.
I think with 3-D being taken more seriously now, we're going to see more quality movies in this format. Then we'll stop thinking about why 3-D exists and then start thinking about how we ever lived without it.
When Up comes out from Disney/Pixar, that's gonna put it over the top I bet. Then, when we get Avatar, this tech will be cemented in Hollywood movie making.
