3D Super Bowl Ads disappointing, next Chance Chuck
The excitement and hunt for the 3D Super Bowl glasses to watch the first 3D Super Bowl ads was huge. Now that the Super Bowl 43 is over the 3D ads are not the most talked about commercials. The verdict around the web so far is that the 3D effect of Monsters vs. Aliens and the 3D SoBe ad was too weak.
The expectations have been to high I guess. As highlighted in our 3D Home theater report, the glasses are just a tease for currently available 3D technology at home and in cinemas.
There is better 3D technology for the living room already on the market with shutter glasses and of course the 3D experience in digital cinemas is way superior.
Still if the tease with the 3D Super Bowl glasses is not generating more interest in 3D, then we again do not get 3D content from the studios.
I think the real test of these new ColorCode 3D glasses is tonight when the full episode of Chuck airs.
