　　3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back in 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first mustsee movie in 3D.

　　But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In_2010,_several_3D_movies_bombed_at_the_box_office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and colour became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we're going through the same process with 3D.

　　Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D.Also, a recent study at California State University finds audiences don't actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D.Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.

　　But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D.And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2016 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron's Titanic 3D made even more.
