'Top Gun' to be Released in IMAX 3D

According to IMDB, Paramount Pictures' 1986 classic "Top Gun", is to be released in select IMAX 3D theaters beginning February 8th and it will go until February 14th. The story of an elite group of fighter pilots competing to be the best in their class stars Tom Cruise as "Maverick", and Val Kilmer as "Iceman". Tony Scott, who recently committed suicide in August of last year, directed the film and Jerry Bruckheimer also produced it. Along with the IMAX 3D release, "Top Gun" will also be released on a 2-disc Blu-ray set, one disc with the 3D version of the film, the other disc with the 2D version, on February 19th. "Top Gun" captured the imagination of a generation and earned worldwide box office sales of over $350 million upon its release.

I'm sure a lot of nostalgic adults will want to go see this movie, but this is one IMAX release that I am going to take a pass on. The big thing in Hollywood lately is to release classic films in theaters for a short period of time in 3D. Movies like "Finding Nemo", Monsters Inc.", and the "Star Wars" trilogy have all been re-released in theaters in 3D. I personally HATE 3D. I find the glasses annoying to wear, the 3D imagery is was too distracting during the movie, and I do not want to pay an extra $3 on top of an already expensive movie ticket. I've seen "Top Gun" before and I think it is an excellent movie, but I do not want to pay $16 just to see Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer jump out of the screen at me. I wish Hollywood would jump off the 3D bandwagon and just release movies in regular old 2D. Don't fix something that isn' broken.

What do you guys think of 3D movies? Do you think you'll go see "Top Gun" in IMAX? Let me know in the comments below!
