<p>Michael Atkinson <a href="http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/13173/i_cyclops_monocularity_in_a_3_d_world" target="_self">rants</a> against a world in which six of the top 10 highest-grossing films in 2011 were released in 3-D:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am probably America’s only monocular film critic – meaning 3-D films (along with binoculars and View-Masters) have never worked for me. I was born 90-percent cross-eyed and now have – thanks to a series of eye operations beginning when I was 18-months-old – perfect vision in one eye and negligible vision in the other. The two eyes do not synch up to produce a single 3-D image. So I am coming out of the closet to take a stand for the roughly 700 million humans like me – one out of every 10 people, it’s estimated – who cannot physically process 3-D cinema. That’s many more times the percentage of people who need wheelchair ramps to access a movie theater, which all theaters are legally bound to provide.</p>
