Once upon a time, movies were made with 35 mm film and digital film was just an idea for crazy people. If someone said movies would change to make you a part of it, they'd call you crazy.
However, in today's world, that's what we have. Movies are being completely digitized and are more available than they were ever before. In some ways, it is painful to the film industry because there are now new ways to watch movies through both legal means such as Netflix and Hulu and illegal means such as movie sharing websites for free online.
Despite the drawbacks, big movie companies are not only accepting of the change to digital movies, they are pushing for it! With this change to digital means to make movies, the film they use is more economical and it is not as easily damaged which leads to the film lasting longer times.
3D movies have now become an even larger phenomenon as movie companies have begun recreating their original works and bringing them back as a digital movie in 3D. There are countless examples including: The Lion King 3D, Titanic 3D, and the new Jurassic Park 3D. This process has proven to be a real goldmine.
Without a doubt, the change to digital movies is more of a positive for the movie industry than anything. While this has allowed people the opportunity to watch movies illegally, there is no way to recreate a 3D experience from your computer.
It's fascinating to realize that this change happened in nine years and we've come so far. It simply makes one wonder: what is next?
