To be fair, they said the same thing about sound in the 1920s and the same thing about CGI in the late 1970s...

3D has been around as long as film has (literally), so it is more than a gimmick. It's a constantly tested, often rejected, method of film making that requires a certain degree of technology before it is even possible to adequately view. For much of its history the technology simply did not exist, but now some of it is possible, and as the process becomes cheaper (which it will), the technology will fall into the hands of various auteurs who will completely revolutionize the medium.

As for the comment listed above, somebody needs to put this technology into the hands of Terrance Malik. He will create something amazing.

That being said, my 3D rant is now officially over .
