McAvoy 3D is a waste of time and money

James McAvoy has revealed that he is not a fan of 3D.

The Wanted actor spoke to Deadline about his views on the technology, confessing that he is relieved that his recent film X-Men: First Class was not shot in 3D.

"Thank God this movie [X-Men: First Class] is not in 3D, which is just an excuse to charge an extra ten bucks at the theatre," McAvoy said. "Then in the end, they're not 3D at all. The idea of things coming out of the screen and making you jump out your seat are done very well, but I think it's a waste of time and money and I wouldn't pay for a ticket to go to one of those films."

The 32-year-old continued: "I maintain you can't do a good conversion of a two-hour movie with high quality in a few weeks like they tried to do with Clash of the Titans."

X-Men: First Class producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently agreed with McAvoy, claiming that filmmakers chose not to shoot the movie in 3D due to overexposure of the technology.

Earlier this month, McAvoy expressed interest in shooting two more X-Men films, stating that he would love to reprise his role as Professor X.
