While I undersand that 3D is a lot easier to say than "stereoscopic", I don't think any 3D movies warrant being called any more three dimensional than this sort of thing. IMHO, it's not 3D until I can move around and see different things (in each eye), i.e. until the medium understands itself in 3D space and reflects accordingly on my eyes.

it is widely accepted that 3D in context of movies and games is "stereoscopic", meaning you have a perception of depth. I believe the perception of depth gives a very different experience, personally I was stunned when I saw 3D movies for first time, since you really feel like you are present in the scene. Looking around and seeing different things is already implemented in 99% of games, since the camera is controlled by the player.

Yeah, I know it's widely accepted (I grew up being bombarded with Spy Kids 3D Volume 72 advertising throughout my whole childhood). I'm just of the opinion that it doesn't leave much room for consumer understanding of advances in 3D technology by dominating the terminology.
