No doubt. I also agree that 3D in films should go bye bye except for HFR 3D which is basically 60 Frames per second. If you've seen it, it is pretty good. You don't get that jitter affect of regular 24 Frame film or the headache of standard 3D. It's pretty sweet.

Most studios don't do it because you are more than doubling your editing and filming costs.

4K is just the digital version of the true resolution of 35MM film which is shot in 2.35 to 1 (widescreen) instead of 16x9 (HD). 4K takes up double the space of HD which is 2k so studios mostly don't see the need and bandwidth wise for TV is just too costly to download. What ends up happening is that they compress more and that screws things up anyway. Also even blue ray would have trouble compressing to 4k.

For film, all digital theaters use Hard Drives for digital transfer and 4k means bigger hard drive which means greater cost. Because 2k still looks really good I don't see anyone going to 4k anytime soon.
