As CES this year, I had a chance to see the trailer for Dreamwork’s upcoming film Monsters vs. Aliens … in 3D. You see, everything at CES had to be in 3D, be it films or — in some cases — videogames.The trailer forMonsters vs. Aliens: The Video Game, which Activision will be publishing later this year, is not in 3D.
