That said, I do think detective stories or other slow-pace movies could genuinely benefit from 3D. The first few would be hopelessly distracting, but eventually people might come to accept the concept, and then you'd be near equal ground with the protagonist. A room full of distractions, some of which the characters draw your attention to; A man on his deathbed, occupying only a corner of the bed and unable to reach the water clearly under a meter away; A couple wandering the streets at night, afraid of thugs until they dodge into a warm and sheltering tavern. I think these kinds of movies could genuinely benefit from a more immersive environment ...eventually.
edit: more likely, by the time people can make such movies, the technology will be commonplace enough that no one will notice, except maybe to complain about how they didn't take proper advantage of it.
There's essentially three questions: can it be done, how can it be done, and which movie will do it.
The solution to all three questions is exactly what's happening: throw as many parallel filmmakers at the problem as we can spare and wait to get the answers. (Of course, the question "can it be done" is undecidable.)
Not which movie, but how to create such a movie. How would 3D effects harmonize with a movie? How would 3D add to the "complex and beautiful" story?
After solving how, we can answer "which".
