I'm not defending 3D by the way. I find it useless to most movies (and alas so far all movies I've seen where it added something were movies that sucked anyway) and distracting for the most part. I totally disagree with ironclad it's a more immersive experience, to me it's the opposite and gimmicky (I hate it when stuff in movies make me think too much of the technology behind them) and as I almost always get bad headaches when I work for more than 30 min with the damned 3D glasses on, the last thing I'd want is put them on on my leisure time to see movies. The only movie I'm considering seeing in 3D this year is Tintin, as I'm curious to see what one of the best American directors of blockbusters has done with it - and because it's animation and so won't be as distracting to the flow of the movie.
