Let me preface this with the note that I wear glasses and am mostly blind (uncorrectable vision problems) in one eye. It already causes problems with depth perception, so I wasn't sure how that would affect my experience with 3D movies.
I wanted to see Thor, but my favorite theater was only showing it in 3D. Other theaters in the area had it in 2D, but not at the times I was available, so I figured I could try it out. I didn't experience any headache or nausea symptoms like I heard from others, but I did notice that the movie was a bit darker than I had expected. This was confirmed when I later watched the 2D version at home.
There was also a white haze over the entire film, and after experimenting a bit, I realized that it was due to my bad eye. I could have watched it with a better picture in 2D with one eye closed without too much difficulty. My main problem was that the 3D glasses didn't fit over my glasses very well and I had to keep adjusting them. Very annoying.
Overall, the 3D didn't really bother me, but it didn't look good, either. I don't plan on watching any other movies in 3D unless I have no other choice (it's not showing in 2D anywhere and I don't want to wait until it gets to DVD).

P.S. The "NSSP" is implied.
Of course, [Quixote] carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be...

I'm not sure if it's dead, but I wish it would die. I refuse to see any movies in "3D." *NM*

The good news is that 3D seems to be bombing in a lot of theatres.

I hate it. It gives me headaches and makes my eyes water. And adds nothing to the films.

Not only does it add nothing, in many cases it detracts.

Those guys who put spinning hubcaps on their car are going to come after you for that.

I like 3D just fine. Not in all movies, but in some it really adds an extra dimension (pun intended)

No, it's not dead. It's not been created yet. Not real 3D, anyway. *NM*

The day they come out with Citizen Kane in 3D is the day I start firebombing theatres. *NM*

I saw Immortals in 3D and I didn't wear the glasses most of the time.

Saw Tintin in 3D and didn't notice any "3D effects". Reinforces my opinion they're a waste of $. *NM*

Then there's either something wrong with you, or you walked into the wrong theater.

Yeah. And it should look different even without the glasses. All double-image-ish and stuff.
