I have only seen one movie in 3D. Kaldric Send a noteboard - 21/12/2011 07:29:02 PM
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* - 21/12/2011 12:42:31 AM 307 Views
As do I. *NM* - 23/12/2011 02:15:52 AM 304 Views
Agreed. - 24/12/2011 11:22:25 PM 693 Views
I hate it. It gives me headaches and makes my eyes water. And adds nothing to the films. - 21/12/2011 11:59:34 AM 839 Views
I agree with everything you've said. *NM* - 23/12/2011 02:13:57 AM 311 Views

I like 3D just fine. Not in all movies, but in some it really adds an extra dimension (pun intended) - 21/12/2011 12:34:39 PM 600 Views

If it is dead, let it stay dead. - 21/12/2011 09:03:38 PM 658 Views
Always been pretty disappointed with 3-D effects - 28/12/2011 04:30:56 AM 797 Views
Saw Tintin in 3D and didn't notice any "3D effects". Reinforces my opinion they're a waste of $. *NM* - 28/12/2011 05:09:32 PM 306 Views
Then there's either something wrong with you, or you walked into the wrong theater. - 29/12/2011 08:42:01 AM 836 Views

The road to holodecks is paved with bad 3D movies. *NM* - 03/01/2012 09:17:13 PM 281 Views
