Oh my word, I hate them.
I am not part of the population segment that is unable to actually see the 3D effect, but I really don’t enjoy 3D at all.
The effect never looks all that convincing to me; it looks more like a pop-up book than anything. I see the images coming off the screen, but as they come toward me, they look rather flat, if that makes sense.
The 3D almost feels like it’s getting in the way of the movie instead of adding to it.
And if I watch a full-length movie in 3D, my head feels kind of weird afterward.
So, on the rare occasion that I go to the theater, I purposely avoid 3D movies.
A bonus of this is that tickets to a non-3D movie are typically cheaper. So, I save money + avoid irritation and a weird feeling head.
All that said, sometimes I have enjoyed 3D rides at Disney, but that’s because they are short and also because the 3D feels like part of the ride, not something that’s getting in the way of a movie-watching experience.

I am sooo sensitive to motion that I would never chose to see one, let alone pay for one!

I do not suffer from motion sickness but I do have trouble with the sense of movement but lack of actual movement if that makes sense. I would love to see movies at the Omni theatre but even with sitting in the very last row, I get so very dizzy it isn’t enjoyable.

Unrelated, I finally thought of a couple favorite lines from books. I’m not a line kind of gal, really. Most things are most valuable taken as a whole (IMO). But some stick out.
“First time funny, second time silly, third time a spanking.” This just applies to so many situations! Ramona’s father in (I think) Ramona Quimby, Age 8.
“The strangeness of this life cannot be measured.” I am positive this is in an LM Montgomery book, probably one of the Emilys and most likely the middle one, but I can’t lay eyes on it right now.

Oh, right there with you! 3D movies give me migraines. Why would I pay more to hurt like that? No thanks.
I would be interested in trying a 3D ride @ Disney. Sounds like fun.

I am part of the population that can’t see 3D. To me it’s just more noise and gimmicks than actual filmmaking.

I’m content with regular movies. No need for the extra fanciness for me. 🙂
