2D or 3D ?

[Jay]

For an epic adventure film like Star Wars, do you prefer to see it in 2D or 3D?

[Ordos]

2D. Shouldn't need gimmicks that distract from an immersive story, IMO

[arch stanton]

I like the 3D in the wide shots but the closeups are distracting. I wish you could get it on demand.

I was bummed when the theater I went to see Star Wars in was only showing it in 3D.

I saw The Force Awakens in 3D and it was just OK for me. I think I would prefer 2D, but I wanted to hear what others think.

2D unless it's a mindless action flick designed specifically for 3D

my brother and i saw it in 3D last week because it offered us the best seat selection of the day (saw the 9:45 am show) and because the price was still less than a regular ticket during the non-discount shows ($15 for us vs. $16 normally). the 3D effects didn't enhance or distract from the movie. in fact, i'm really not even sure why they showed it in 3D as i can't recall any moments where i thought "wow, that's so much better than what those peasants watching 2D must be experiencing."

3D usually gives me a headache.

2d. 

But I really do like the Xpand 3d system.  But that was only because I could bring my own 3d Glasses in.  The theater ones were too heavy and glass got smudged easily.  But using a personal pair was just so much better.

RealD is ok.  Not as crisp.  Probably the 3d medium I dislike the most.

Dolby 3D needs to do like Xpand and offer a purchasable pair.  The theater versions get dirty easy, and just don't fit right.

Never have tried the Imax 3D.

But IMO, the quality of the glasses really affects the 3d experience.  And that is the biggest problem.  Because one smudge, or scratch, or ill fitting glasses, and it can ruin the experience.

if you bring your own glasses, do you still get charged extra to see the movie?

Yeah.  But the quality of the movie is 100%+ times better.

I used to be a 3D addict. Now I rather save half the money and see 2D. For a big visual movie I'll still see it in 3D though.
