I usually get a headache when watching 3d movie, and yes, I have glasses.
Lola7575
3d movies make me dizzy. hate them
izmi
3d movies often give me migraines as the glasses fit badly & the 3d experience is incomplete. I'm sensitive to light movement as a trigger.
StrawberryBlondeIsALie
Screen is too dark for 3D, I always fall asleep
KomodoKill
Me too. And wrong meme
kadrian
I've got a lazy eye and the 3D effect never works for me. And I get motion sick so all the swooping and zooming makes me sick
thegoddamngandalf
You and literally everyone else
SireTalkALot
agreed, its the idea that makes a good movie
Akreyeiu
Jeezus, I get a head ache when I watch them... Probably due to the fact I wear glasses. Wearing those 3d ones over them for 2 hours blows.

Confession: I can't see in 3D.

I'm the same but my exception for this was Dr. Strange
mjso23
Agreed. What a treat

I agree 100% 3D is just a gimmick for charging higher prices. Also, Unpopular Opinion Puffin fer chrissakes

actually its a gimmick to allow them to sell in China https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/20/china-eases-import-quota-hollywood-films

I would normally tend to agree, but I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in 3D and it was glorious.
donegalforsam
Yeah i thought so 2 it was my first time watching a movie in 3d and would def pick 3d again
OskarKokoshka
So does everyone else?
Audiss
yup
misterbil
there are dozens of us ..... dozens!
dazedNconfuzed
3D looks good to me. Only reason to go to a cinema now. Pity it is so hard on some eyes.
eroso
3D films used to have loads of image errors that caused these headaches. Nowadays they are mostly fixed - many people avoid 3D for nothing.
TheEightfoldPath
I do too.. Because my brain refuses anything 3d.
SomeDetroitGuy
Extra $10?
TotallyNotADentist
Only 3 where I live
SrDave
Yeah I don't think anyone charges $10 extra to see 3D because it wouldn't make any business. OP is a liar.
MrBumm
It could be 10 just depends where u live it's 8 bucks extra at my cinema
WilliamHein
One of my depth perceptions is fucked, so I can't even see 3D movies.

Just one of them?

"Gravity" would not have been the same movie if it wasnt in 3D
Ginoawesomesauce
Avatar, obviously. And Ready Player One as well

First and only 3D movie in an IMAX theater. Pretty cool, but no real desire to see another one.

Nothing could have fixed that goddamn writing though

That is the only movie I'm glad I saw in 3D.

ThanatosElNyx
Dr Strange was awesome in 3D
WonderHowLongMyUsernameCouldBeBeforeImgurStopsMe
same here, 3D sometimes hurt my eyes thats why
I got good news for you - headache issues should be fixed in nowadays 3D films. Studios nowadays hire stereographers who remove headache +
+causing image errors from the film. They also guide how to composite the image so that it will work properly as 3D. Huge difference to 2012
that doesnt seem to matter, i went to watch doctor strange in 3D hurt my eyes still
ah eye strain, but did u get headaches? Unaligned 3D images are what caused those. Nowadays they use programs to find them on film & fix thm
Thedude144
I much prefer 3D to 2d when it adds to the experience, cause you are seeing it the way the film makers intended for you to see it.
If it's a 2D film, filmmakers intented it to be seen as 2D. Proper 3D films have different rules that they have to obey at cinematography.
HodorTactical
Same here.
DavidBrooker
The vast majority of '3D movies' are not shot in 3D, and have an artist draw a depth map in post. Shot in 3D is another story.
qwermmm
I actually prefer the ones converted to 3D. Too many movies still use 3D as a gimmick and have things jump out just for the sake of using 3d
a 3D film Mad Max was intentionally shot as 2D and converted to 3D in post. It worked perfectly
sebstanfan
I already wear glasses, 3D is a pain in the ass.
Neoqueen
Yeah I get headaches sometimes :(
Pafolo
I have to get them just right so the sit on top if my glasses and I never see any 3D shit anyway. Total garbage.
UnfriendlyWolf
I feel yor pain, brother
wheregoodideasgotodie
I have a lazy eye with a horrible prescription in that eye, i feel ya
SlayerOfPie
My eyesight sucks to the point where I can't see 3D anymore
darnok586
I'm over in South Korea and they have awesome clip-on 3-D glasses. It makes me sad America doesn't have them.
Selerox
Same here. Fuck 3D. It's a distraction. They tried it in the 50s and the 70s and it didn't work.
UncomfortableTruths
I'll do you one better; I have prisms in mine for double vision. 3D movies are a fucking NIGHTMARE to deal with.
res20stupid
Diagnosed stereo blind myself.
puffthemagicdracula
Yesss. Watched iron man 3 in 3D had to leave after 1st 10 mins because of nausea. Watched the rest of the movie in blur vision...
Faradesti
That, and last time I used 3D glasses I got a fucking stye on my eye.
tooomanysteves
Ditto
pulkan
Truth, brother.
ThisTimeItIsForKeeps
Our imax has a set of 3D glasses that fit over my normal glasses. It was really nice, but 3D still isn't worth it for me.
Kitt1
The 3D glasses are painful to wear along with regular glasses, very few movies is worth it.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Weird, never bothered me. Maybe I have smaller frames.
EveryonesCousin
I have a damaged eye so 3D just hurts
Badger421
I feel your pain. Right eye is completely blind, so 3D is just like regular film except with more squinting and headaches.
What happened, if you don't mind? Mine was a pencil in 8th grade, shot from a rubber band. Still have some vision but not for long.
Bad luck and stupidity, I'm afraid. Genetic defect in eye shape put too much pressure on my retina, and when it inevitably detached (1/2)
I was young and stupid enough to think it would deal with itself. It was a lazy eye from birth so no one knew 'til a month later. (2/2)
tiffwhaaa
I paid good money to never have to wear glasses again, so paying more money to have to wear them again just irritates me.
razorsbk
Lasik? How is it now? How's the night driving without glasses?
I got mine 7 years ago, and I still have perfect vision! Seriously, best money I've ever spent. No night-driving issues at all.
SaintNewts
I've had LASIK. Night driving is no issue for me. Been 18 years and presbyopia is setting in. Starting to need reading glasses. :P
TheChandrian
I have double vision. 3D gives me a massive headache.
nibblenobbles
OMFG YES! Having 3D glasses over my glasses makes me nauseous and they always fall down...
Xx11Rebecca11xX
I just put in contact lenses whenever I go to see a 3D film. :]
perterbedtomcat
Not everyone can afford contacts
I know, I have a box of them to wear for special occasions. If you can afford the cinema, you can likely afford a few contacts.
Glasses are free with insurance? That's pretty classist.
zylamaquag
3d movies can rot in hell. I know of nobody who prefers them to normal "don't give me a headache or make me nauseous" cinema
MetalPsychologist
My family saw Moana in 3D. It was breathtaking.
Killrapture
Me, got a 3d tv. Better than cinema 3d since it actively adjusts for each scene. I like the added depth
ImScruffyImTheJanitor
They were cool as a kid but they lost their luster. Especially forced 3d scenes because they look idiotic when you're watching the standard.
SaxonsNowRedux
I enjoy them. Won't go out of my way to make sure I watch in 3d though.
TheDrunkenWrench
By the time my eyes adjust, I don't even notice the 3D any more. I wish this gimmick would go away.
Pridestalker
I've started getting nauseous in 2D versions of 3D movies. I don't know what it is.
Hersenvocht
You should evolve to the next phase human
Avatar, Gravity, and Dr. Strange were all worth the extra to see in Imax 3d. Any other movie I saw I would do 2d. I also go early, so it >
Generally is only $8 for it.
If they're filmed in 3d, I love them. If they're digitally converted, fuck them.
Conversion is ok if they shot the film as 3D in mind. Mad Max 3D was done in this way. Possibly the best 3D I've seen at cinemas.
GerberLegalTeam
I get double vision or else I would probably love it.
3D films caused headaches when the productions didn't use stereographers - their job is to make sure there are no headache causing 3D-images
Wuz314159
SOME movies were better in 3D. . . Avatar for one... can't think of others.

MasterPrime
Doctor Strange was pretty cool in 3D but it's not necessary.
Atrus5
Avatar is a terrible movie without the visuals. It is passable with them
Yup, Avatar, Gravity, and Dr. Strange was worth it.
NotTheBeees
Gravity was great in 3D, don't think it would have been without.

Priest was cool at the time. The way the ash in the city fell was excellent for atmosphere.

To be fair I didn't learn this til I started working at a theater
Slamtastik
3D has come a long way, they learned not to overdo it, just a tiny bit of 3D effect so your eyes don't get strained.
The first 3D films where shot like 2D films - that's a big nono. 3D requires different composition and longer cuts than 2D. They know it now
Carger
It's still an unnecessary gimmick. You don't get anything out of seeing it in 3D, regardless of how well they do it.
MoonPotadoh
I liked it in doctor strange. :)
Another big change is that they didn't properly check films for 3D errors - those caused the headaches in first 3D films. Nowadays they do
RemainsspacebarUnknown
for me its the fact that i have to wear stupid glasses that in some cases make the film look worse and i hardly notice any 3d effects.
one1deuce
So why would I pay extra for "just a tiny bit"of 3d. I'm paying a 3d surcharge and it's not even a mostly 3d Movie?
