3D movies, can you watch them?
-
I've given them a couple of tries now, thinking I might get used to it eventually. That hasn't happened yet. It takes a long time before my eyes "snap in" and stop seeing two superimposed images, and then occasionally with a scene change, they snap right out again. Subtitles are just totally lost, not that I really need them anyway.. and if they do "the 3D gimmick" with suddenly putting an object right in front of the viewer, well that *really* doesn't work for me. How is that going for you people? Am I just doing it wrong?
Can't see them at all - I don't have stereoscopic vision - so I'm kind of glad that they're going out of fashion. I love that scene in The Simpsons where Bart and Homer are sat in a cinema watching a 3D movie and Bart says something to the effect of "Wow! This is awesome! Why can't real life be in 3D, too?"

No problems for me. Try not to think about it so much. Just look.

The people in the movies I watch are all in 3D, and I have no problem with it. Mind you, I had also no problem with 2D cartoons.

I am still waiting for movies to make the leap into a full 360° VR experience. I cannot wait to be able to watch the movie from inside the movie. That will be awesome.

My problem is that they are dimmer, and my eyes don't handle low light levels as well as they used to. Then again, even my gf, 17 years younger, complains about 3D movies being hard to see because they're darker.

That sounds superficially reasonable, but when it looks like two superimposed images I can't *not* think about that. It's wrong and extremely distracting.
Remember these[^]? I never see anything in them. no matter how hard I try. It only works for me when I unintentionally look at it. The same for the direction of a rotating wireframe cube on a flat screen. Don't try to tell the image processor between your ears how to do its work. :-)

I can "watch them", but that doesn't mean I like what I'm seeing. With very few exceptions with 3D movies, I've always felt like I was watching an image being projected on a flat pane of glass. Then further behind, there's another image being projected on another pane of glass, with nothing occupying the volume of empty space between them. Then add a few more layers like this to compose the entire scene. It all comes across to me as very artificial. What I find to be exceptionally bad with 3D movies is when focus is set on a person in the middle of a scene, with another person closer to you from your perspective, as if you're watching over their shoulder, and the person that's the closest to you is blurred/out of focus. It's a great effect for 2D movies and directors use it to draw your eye to what you should be paying attention to, but this is completely unnatural for 3D ones. These days--if I can buy a movie on Blu-ray, and the 3D version is also included in the same package for a few extra bucks (say, less than $10 in difference), I'll splurge for it - but if I have to choose between the two, I'll always pick the 2D version.

Works fine until they overdo it. But I've actually had two different classmates in school that didn't have stereoscopic viewing. One of them had some kind of bad connection in his brain. He could see either on his left side, OR his right side, unless he closed one eye. Then he could see both sides at the same time. He could switch mentally and instantly.
