@SeanTheOriginal but if you're going with someone who wants to see the movie in 3D, you would have to watch it separately

I don't like 3-D movies because I can not physiacally see much, if not all, of the 3-D effects. My left eye can hardly see if you want an explantion.

This is an awesome idea! Thanks, Hank.

Thanks so much for these glasses. I recently bought them for me and my family and I love them

@TheMinisips I think you would know, especially with some of the better 3D movies. 2D vs 3D is a big difference.

30 million people.....thats almost the population of Canada...O.o

Why didn't I find out about these earlier?! I could have saved myself from like three headaches!

[TheMinisips]

when I watch 3D movies everything is 2D. I wear the 3D glasses but because I have eye problems the images come out as if I'm watching a 2D movie. It's sort of makes me angry that I have to pay extra money to go to a 3D movie and use 3D glasses only see it in 2D. However maybe I am seeing the movie in 3D and I just don't know it because I'm so use to seeing everything as if it were 2D. Due to a lack of depth perception I can't tell how far away things are so maybe my brain just isn't getting it?

[TheGFeather]

It isn't that I want to learn to watch them without feeling ill, it's that I never seem to take the lesson that 3D and IMAX make me feel that way to heart. I still see things like Great Barrier Reef in IMAX and want to see them, completely failing to remember how much I always regret it. It's a mistake I rather embarrassingly never seem to learn from.

[ScienceofWinning]

@TheGFeather Actually, it's probably not something that you can learn; it's probably biological. Human eyes see at about 15fps; that's what we're used to taking information at, & our brain knows how to gloss over the 'frames' so it looks natural to us. Movies nowadays run at @ least 64fps, & 3D movies run at 64fps w/ 2 different camera angles. So, some people's eyes can't handle the flashing; it's just too much info too fast. So there ya go, not your fault!

I'm pretty sure you NEVER forget to be awesome.

EVER.
