oh yeah
One should always avoid 3D if given a choice. The picture quality is always substantially reduced and is always harder to track fast action scenes. Having said that different people have different tolerance levels for 3D so hopefully that person has very little tolerance level and was exaggerating the problems.

In my local cinema:
3D - Higher price. Not very good 3D. Small screen.
2D - Cheaper. Great picture quality. Giant screen.

What's the average price for a 3D screening where you are?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Every movie does that, it's called cinematography.

If a 3D projection seems dim that's the theater's fault, trying to save money(you're supposed to project 3D movies at 3X normal brightness). Shit, the other day this movie theater I went to was showing a 2D movie darker than normal.
Don't 3D showings involve some kinda filter that cuts down on brightness? A filter that they often leave on for 2D showings in the same theater? Causing both 3D and 2D to be incredibly dim?
$15 vs $11.50 for non-matinee
You know what I mean. By watching the film in 3D your eyes are drawn more to what is "popping out" at you rather than the entire shot. This is at least true for me.
If anything I feel like a 3D movie (especially one done post production) ruins the cinematography.
Damn. It's just the same price across the board for everything in the place I normally go to... £4.50, the equivalent of $7 maybe.

Nah, I disagree. First of all when was the last time you saw a 3D movie? Pop out is not very prevalent any more for gimmicky shots and is used when it makes sense. If something is popping out at you then that's what they want to focus on whether the shot is in 2D or 3D.
There is no difference to me in focusing on everything in a scene in a 3D movie and doing so in real life.

I can't sit through all of that at home, let alone a movie theater. Insane.

I am mega hyped for this 
there is a cinema that charges $36 per seat but it'll be so worth it to avoid the annoying crowd.

Yeah, I'm usually okay with 3d movies, so fingers crossed it's not an issue.
Thursday will be the only viewing I'll be able to get in for a week...really hope it's not a disaster.
Probably Jurassic Park.
I just do not like 3D and have a hard time focusing on it. Just a waste of money for me.

I'd happily sleep through a number of those.
IM2, IM3, Thor 1 and 2...
Ugh.
Imagine falling asleep once you get to AoU LOL
I can't even marathon the Back to the Future trilogy.

Still amazed people dislike IM3. Shit is the best Marvel film.

I've already slept today. Just need to shower before I head out to the theatre.
It's certainly not the best, but I did enjoy it a lot.
"Oy I'm Trevor, I'm an actor!" Shit still has me laughing.

I loved IM3. Not the best of the bunch but still a great film. Tony and Rhodey doing the buddy cop action at the end was a great Shane Black laugh too.
Well, yea, but AoU is 19 hours away from the beginning of the first movie. You'd be tired and ready to sleep again by then.
Better plan would've been to schedule sleep time through the boring movies
It's a bit of a conflict for me because I like it as a movie but for some reason I hated all the extremis stuff.

If I had to list my top three, it would be
- Winter Soldier
- Iron Man 3
- The Avengers
Iron Man 3 was great
A lot of people are reacting to this, so I thought I'd mention it again. This is written by someone who doesn't like 3D to begin with. He does state that he's found 3D to be fun in some select cases, but, in general, hasn't been a fan.
I have a friend who doesn't like pie. I wouldn't trust his impression of my neighbor's apple pie.
OLE, OLE, OLE, OLE!
That movie made no sense at times and the villain was meh at best.

Appreciate the sentiment. Only bad thing is I'll miss out on Agents of SHIELD tonight

It'll be good craic, lot of marvel fans. And I'm not going alone, and theres supplies, so I'll be well hyped for Ultron tomorrow.

I might watch this just because Ultrons voice.
Well, enjoy the craic at least. I wouldn't have it in me, I managed a double bill when Thor: The Dark World came out but just barely, couldn't manage what you're doing!
Yeah, mostly quietly with occasional loud reactions to the movie on screen.

I've never seen anyone on Gaf use the word "craic" and now it was used twice on this page. Nice.
Your money is all they want.

My theater has one of those IMAX screens (not the full size one, unfortunately) and I love watching movies on it, but most of the time the 3D goes hand-in-hand. If given the option, I'd watch AoU on the bigger screen in 2D, but 3D is the only option so I'll just suck it up
