A couple of questions for FWFRs who wear glasses .
* Do the glasses in Cinemas for 3D movies fit comfortably over your glasses?
* Do you find the 3D effect tiring? - i mention this as even people with 20/20 vision have said it can be tiring after a while.

I did not enjoy the 3d after 20 minutes, because it became more of the same and seemed to get fuzzier and fuzzier. Several times I had to take them off due to feeling dizzy/sick.
I have 20/10 vision (what healthy eyes can see at 10 feet, I can see at 20) which amazes eye doctors. When I saw avatar, I thought there were some weird choices in what to make 3d, almost as if they just made everything 3d that they possibly could. I remember one scene had someone's elbow sticking waaay out, just because it was closest to the camera. Proportions were all over the place with the 3d effects. |

Cineworld has split the extra cost into one for the glasses and one just for the 3D. I wish I had kept a pair when they were free. It's bad enough having to pay extra for a worse experience. |

I wear glasses (and have for almost 40 years, ack) and the only problem I have with the 3D glasses is the "experience fee" they charge me.
Not too long ago our theater had the policy of if you brought your own glasses from home you didn't have to pay the extra fee, which encouraged you to hang on to them and reuse them (because a two hour movie isn't enough to wear out a pair of glasses).
Now they don't care, you pay the fee regardless.
Yes, I'm being a bit cheap, it just pisses me off. Now I see the 2D version of a movie if they offer one to save the fee. They get enough of my money as it is  |

I wear glasses in theory (although in fact I haven't had any since 2002), so another issue to be aware of is whether or not you will actually be able to utilise the 3D. My left eye is much weaker and so my eyes do not work together. When I see a 3D film, therefore, the only difference for me is that it is darker than a normal film, since only half of the light is coming through the right lens. I've never found it tiring, though.

It can be a little annoying when the edges of the glasses are distractingly in your peripherals.
That's how I felt about eyeglasses in general, until people started making fun of my "Superfly glasses". Now I tolerate (barely) those pesky frames. |

I can't remember. The last 3-D movie I saw was in 1973 and was being screened as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein ("You don't know death, Otto, until you've fucked a gall bladder.") I recall having a headache at the end, but that may have been from ducking the flying blood when they cut off the guy's head. |

I'm not even going to try. From past experiences I know that there's something about my dyslexia that doesn't let my brain manage to see 3D properly - its all fuzzy and strange.
(And when I've tried, yes, I did find it tiring.)

And yes, it can be tiring, but then Avatar is a pretty long movie... 
ditto - except for the tiring bit --- not that I'd notice, mind you ... if I get tired, I just fall asleep!

I don't wear glasses, but after watching Avatar my eyes felt the same way they do after playing my Xbox 360 for 12 hours straight...  |

Cinemas seldom take passes
From fwiffers who wear glasses.
I have 4/4 vision (I see everything in terms of how I would write a four word review about it) and I don't find 3D tiring. |
