3D is awful. The polarization filter in front of the projector blocks half of the projected light, then half of the light reflected by the silver screen (if the cinema is even using the required RealD silver screen) is filtered away by the polarized glasses. This results in less than 25% of the projected light reaching the eyes of the viewer. Add to this the fact that I'm wearing 3D glasses over my glasses and it's also a pain in the ass.
The wife and I watch a lot of movies, and the only one I can remember enjoying in 3D was Avatar. Everything thing else just seems like a gimmick... even Star Wars in 3D isn't required.
I'm going again on Wednesday to watch it for a second time... in good old glorious 2D. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it more.
