I really enjoyed the movie. It felt like riding a ride at a theme park to me. However, I'm getting tired of the cost increases for 3D movies. A year ago it was a $1 surcharge to watch a Real D movie and now they're charging $3. One ticket for MBV3D was $12.75. I don't know if all of the chains in the US are doing this or just Regal and Carmike, but I'm not happy with paying that much.
I payed $10 to see it in 3d (RealD) at a really high end theater, and I thought that was still a bit much. I really enjoyed the movie, but I was in the RARE mood for a mindless old-school slasher movie and had low expectations going in. Still, I wasn't really impressed with the polarization technology. I though the depth of the 3d was great, but the glasses made the screen too dark and strained my eyes a bit. Motion looked choppy to me, and it always took me a second to focus on changing scenes. I really don't see the medium taking off with these problems. I'd actually like to try the shutter glasses for my new 3d samsung tv, but don't have $200 for a pair and I doubt the technology could ever make it to theaters.
