It's too bad this didn't get an IMAX release (Journey 2 had that staked out). That way, for 18 bucks, the people who saw this could've been guaranteed a great audio/visual experience. Instead, it sounds like a lot of people are paying 16 bucks and getting swindled. Even if everyone is seeing this in real-d and not one of the offbrand 3d techniques like dolby or xpand, there's still a lot of variables like the type of projector being used. With IMAX, a lot of those variables are taken out of the equation.

Then again, it may simply be that moviegoers have different expectations for their 3D presentations. What's crap quality to one person might be amazing to another.
