There is allegedly a test the eye doctor can do to check if your eyes are attuned to the 3D experience. I suspect my eyes struggle more than others but maybe I just don’t enjoy it.

Well, there’s no shortage of crazy pop-out effect movies to test yourself out on. It’s quite possible to see the effect and fail to see the point of the effect, which is where I’ve pretty much landed on every “You just have to see this in 3D!” movie. Assuming you can see the effect, it’s just a matter of finding the type of film it where you can see the point of the effect (which is subjective), and then whether you actually like that type of film (which is also subjective). If I opt to see TFA, it’ll definitely be in 2D.

For me it takes some time/effort for things to come together and not be so disorienting (and I don’t know if that’s normal for the 3D experience) and then I feel it requires some concentration on my part.
I think the last movie I saw in 3D was Boxtrolls. At some point in that movie, either I stopped really noticing it or to the extent I did, I didn’t see the point. So it’s not that I can’t see it at all, but it seems to require an effort.
