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.
One criticism I’ve read of modern 3D films, is that they are too timid in doing the pop out shots. One reason the classic stuff (when shown properly) blows it off the map.
A trip to the toy aisle to sample a Viewmaster set might be cheaper than seeing an eye doctor. Just avoid the AOTC and ROTS sets. 😉
