I have heard so much hype about watching movies in 3-D, but I didn’t want to pay extra because I am cheap and I was worried that Z wouldn’t be able to wear the glasses over his glasses which could be frustrating for everybody. Then there were a couple occasions where we had some opportunity to watch 3-D stuff at home with some of the little reb/blue glasses and I was never impressed, but I blamed it on the cheap glasses. Then come to find out the cheapy glasses were working for everyone except me! I don’t have any vision problems so I thought maybe my eyes were too sharp to fooled by this three dimensional illusion, but then I googled it and it turns out there are a lot of people that can’t see 3-D (Johnny Depp is one) and it’s because of visual impairments. I’ll admit this diagnosis caught me off guard, but contrary to the online recommendation I don’t plan on going to an eye doctor. I can read, I can see near and far, I can take pictures, and play sports (well, maybe not the sports, but I don’t blame my eyes). I guess not being able to watch 3-D movies is something I can live without. I rarely go to the movies anyway. It averages about once or twice a year lately, but this week went to the theater twice!
The first one was the Kung Fu Panda sequel. Both of the kids wore panda shirts. We all laughed and I even cried at the end a little.
Then next day a friend of ours offered us 4 tickets to see Cars 2 at 9:00 am on opening day! Well, we couldn’t pass that up, so yesterday we got up early and went to the theater at 8:00. 
Z had all his Lightning McQueen fan gear from his sippy cup down to his underwear.
They played a game of tossing around the beach balls while we sat and waited for the movie to start and State Farm insurance who sponsored the whole thing gave away lots of prizes. I left with a balloon, Lighting McQueen tattoo and a teddy bear. It really was a blast.
I think that’s enough movies for me for a while. Although, I admit I am curious whether or not I would be able to watch 3D with polarized glasses. Supposedly there is a good percentage of people that get sick, tired, or just can’t see 3D images at all. So I have to ask does anyone else have any issues seeing 3D or know someone who does?
I've seen 2 movies in 3D and did not enjoy the experience in either one. Although I could see the 3D images, about 10 minutes into the movies I developed a slight headache (which is not common for me). In both instances, I left the theater exhausted despite the fact that neither movie was shown late in the evening and I had gotten a good night's sleep the night before.
I am not a fan!
I LOVE 3D! It's awesome. I always jump when something comes at me.
My 7 year old has been waiting for sooo long for Cars2 to come out. I need to take him and make it a special trip. 😀
Of course, Chris can't see 3D with only one good eye, but he could before cancer. I had a teacher in high school who had depth-perception issues, but I never realized it related to seeing 3D. Do you have trouble with depth perception?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! 🙂
