Out of curiosity, then, have there been films that you’ve seen in 3D that haven’t made you ill? Or is that just a general response you have to films in 3D? (I have friends like that.)

I don’t find that the 3D makes me sick, but it 99 out of 100 films it’s been used in, it adds nothing if not detracting from the experience. Avatar (for me) was one of the few films that felt improved having seen it in 3D.

Most of the ones I’ve seen have been fine. I might get a slight headache or something, but it goes away quickly.

Avatar was a whole new level of painful. I had never felt anything like that at all. I’d eaten a full meal more than an hour before the film, but after it was over I felt like I hadn’t eaten in days. I was dizzy and couldn’t find my balance at first, and once I did nothing tasted right and everything hurt.

Avatar was like having the worst hangover of your life while ALSO having a migraine and sea sickness at the same time. It was awful.
