I saw My Bloody Valentine, and Avatar. So both ends of the 3D spectrum. Neither left me wanting to see more.

It doesn't add anything to the viewing experience. It doesn't look more real. The real world doesn't work like the 3D effect in movies. In the real world there's parallax, when you move side to side, previously obscured information is revealed.

I supposed 3D technology to eventually get to that point. Just as CG effects had to go through a growing period (and perhaps are still not as good as practical effects in some cases--blood splatter comes to mind). It'll just be painful to watch until it gets there.
