Wearing a pair of glasses really isn't that bad, as long as your local theatre has a decent pair (I went to one the other day with very uncomfortable ones). I mean, I wear my regular glasses because without them things seems pale, blurry and unappealing - just sort of think of it as you're on Pandora and for some cool sci-fi reason people's vision is blurred so you need a pair of super cool sci-fi glasses

At Walt Disney World in the Southern U.S. there are several shows which incorporate smell... of course in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. It's interesting but... not highly effective.

Ya I am with ya.... Usually I get a major headache from the movie just trying to throw stuff out at me. This seemed to flow alot better, and the first time I never got a headache.

I am glad I saw it in 3d though.... The movie would have seemed a little bland without. I think I am going to see it a second time before its completely out of the theaters because I dont think youll be able to enjoy it that much on the Big Screen at home.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I did feel that the 3D was used in a gimmicky way. As far as wearing the glasses goes, I found it headache-inducing, just like every other 3D movie I've ever seen, and had to keep taking the glasses off every 15 minutes or so to give my eyes a break. So for me it was very distracting and took me out of the experience instead of making me feel immersed in the movie.
