None of the above – I think we should be allowed to pay for a pair of glasses once as a separate charge, then keep them and re-use them for future movies. Cheaper for everybody involved and a hell of a lot less wasteful than getting a new pair every time.

what he said. None of the above. Let me buy my own, bring my own, and re-use them. I know mine were uncomfortable enough to be distracting, but I have a big head.

I agree with Shadoglare and a little surprised it’s not one of the options in the survey
Absolutely not the theatre showing the movie. They already make almost nothing on opening weeks box office (thanks to the sliding scale on ticket profits), if their biggest attendance times started COSTING them money things would be even more expensive!

I agree with everyone here, but I think it falls well enough under paying a deposit.
Merlin McCarleysays
When someone actually sets a standard that studios will adhere to then can address the issue. How about REAL frames with changable lenses? Then we can have our own personal fited glasses.

The extra cost for 3d isn’t the glasses, it’s a charge being passed to the consumer for the cost of refitting the cinema with new hardware to show 3d (about $500,000). That’s a cost they’ve incurred for doing business and shouldn’t be passed onto consumers. That said, I’d happily buy my own glasses as the theatre ones are so uncomfortable. Enough with the stealth taxation already!

No— not keep them. I mean would you really manage to NOT lose them? Or your children not break or wreak them?
How many 3-D movies does one see to justify buying a pair to keep?
I do think to return them to the theater and maybe get charged a buck is fair. NOT double the ticket!

3D so what. Who would pick up the cost of actually making good movies?
Normandysays
no one, stop making 3d movies, as its stupid passing fad!

Succint and eloquent . . . I like it.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure they won’t listen. The more 3-D they do, the more I’m waiting for DVD releases . . . sans 3-D.
