When I saw the movie (yup, I wear glasses too), I was told that it may take a little bit to get used to the 3D, but it worked great right off the bat for me. They played a few previews in 3D which helped to get your eyes already used to the 3D world for about 10 minutes before the movie started. I had no issues with the 3D glasses fitting fine over my regular glasses.

It is GREAT in 'regular 3D' unless you are spoiled by regular IMAX visits in 3d then you will not be disappointed.
The advice to go early for good seating is important. If it's like here, the theater is full all but the very back and front 30 minutes before the show. In my second viewing, I got stuck at the back and found the 3D still works great but there was the illusion that things are leaving your field of vision too quickly because you are further back and the screen is relatively smaller. Your eyes want to follow things further to the side but they are already gone. I say illusion because timing wise, it's really the same thing, it just seems like stuff is lost from sight quicker.

Yeah - we got there about 30 minutes early and were able to get 2 seats about 1/3 the way up and just slightly off center. All Center seats were gone. I don't go to a lot of movies and almost underestimated. We went straight from the door into the theater. 5 minutes after walking in all center and slightly off center seats were gone. The people that bought tix right in front of us stopped by the concession stand. They ended up on the front row - which I am guessing is not optimal either as you are looking almost straight up.

No play by play. I liked it though. I was only slightly off center. Pretty good seat. I thought they did a good job with the 3D. It doesn't jump out at you a lot, but is used more to help immerse you into the Avatar world.
My only complaint was I had to pee almost the whole time I was sitting there. It distracted me a bit. That's what I get for having a coke with dinner and then also having a beer before going into the movie!

Yes, how silly. A beer with dinner as well, would have been much better.

I just watched Matrix on Mars. Oops, I mean Avatar 3D. This is a really good movie. Just don't stare at the 3d naked chics in leotards too long. It does funny things to the eyes.
