I get annoyed with the 3D stuff too. Also read recently that there is a disclaimer on all the new 3D tvs about how 3D can damage the eye development in young children. Needless to say, I won't be buying a 3D TV or taking my kids to see one any time soon. As far as nixing the glasses---the screen will look a little blurry and so be prepared to get a headache if you go that route. I've found that none of the older movie theaters carry 3D and, bonus, they're usually cheaper.
