For people who wears glasses - it is not recommended to watch with the your prescripted glasses on, so you will have to take the glasses off and put on 3D glasses - it is better that way. I experienced a little of headache and naenous but when I removed my prescriped glasses - I felt better.

CC is not available in 3D, but they have special CC for different languiage when they speak of - like I said earlier, the special CC is double layed to make it 3D.

if you want to watch the movie with CC - watch the movie with no 3D effect.

Thank you for explaining. I will wait to get released "Avatar" 3-D Blu-ray disc movie and see what's happen on subtitle.
 
I had a minor motion sickness with 3D movies, but not let
it stop me. My brain seems get used to 3D.

Yep, minor mtion sickness, but you'll get along fine just like you said. Brain will get used to it
 
Remove glasses? I can't see well without glasses. I am thinking about wearing contact lenses and go to the movie just to experience the effect of watching movie in 3D.

I wear eyeglasses with 3D glasses. I did not get any headache at all. Two times, I watched Avatar with 3D at IMAX. One time, we watched Avatar with CC but no Caption.

I asked my wife who wears eyeglasses for all day. She did not get any headache at IMAX 3D.

I like IMAX with 3D because stronger vibration better than without IMAX. I asked my son about Digital 3D vs IMAX 3D. My son works at film projectors and tech person. He said that IMAX has bigger speakers (about 7 feet tall). All giants speakers are behind IMAX Screen.

Recently, you read my messages. You do not need to remove glasses. My wife can't see without eyeglasses. She worn eyeglasses with IMAX 3D glasses. She does not feel any illness from movie.

Not like video game with 3D.... I felt like throw up from computer game with 3D like Doom video game (I can't remember name of video game with 3D like Doom).

Avatar at IMAX 3D does not make me feel any motion sickness. Not like Paranormal or Cloverfield. Last fall, I watched "Paranormal" at movie. I got very sick and dizzy (not feel ready to throw up) then I left from movie with not complete film.

Few times, I played Virtual Reality at special private place. it was real 3D world!!! We played crossfire game. I was one best player in Virtual Reality. I do not feel any motion sickness.
Little different style from this picture

When I attended 3-D IMAX movies in the past, there used to be an announcement before the movies to warn viewers about possible motion sickness. The announcer said, if that happens, just close your eyes for a few seconds until the feeling goes away.
 
I watched it with a pair of special 3D glasses after I put my glasses into my chest pocket. It was not a problem.

People who are prone to motion sickness, are not recommended to watch 3D or very lively movies.
