Same theater, same screen, same time.
I chose the empty. I love an empty theater when watching a movie.

Empty. I hate crowds, one of the reason I hardly go to the theater anymore.

Also 3-D blows and is more expensive. So this might be one one of the easiest hypotheticals ever

I would probably choose 3d anyway. I enjoy 3D, and I refuse to join the "It's cool to hate on 3D" thing.

In the 3-D theater, do I get a seat in the stadium seats? Or do I have to sit in the shitty seats in the front?

If I get a regular seat in the stadium seating, 3-D all day.

I'm going to go see the Avengers tonight in 3-D. It'll be my first 3-D experience. I hope I like it.

I have watched several 3D movies and have hated them all. They tend to give me a headache and I find it hard to even concentrate on the movie. IMO the 3D quality at this point pretty much sucks

There is no "cool to hate on 3-D" thing. Good for you if you like it, but I'm pretty sure most people have seen movies in 3-D and alot just find it a shitty experience. The only good 3-D movies are ones like Avatar, which took James Cameron a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars to perfect

also, movies shot in 3D purposefully use cinematography that accentuates the 3D, creating shitty angles

Empty, no questions asked. I refuse to go to a movie anytime Friday or Saturday.

I've been wanting to asking this question but didnt want to start a thread for it, now seems a good time:

How does 3D sports on TV compare to 3D in a theater. Even if 3D in a theater is "better quality," are 3D sports better looking because it looks live?

People hate on 3D because it adds nothing to the experience other than a migrane. Oh, and it's more expensive.

Likewise. A good movie is about the story and not 3D though granted 3D enhances some special effects.
