Never seen a 3D film myself so was wondering if anyone else had had any similar problems, or is this more Daily Mail BS.

I can relate. Watching movies in 3D gives me a headache.

I don't like them - never have.

The big thing to remember with 3D in general, is that it is impossible to generate a 3D image that every person can handle. The problem that the article doesn't really delve into is the fact that a person's focal point in their field of vision is the most important thing in creating a 3D image. That focal point changes based on height, distance between eyes, and a few other things, thus trying to force all people to see the same image is the reason for this phenomenon.

Guess my brain is already fried as I can't make out a 3D movie. I just get a blurry image.

I have had no problems. I went to watch Clash of the Titans in 3D and Nightmare on Elm Street afterwards back to back while having not very much sleep. Suffered no side effects.

Apart from a case of very bad taste when it comes to movies
