Going to 3-D movies is somewhat pointless when you don't have any depth perception.

Going to 3-D movies when you don't have any depth perception and are subject to migraines is pointless and painful.

As much as I like the Spy Kids movies, Spy Kids 3-D just doesn't have enough of a plot to make it worthwhile without the 3-D part.

Cool! Someone else with no depth perception and an inability to deal with so-called 3-D movies! Do you also have difficulty with binoculars?

(My eyes just don't work that well together. The world doesn't look any less 3-D to me with one eye than with two. I judge depth by experience, perspective, and visual clues, just as you judge it in a photo, and didn't know anyone else did differently till my teens. I still don't understand exactly what it is others perceive, except in an intellectual understanding of parallax.)

I have no difficulty whatsoever with binoculars. I ignore the image coming in my right eye, and they work fine. I don't actually understand why people use them instead of telescopes, though. I mean, I use binoculars and telescopes precisely the same way.

Yeah, photographs don't look significantly flatter than, y'know, reality.

Yeah. that's basically what I usually do with telescopes (though I think I ignore the left).
