Only the first segment was in 3d , 12 minutes exactly, and the remaining majority of the film is the neck-wrenching-too-close-to-the-screen IMAX experience. Such a big production. Waiting in line. Scrambling for a decent seat. Tons of announcements about how valuable the 3D glasses are and please don't take them with you when you leave or the theft prevention devices will sound. In the event of a fire, please do not take your 3D glasses with you. Blah Blah. After the first scene, these blinking red remove-your-glasses warning on the screen. I figured that there would be at least a couple more 3D episodes like the quidditch match or something, but nothing. Save your money. Go sit in the first row at a regular theater. Harry Potter in 3D what a rip off.

What gives? Considering the Imax price and $20 for parking...NOT WORTH IT! When I saw H.P. at Navy Pier Imax in Chicago, we were advised to remove our 3d glasses after the first 20 minutes.

Because that probably means they just did the fight in the department, and I saw the movie at midnight last night and i'm sure that it would be incredible in 3D. I'm going to see it asap!

They should do the whole thing 3D or don't mess with it at all. We would take the 2 hr drive to see it if the whole thing were in 3D, but not just for 20 mins.

I dunno. Converted from 2D to 3D ... I'd personally rather have them NOT do that to the final 20 minutes of the movie. Thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure not to watch this in the IMAX when it comes out .. I'd rather see what the director intended instead of some cheesy wannabe 3D. Meh … I dunno.

The 3D IMAX uses is not the BLUE and RED glasses. It is a whole new level of technology in the movie bizz. I think it deserves a looking into as I like to stay on top of new waves that sometimes can change the marketplace. Have U ever thought it might be a solution to all the pirating going on?

If you're gonna do any of the movie in 3D do ALL of the movie in 3D. I won't waste my time or money otherwise. Not to see 1/6th of a movie in 3d. That's absolutely absurd.
