Not in 3D. Just in perspective.

Contrast with a movie theatre where you wear special glasses, or with a play 
or puppet show.

My point being that even with both eyes open, looking at light projected on 
a 2D flat movie screen, you still have a sense of depth. You know Bruce 
Willis' car is closer than the bad guy's helicopter even if it's a flat 
photo on a flat screen.
