I should clarify that: The glasses were not the 3-D 'polarizing' type at all,
but rather the liquid-crystal shutter type--*SO* much better. A friend who saw
the film yesterday tells me that AVATAR uses those, when shown in IMAX 3-D.

Hmm. Yeah. Maybe those would be better. Don't think I have seen a movie 
with them though. I do have a pair for my computer, but its the old 
style VGA connector, not the new USB run ones, so... its got some 
annoying limitations. Its also not much different in design, in this 
case, from the ones I grumbled about. LCD shutters, in my experience, 
still tend to be "flat" panels, not curved, like a true lens, so you 
have the same issue, you can't "see" anything not straight in front of 
you. The polarizing ones, if they bothered to make good ones, instead of 
the cheap, flat, throw out ones, would possibly still have an advantage.
