I've seen three movies in 3D, and my reactions varied.

How To Train Your Dragon did it right, and really enhanced the film, especially the flying scenes (I saw it in 2D the day after, so the comparison was quite easy).

Alice In Wonderland did it wrong, and the clunky effort kept breaking my suspension of disbelief.

Avatar was a mix; parts were done very well and added visual depth to the scene, and others were done very poorly and made me upset. The opening shot in particular, with the camera pulling focus from the floating bubble to Jake's face was probably the biggest offender, since it almost gave me a screaming headache when my eyes kept trying to focus on the now very out-of-focus bubble.

Personally, I see 3D as sticking around for a while (another 2-3 years), before fading into the background as a niche market, but I doubt it'll disappear entirely like the last few efforts at 3D movies have. The glasses are a big stumbling block, especially for anyone who already wears glasses (I wore my contacts to all three, knowing I was going to be wearing the glasses). Until that can be overcome, I don't think 3D will become any kind of standard, let alone requirement.

We'll have to see what nintendo starts doing. They've got the 3D with no glasses. Based on the success of the 3DS, they'll probably start making TVs or signing contracts with companies to use their technology,

The 3DS display technology (Parallax barrier from Sharp) wouldn't work well as a multi-viewer/general purpose TV since the viewer has to be in a particular area (right in front) to get the effect. It's being used in a different way, though, in the 2010 Range Rover. A GPS display is shown to the driver, while a movie (or whatever) is shown to the passenger.

Don't forget Sony is also making a glasses-less 3d system where they detect where your eyes are with cameras and dynamically adjust the display to you current position.

I'm sure that will work great when 2 people try to watch.

The first demo unit they have is good for either 2 or 3 people so far IIRC.

Have you seen the homebrew Wii head tracking? (Not saying this is what Sony will do. :P Just looks neat for a 2D display)

doki: that's amazing. From what I've heard, Sony's thing uses cameras and facial recognition software to see where your eyes are and it goes from there. No idea how they're actually making it work for multiple people, but they're claiming they can.

That sounds rather impressive then.
