...At the Regal Theaters Santa Cruz 9 , at 3 PM , there were 10-or-so folks in line for The Hobbit...I asked one person whether she was going to see the 3-D version or flat and she said that she wasn't sure...

I have heard that some of the 3-D versions have been giving people eye-strain and migranes. But I'm not sure why the frame rate would matter...
I don't go to the movies much, and I've avoided seeing any of the new batch of 3D films. This article (quoting a letter from an opponent) and this article (by a cautious proponent) have information on how they work and what the problems with them are.
I don't go to 3D movies myself. They almost always give me a headache, so I feel it is kind of ridiculous to pay more for a movie to get a headache. Plus, I've never just been blown away by the 3D that I ever thought it was worth it.
3D hurts my eyes.
Your last reason is the reason I'm not interested in seeing one, Travis. I saw a short 3D film when an exhibit of items from ancient Egypt toured here last year. The 3D element just didn't make a big difference to me.
I thought the 3-D was worth it in Thor. The Rainbow bridge was fantastic!
...Are there going to be either of the advertised two more Jackson-Speiberg TINTIN films ?????????
Frankly , tho the first was --- OK --- but , given my movie money situation at the moment ( Which - if yon fans but KNEW ...........) is a fairly safe , uh , bet...I don't think I'd paythe movie prices I've got to pay to see 'em .

I managed to see the King Tut exhibit when it his Philly in late 2008. Also saw a film that accompanied it, at the IMAX theatre in the same building. I don't think it was in "3D", but the modern version of Cinerama was impressive enough. (It's my understanding that the same company responsible for Cinerama films in the 50's & 60's evolved into doing specialty films for theme parks, and nowadays, IMAX theatres.)
...A late friend of mine , Henry , was quite fond of these " world's fair " IMAX films of the sort you're referring to , we both lived in San Francisco in the early 2000s and he went to those - non-feature-length/standard hollywood - films a lot at a nearby 'plex that had Imax .
I saw Raimi's SPIDER-MAN II in an Imax theater - Technically , I guess - In a correct ratio , I presume . - blown up to Imax , simply because I'd moved slow on seeing it and no more normal screens were showing it at the moment .
Since then , IIRC , such showings of " normal " flicks in Imax have been branded " The Imax Experience " or omething - It wasn't that then .
When that relatively el floppo Tim Burton remake of PLANET OF THE APES came out in '01 , I bought Imax tickets when the regular show was sold out...Then , was able to trade/money down to normal , after all .
