3-D or not 3-D, that is the question

AAUGH Blog reader Jason asks me whether he should see The Peanuts Movie in 3-D.

Here’s my reaction: you really don’t have to… but for the exact same reason you don’t have to, you can. Most of the film isn’t using the 3-D in any aggressive ways. Things aren’t springing out of the screen to poke you in the eye. It’s in full use during the dogfight scenes, which are not an insignificant part of the movie, but beyond that it generally just makes the background richer. So you won’t be missing much, I’d estimate, if you don’t see it in 3-D, but if like me you’re a person that strong use of 3-D can be wearing on, you don’t have to avoid it.

(In contrast, the Ice Age short that plays before the film really pushes the 3-D nature of it.)
