3D is unwatchable

I saw this at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and it's the first film I've ever walked out on. I expect to be challenged by Godard, but not nauseated by his cinematography.

We just saw the movie today at our local Art House The Loft Cinema.
I was concerned that it was my eyes or the glasses.
Parts of the 3D were crystal clear and very good, especially at the end.
The beginning of the movie I really had a difficult time adjusting to watching as well.
I think this movie would be best watched in 2 D.
Definately experimental and avante-guarde.

This effect was put to use in particular scenes. One of them being the nude couple - you can choose who to focus on, a little wink by Godard. Another example is when one camera pans with a character while the other stays - you can choose which image to follow by shutting one eye. Then the camera pans back when the character returns, and the image becomes one again. That scene drew an ovation at Cannes.

The two viewpoints in one shot sequence made me think I was having a stroke. What a load of merde.

As I already had the 3D glasses on, after 30 minutes of Godard's gibberish, I decided to watch "Captain Harlock, Space Pirate 3D" instead. I feel much better now.

I saw it on Netflix in 2D so I must have missed all of this stuff.
