"Because I don't like gimmicky depth, distraction from the story, and worse dynamic range, and I'm not 5 years old to care for floating Ice Age characters...".

5yr olds aren't supposed to use the tehnology...possibly can cause developmental problems with 3d perception.

5 year olds are seeing in 3D 24X7 already. Sounds fishy.

3D movies aren't real 3D, they leverage a subset of what we have learned to judge depth by independent of (and inconsistent with) other depth cues.

I can certainly see how too much early exposure would actually interfere with the development of the usual association of cues that support perception of distance.

Citation? It's hard to believe that watching a 3D movie even once per week would have any negative developmental effect.
