It depends; the cheaper ones have passive 3d glasses (polarisation filters), the cinema nearby then sells them for €1 apiece. I have two of them at home. The fancier cinema, brand new etc, has Dolby Atmos and active 3D glasses - they hand those out and collect them when you enter and leave the room. The ticket price of those is higher though (€15 ish).

Active 3D meaning they alternate flipping the lenses black? I think I'd throw up if I tried to sit through 2 hours of that.

It means that one eye is polarized one way and the other eye the opposite.
