    Has anyone bought their own? The other half complains that the sharp plastic molds on the cheap glasses the cinema sells cuts into her. It doesn't bother me too much but they aren't the most conformable things to wear for a couple of hours. As 3D looks like it here to stay for a while at the very least I'm looking into buying my own pair before Prometheus comes out.

    Can anyone recommend a comfortable pair of glasses that will work with RealD 3D films?

    It would be nice to have a "decently priced" pair that are comfortable. The local cinema has now started charging €1 for a new pair, but you can bring your own/old ones. I wear glasses anyway, so glasses on my glasses is rather annoying.

    word to the wise: if you really must view a film in 3d, seek out a dolby 3d screen. the image is soooooo much brighter and nicer. it's unfortunately not as popular as realD (the glasses are more expensive for the theatre) but it's worth the hassle :)

    £100 for a pair of 3D glasses? No thanks. I'm getting a bit old for that type of Oakely styling these days.

    Reald3d only where I live.

    My friend has done this, 3d films make him sick but he hates going alone to the 2d showings as all my friends go 'en mass' to the 3d ones. He's taken the same lenses from two sets of glasses and put them in same pair. 3D turned into 2D.
