Anyone else with 1 eye only? (3D related)

It's a pretty good question really, most films also show in 2D.

lol @ the 2D glasses. Last 3D movie I watched was the new Transformers one and it was a blurry mess. Watched it at Vue.
I take it you're one of the plonkers who wears 2D glasses to a 3D movie then?
I made an edit
I have two eyes but my brain never learnt to interpret the images together, so I lack steroscopic vision (I can conciously switch between which eye I am focusing out of). 3D seems very underwhelming to me but that is to be expected.
To be fair though I do have a lot of trouble playing with a rest in snooker - when the cue tip is that far away from me I can't judge the depth so sometimes foul while cueing.
Interesting you should say that as I sometimes cite pool as being a game that I can play due to it being played on a 2d plane (compared to ball sports where the ball can be in the air, I think I'm underneath it but actually it will land 5ft behind me).

because you're seeing 1 frame of image then 1 frame of black screen then one of image then one of black so on (the filter closed = black) so the effect will be darker over all.
I'll just drop this here

I still don't understand why anyone would ever waste their money on those 2D glasses. The only time I can see them being needed is if you go to watch a 3D movie with a group of friends but in that situation surely your friends would either just not invite you, or watch the 2D version instead. If 3D gave me a headache or eye strain I wouldn't be going to watch 3D films in the first place so what the hell?!

It's to allow you to watch 3D films comfortably and not ruin the experience for your friends/family by making them watch it in 2D for you. Though to be fair they'd be saving money and it would look better if they went to the conventional one.

Strong case of Amblyopia here for me meaning if I have both eyes open I'm effectively blind in one eye - no 3D for me!
The odd thing is I was awesome at rounders/baseball when at school - they couldn't understand how I could consistently hit the ball the furthest with one working eye. I suppose if like other impairments - your other senses strengthen up to compensate.

No it wouldn't, the cinema 3d systems are passive and based on polarised light.
I know how they work, you still aren't making it clear why it would be darker with only one eye. Each eye receives an image that is equally bright, as your eyes do watching a normal 2d film, close one of your eyes, does everything suddenly get darker? No, so why would it with only one eye and a 3d film?
My brain also only utilises one eye, in my case my left eye is the one that is used.
Mine occurred due to a different reason, i was kicked in the head when i was younger and it damaged the muscles that hold the eye in position.
It wasnt until early last year when i went in to the doctors complaining of head/eye ache that i was sent to the hospital for tests where they found that i had a type of cancer behind my eye, so when i had the operation to remove that they also repaired the muscles that were damaged.
Unforunately after recovering i have found that my brain prefers to use my left eye rather than both together.
With regards to 3D films i just dont go to see them, it really doesnt bother me to see the 2D version especially after what i have read about the 3D being generally pretty terrible anyways.
