> [@knoodler](#): > > The first (and to date, only) movie I watched in 3-D as an adult. The theater charged $7.50 for special glasses that we turned in after the show. Were they actually policing you turning them in? I have walked out with a few that were supposed to be turned in to be autoclaved (not at the theater) and reused (at least that’s what we were told). I walked out with them so I’d have them when 3D things popped up on TV from time to time. I didn’t pay a separate price for them, though-- just the additional 3D fee. ---

There was an usher standing outside the theater entrance (within a larger mutliplex) collecting the glasses. I probably could’ve kept the glasses but I didn’t see the purpose of it. I wasn’t that impressed with the effects. During the movie I removed the glasses a couple of times, it seemed as good or better without the 3-D effects. When I was a kid I loved watching 3-D movies, even the low-budget ones. ---

So, no refund of the 3-D glasses fee if you turned them in afterwards? ---
