My preference was for the 2-D, because I really don't like how 3-D forces you to focus on one aspect of the picture and turns the rest a bit fuzzy. (It's a bit like reading a book that already has highlighting in it; I don't want to be told where I should be looking.) That's not a criticism of this film in particular, but rather 3-D as a whole. I haven't yet seen the high-frame-rate version, though, so that might be different. I do plan to see it in that format soon.
