Avatar - see it in regular or 3D?

I saw it in 3D and it was AWESOME!!

It would still be awesome in regular but it did have some specialness in 3D that I enjoyed. I dont usually splurge for it but I wanted the experience so...

My first preference would be for digital, non-3D.

My second would be for RealD 3D. I can't do red/blue 3D because I don't have stereo vision (so I get some of the combined image and a lot of ghosting - a big headache), but the RealD wasn't bad - there were several cool effects, sort of like snow falling, and some good depth of field stuff like being in the trees and seeing what was in front and what was behind. My husband saw more features than I did, so YMMV. For about the next 24 hours, my eyes and brain were definitely fighting with each other, reading was fairly difficult.

My third would be for old-school film.

For most movies, I would skip the 3D, but Avatar is one of those movies that looks good digital. It's too bad the RealD 3D took away from some of the crispness of digital, which is what I was really hoping for, but it was better than film.
