I don't recall being impressed with the 3-D effect.
I would like to see a film employing the more modern technology just to see how much it adds to the film, or potentially subtracts from it. I doubt I will be that impressed as I would still prefer even an old film in B&W with good acting, script, and story, to film weak in these attributes but made with the latest innovations, including 3-D.

The underwater sequences in CFTBL are outstanding.
If you're wanting see a modern 3D film, I highly recommend 'Coraline'. 'How to Train Your Dragon' and 'Tangled' also made good use of 3D without it being too gimmicky.
The best way to use 3D is NOT to have a bunch of stuff flying into your face, but to use the technology to exploit the space the story takes place in.
'Avatar' is pretty to look at, and the 3D is impressive, but the story is so bland and derivative that I don't recommend it, especially not over the three films I mentioned.
