Similar experience with the latest Star Wars. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas years ago and it was all in focus (memory hazy here) and the 3D distance made it look like it was a play, on a stage. I absolutely loved it. I've never seen another 3D movie since that I thought was good for the same depth of field issues discussed.
In Australia, 3D is just designed to increase the cost of a movie ticket.
On Earth, 3D is just designed to increase the cost of a movie ticket.
I'm sure there is a galaxy close by where they are saying something similar...
