About 14 years ago, ABC ran a week of programming in 3-D if I recall correctly. Shows like Home Improvement, The Drew Carey Show, etc, were all in 3D that week. Wendy's fast food chain even gave out 3-D Glasses for this event. Being younger at the time, it was really cool to see these things in 3-D. However, when I see those particular episodes in reruns in 2D it kind of looks silly because they were "throwing" things at the Camera. Someone tripped toward the camera and "threw" a bowl of popcorn at the camera. Things were flying toward the camera, etc. Of course, they did that on purpose.
With 3-D films, I look for things where if I weren't watching in 3-D (aka watching in 2-D) then I'm not going to notice anything. I watched Avatar just fine in 2-D. 3-D did not seem like a necessity to enjoying it. I saw a demo at Best Buy of Avatar in 3-D through 3-D glasses and it was really well done, but I ended up forgetting what was going on behind the special effects (as well done as it was.)
So, while I may or may not choose to see the new Star Trek 3-D, we all have the choice to watch it in 2-D as normal and not watch it in 3-D if we object. We are not going to be forced to see it in 3-D if we don't want. Others may choose to do that vice versa. However, 3-D is not going to be the "only" way to see the new Star Trek film, therefore I would have no objection to the film being produced with 3-D in mind, as long as one group is not excluded from the viewing pleasure they come to expect from their preferred format.
So when it comes to 3-D, why not?
