If you go, don't see it in 3D - it's annoying and crap. Apparently it was filmed in standard 2D and "3D-ified" afterwards. Mostly there's almost no 3D apart from stupid shit like having the back of people's hair appear a bit further away, so it looks like they're standing in front of a hair cutout. I have no idea what was going through their heads there. There's maybe one bit where the 3D even slightly improves it (in the Medusa scene) and it's irritating for the rest of the time.
Edit: I went to the press screening last night, a friend had some tickets.
You're really just a cranky old man, aren't you?

The 3D wasn't up to Avatar standards, and there were parts where the countryside in panorama shots seemed to undulate like a rat under a rug, but it makes the movie more fun. What would the scorpion scene be without 3D?
Just put on the Roy Orbison glasses and enjoy.
