For TV 3-D systems a refresh rate of approx 120 times per second it would be unlikely to cause seizures as the eye/brain only sees flicker below approx 30 hz. At IMAX it is polarized images with no flicker other than normal movie shutter rate.

I find it is the weight of the glasses that can give me headaches. However, I have also worn safety glass which give me headaches.

If you don't like it don't watch it. Unfortunately they will be some nanny out there who wants to make sure nobody enjoys something they do not enjoy.

“And epileptic seizures are set off in the vulnerable.”

I recently watched “Tron:Legacy” at an IMAX theater in 3D. I never had any problems and thought the 3D effect was great! The movie was pretty decent, also.

That would be a little weird to be watching a movie in 3D and the guy next to you starts have a grand mal seizure.

Next thing you know Weird Al’s song, “Nature Trail To Hell (in 3D)” will come true.
