it reduces the colour and brightness from how the cinematographer intended
fast moving sequences break up and become almost impossible to follow, you lose information around the edges of the screen, it adds nothing to a story.
It's fine if you are going to the cinema for a novelty rollercoaster ride or perhaps a slow camera pan IMAX nature documentary which would definitely benefit from the added "I can almost reach out and touch it ness" but I've only ever seen it used as a gimmick which in some films completely detracts from an otherwise serious story.
For old style schlock horror (original Red and Green house of wax) it works, which is why I'm tempted to see Dredd for the slow motion gore.
The main reason for 3d films is to make cinema piracy harder. It's not for customer enjoyment/making film better.
