You need to calm down a bit. I saw the Panasonic 3D demoed at best buy and I would say the 3D image quality was better than the theatres. Do you visit the HDGuru website? He reviewed the panny 3D tv and ALSO states the 3d quality is better than what he saw at the theatres. Here is the link to the review:

Let me quote "Overall, I find the 3D image outstanding with considerably more brightness and pop than the motion picture theater 3D movie experience."
So no, you do not need a movie theatre sized screen to enjoy the 3D as this tv is only 50 inches. Do some research before spouting out nonsense.
And yes some movies have 3D added later which can be gimmicky, but I saw saw How To Train Your Dragon in 3D and the 3D was absolutely amazing and added to the experience in a big way, especially the 3D flying scenes.
As 3D becomes more popular (it already has, I saw Avatar, Alice in Wonderland and HTTYD all within a month) there will be more competition to create better and better 3D effects.
Also, I know sony plans on doing 3D gaming with the ps3 which can add to gaming in a big way.
It seems a lot of people are mad about 3D and I dont understand why. If you like 2D, watch 2D and be quiet. All 3D blurays will play the 2D version on a regular 2d screen, so why all the hate? If you want it buy it, if not you can enjoy everything in 2D and don't have to be bothered with 3D so why bother hating?
I think some people are just really mad because they recently bought new equipment and now 3D is out and they don't have the money to buy another new tv. Once someone buys a 2000-3000$ tv they most likely will not be buying one for another few years, which makes sense why people are so mad. They just bought a 2-3K TV before 3d was out and they know they will not be able to get a new tv for another few years, so they hate on 3D.
Why else would you hate on it? If you were happy with your 2D TV purchase and you dont like and don't want anything to do with 3D, why would you even care enough to write why you hate and dislike 3D on a forum? It makes no sense. 3D blu ray are BC with 2d players, so there is no reason for hate unless you're jealous.
Some people are frustrated, they got a new tv, 3d came out, and now they know they can't upgrade for a few yrs because most people are not gonna buy another 2-3K tv for a few yrs, so they hate. Sorry, but if you really were satsified with your 2D setup and considering 3D blu ray is completely backwards compatible and will play in your 2D setup there would be NO reason to even care about 3D, yet alone take the time to comment your hatred for it in an online forum.
