I went to see this today at first showing as well. There were only about 10 people in the audience, which is fine by me!!!

I can't speak to any technical aspects, but I don't think the 3D was all that great. There were a lot of segments of the movie where it was just people talking and there, the depth was adequate, but nothing more than average. But those really aren't the kind of scenes where 3D can shine. There were some scenes where the 3D was integral to the story telling, but they were a smaller part of the movie than I would have liked. These parts were great though. Overall for the $180 million budget, I wanted to be wowed. I wasn't. I would have liked to have seen more elements of the story where the 3D could have been utilized and allowed to stand out.

The previews were numerous though, and there are a lot of good looking 3D movies coming this spring and summer:

Epic - awesome preview can't wait for this one
the Croods - looks pretty good, not interested in the storyline though
GI Joe - lots of action, pretty good looking 3D
Man of Steel - looks great, lots of action, good story
Despicable Me - awesome preview with cool pop outs (LOVE that)
Oz the Great and Powerful - awesome preview can't wait for this one
Jurassic Park - looks pretty good for a remix (is that the proper technical term?) LOL

Anyway, just my $.02.

Other sources are saying $195 million. Yikes! I presumed the budget was much smaller from seeing the trailers like 60-70 million.
