I just saw "Monsters vs. Aliens" in 3D on a RealD screen last night. This is the third movie I've seen this way (Coraline and My Bloody Valentine), and I think it made the best use of the technology so far.
I'll be happy once the movies feel like they can get away from gee-whiz effects (in the opening scene of "Monsters", a guy is hitting one of those paddle with rubber-banded ball at the screen. Things like that are great for proving the tech, but are already starting to feel a little tired. Fortunately, "Monsters" got that out of the way really quickly, and settled into using 3D to actually improve the movie experience.
Asterra, I haven't seen anything other than RealD (that seems to be all that's available in my area), but it definately gives a satisfying experience, and doesn't really darken the screen very much.
