Can I watch a 3D movie with only one functional eye? I want to watch Avatar but don't want to shell out the money to experiment.

3D Movies with only one eye

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. With one eye you loose perspective and I think what the 3D glasses do with the blue and red is give your eyes false perspective to make you think it's 3D.

Let me rephrase my question. Can I watch a 3D movie and still see 3D? I WANT TO SEE AVATAR DAMN IT!
Your mother told you that you would go blind if you kept beating off. Be thankful its only one eye.
I was born without sight in one eye asshole. If you're kidding, I'm sorry for the name calling. If you're not. WTF is wrong with you.

how is it more 2D than what you normally see with 1 eye, since 3D perspective requires two distinct reference points?
I think to answer your question, watching a 3D movie with the 3D glasses will work just fine, I dont think you'll notice much difference than if you watch a regular 2D version.... With 3D glasses on, in a 3D movie, I can close or cover one eye and it won't be blurry or distorted. If I go without the glasses, with both eyes open, or even with one eye closed, it WILL be blurry/distorted.... so just wear the glasses and enjoy the movie...

The question is will it still have the 3D effect. Depth perception which is what I think you are talking about does require two distinct points of reference. However I still have depth perception which is why I am asking the question.

You won't ever see anything in 3D with only one eye. Even real life. It's like trying to hear in stereo with only one ear.

Since you were born without sight in one eye, you've never seen anything in 3D. Why would a movie be different? I can't even think of a way to describe what 3D is in a way that would make sense to you.
You know how you're sometimes surprised at the distance socks, shoes or, light switches are in a dimly lit room (so that it's difficult to make comparisons between things close to you) without reaching out to touch them? Now imagine being able to judge distances with just a glance. That's 3D.
I can judge distances with just a glance. I can see. I drive and everything.

Homer lost his eye in an accident and couldn't
afford the price of a glass eye. So he carved one out
of wood. But he was so self-conscious that he never
left the house.
Finally, his friend Eddy came over and forced him to
go out. "There's a dance over at the club," he said.
"So what if one of your eyes is made out of wood?"
"All right," said Homer, "but if anybody makes fun
of my eye I'm leaving."
He went to the dance and stood around, trying to
build up his courage. And then he saw a woman standing
alone in the corner. She was very attractive, but she
had a hunchback.
"She's worse off than I," Homer thought. "The
least I can do is ask her to dance.
He walked across the crowded dance floor and
approached the girl. "Would you care to dance?" he
asked.
"Would I?!" she exclaimed.
"Fuck you" he shouted, "Gawd-dammed hunchback bitch!"
As I replied earlier, you can watch the movie, but you WILL NOT get the 3-D effects with only one eye.
(do you not grasp the concept of 3-D nor how it works?)

Not true, parallax (from movement) allows depth perception even with one eye. This doesn't work in 3D movies though.

Your brain makes a guess based on comparisons to other objects of known size but, you do not have depth perception. If you found yourself in an unknown environment, you would be unable to judge distances and size without touching them. You can prove it to yourself by looking at pictures of unfamiliar animals that have no reference objects you are familiar with. Take a guess as to their size and then look up their actual dimensions.

in my post I wasn't really referring to depth perception... sure we all can mostly sorta tell how far things are with one eye closed
in the 3d movies, with two eyes, it is as though the screen is actually really extended past the screen.... and items actually project closer to your face than where the screen starts... think... back to the future 2, where JAWs comes out towards marty...
in a 3D movie with the 3d glasses with one eye closed... that affect is lost, so no you wont be able to fully enjoy the 3D aspect of the film... sorry

It's not the same.
But I wonder... http://www.moillusions.com/2007/07/stereo-animated-3d-illusions.html
I bet you could get the effect from those just fine. In fact, would it be possible to shoot a movie in 3D at a high enough FPS that you could trick the brain into essentially processing both stereo images simulatenously? Thus giving the 3D illusion sans glasses? I guess with close-ups the angle might be two great and the image would look jumpy. But who knows.

Ding ding ding! If I had money I'd bet this is how the OP is able to see depth with only one eye, and I don't see how the 3D version of the movie could convey any more or less depth in this way.

i sent you a pm
personally, i'm certain it wouldn't work... but if you have to prove it to yourself, go along with my pm.
