Hell, they've had 3D features at Disneyland and places like that for years. For 30 minutes it entertains kids long enough for their parents to get a breather, for a feature film its a waste.
I think 3D could have worked if they did more movies with the approach to Avatar and filmed them as 3D movies. That said, I think the industry knew it couldn't ask theatres to invest in upgrading their equipment and then give them nothing. So all of the cheap effects that amounted to little more than the old red-blue technology being re-used were rushed out to justify the expense.
