No, please do! Don't add 3D just for the gimmick of it or the trick of it though.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 comes to mind. I went with some people recently and most all the other people I talked to that saw it in 3D too said it was a waste to pay the extra money. Everyone says there was "nothing really" in 3D other than that one sword coming through the wall. The sword was the one "gimmick" to me.
Ironically, I thought it had one of the best 3D scenes in it. It's where they are in the hull of Blackbeard's ship. The scene is lit by one candle in the middle of a table and the 3D camera work is just beautiful. There is nothing fancy, nothing gimmicky, just people standing around this small table talking about a mutiny, but the inside of the ship comes alive, the people come alive, it brings something else that you just wouldn't feel otherwise in 2D. Like you're really there.
Thank god too, because for a few minutes you get to forget about the plot.;) But seriously. Sometimes depth for the sake of it is good. I think a lot of people won't see the point of 3D unless stuff is literally being thrown at them constantly. Which is the opposite of what a lot of us other people want.

Don't just add depth for the sake of it.
