IMO the movie is so worth the watch, if only for the visual effects and ideas. And indeed, it was a challenge to get Genesis to this point! 
I'm glad I saw it first in the theater in 3D -- the visuals and effects just blew me away! I've watched it probably three more times since and it's still just as good and inspirational.
I unfortunately have missed it in 3D, but I have it on my hard disk now. And I make sure that I won't miss the sequel!
The "Alien" franchise has been my favorite forever! I'm right there with you on the next installment.
