Movie Info

This program offers a short history of the 3-D film and offers some commentary on what might be a regeneration of the idea, updated with modern technology, of course. 3-D ruled the drive-ins of the '50s and '60s providing viewers with vicarious thrills at horror and sci-fi extravaganzas. This film offers a look back at some of the greatest moments from those films, hosted by the lovely Elvira. The program also looks at what the future of the genre might be as computer generation makes the idea that much more viable.

Critic Reviews for Encounter in the Third Dimension

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (2)

While the film promises a tour through the history of stereoscopic effects, the survey is pretty cursory, with a lot of old Stereopticon cards and clips from 3-D movies from the form's early 1950s heyday like Bwana Devil (1952).

The film is ... not so much a satisfying story as it is a fun loving promise of things to come in the world of IMAX in 3-D.

Contains some vertiginous visions that can truly be labeled 'state-of-the-art.'
