My first experience with the wonders of 3-Dimension viewing was on local tv. One weekend our local station had a promotion with a local fast food purveyor: they were giving away 3-D glasses with a purchase, usable to watch a special 3-D broadcast of "Creature From the Black Lagoon". I convinced my parents to get burgers there one night, got my glasses, and watched the film eagerly. To my dismay, however, the effect didn't work too well on a small screen, and double images were common.
A few years later I bought a very cool comic at a Chicago Comic Con; the first 3-D comic published, featuring Mighty Mouse. Now that was cool, and very effective. If you don't mind red and green images, that is.
In recent years, I've seen films such as "Ant-Man" and "Coraline" in 3-D, and they were incredible. Much more convincing with the polarized lenses. And yes, in some cases worth a couple extra dollars for the admission (Ant Man and the Thomas Train in 3-D was worth the price by itself).
What has been your impression of 3-D entertainment? Think outside the box and add a new dimension to our discussion today...
Oh, here's a scan of the first page of the Mighty Mouse 3-D book; for anyone who has a pair of red/green glasses available...
