Invented as both a marketing gimmick and a way to give a more realistic depth of field, 3-D filmmaking has thrilled movie audiences for years. This journey through the history of 3-D includes clips of the earliest attempts at 3-D through to today's IMAX three dimensional extravaganzas. Stuart Pankin and a robot sidekick host this eye-popping tour originally shown in the IMAX format. M.A.X. the Robot is especially excited to show a music video featuring someone who can test the very limits of 3-D, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. After several comedic mishaps, the film delivers this video for a song about a haunted house as a grand final stroke. A special section on the James Cameron theme park ride, TERMINATOR 2 3-D is a highlight. Narrated by Harry Shearer, this feature can be viewed both in 3-D and 2-D. [More]
