Encounter in the 3rd Dimension

Pros: An entertaining 3D showcase
Cons: It could benefit from more variety

Two dimensional films give us a reasonable approximation of reality. I mean, no one walks away from a regular film saying, "It was ok, but I would have liked it better if it hadn't been so flat." So three dimensional films don't really have a...

Pros: Great visual effects
Cons: Annoying side story

ENCOUNTER IN THE THIRD DIMENSION

Genre: IMAX film
Rating: Not rated
Running time: 45 minutes

Showcasing the best that 3-D filmmaking has to offer, "Encounter in the Third Dimension" mixes state-of-the-art...

Pros: Amazing way to watch a movie
Cons: The novelty can wear off after 30 min.

I live in an area where the local movie theaters have seats that are uncomfortable, close together and since I am tall, I tend to feel like I am blocking people's view. But, I found a solution, just a 30 minute drive to the north puts me in an area of...

Pros: Neat 3-D action
Cons: Need special 3-D glasses setup to view the 3-D, TOO SHORT

I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this DVD. It was neat and fun, but it was too short. It was definitely appropriate for family members of all ages (from just born on up). With Elvira as the hostess, I expected to make sure children under 7...

Pros: Well known actors narrate, Fascinating facts & content
Cons: Too short, The dreaded 3D glasses (but they come in 2 sizes)

This IMAX film is one of the best yet created. It contains historical information and then takes this newfound knowledge and uses it by entering you into a real 3D adventure. The choice of using well known persons to narrate was one which I believe...

Pros: story line
Cons: boring at first but improves

I seen this movie because it was a Imax offered at navy pier in chicago.
I would recommend this movie for anyone with small children. This is a family movie that has humor and special effects. The movie gives a history of 3-D movies. There is really...

Pros: amazing effects
Cons: boring in some parts

IT visually amazing. My friend felt sick, so if you aren't feeling that hot, or get sqermish at things like this then give it a miss. It's an awsume experience, but it shows one scene too many times and it kinda gets boring, so if it wasn't for the big...

Pros: Bundled with one or two other IMAX quick flics.
Cons: Predictable and no earth shattering 3D perspectives.

I was very excited to see this film since the dinosaur 3D film was pretty good (in that one the bones in the credits animate, pop out and flesh into the dinosaur ... plus it was 'lifesize').

This film didn't do anything new or novel, in fact the cheesy film about Sigfried and Roy in 3D was superior.

Save your money until it's out ON DEMAND or HD-TV channel.
