3-D movies refer to movies that feature the illusion of depth. This technology actually began in the 1890s. In recent times, we see its reincarnation in IMAX theaters and the movies these feature. 3-D movies present an unconquered realm in film-making, posing new challenges and greater expectations.
What's so special about 3-D movies
Because of the illusion of depth, 3-D movies are able to emphasize on certain elements of filmmaking. Apart from the dialogue and plot, 3-D movies come out as more visceral, more real. The viewer feels like he/she is part of the action.
Popular 3-D movies
In recent times, with the resurgence of 3-D movies through IMAX technology, some movies have stood out. This includes Ghost of the Abyss, credited as the first full-length 3-D IMAX film, by James Cameron. Other popular modern 3-D movies include The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, The Dark Knight, and Deep Sea.
3-D movies' appeal to the audience
The appeal of 3-D movies to the audience is certainly different. For one thing, viewers need to use specialized glasses for this. This alone can be a lot of fun. Plus, when watching 3-D movies, viewers feel like they’re part of the action. Thus, everything becomes more exciting and fulfilling.
