What’s old is new again. So too with 3-D technology, the relic from the early 50s. Not just sequestered in science museums and IMAX theaters, 3-D is making a huge comeback, and it’s been a long time coming. The New York Times predicted a return of 3-D back in 2002. Last month, NYT revisited the topic after it got a lot of attention at the CES Show.
Last weekend’s SuperBowl highlighted just a few examples of today’s resurgence of 3-D technology. Here is a sample of the latest offerings from TV, movies and advertising:
Movies:
- My Bloody Valentine 3D (out now)
- Coraline (opens Friday)
- Under the Sea 3D (Feb. 11)
Check out MarketSaw for a complete list of upcoming 3D movies.
