I wonder… A pair of polarized glasses and similarly polarized sheets placed in front of a of monitor should be all that’s needed, then generate left and right images on relevent side of the screen.

Aha! So, last night I had a better than typical cinema experience at Gloucester Cineworld. I watched Terminator Salvation which was actually much better than I was expecting and the picture quality was ok this time. Only ok mind you. Not sharp by any stretch. 35mm film may well have much higher resolution than any digital source but if your man on the projector hasn’t tweaked his lens right then the focus will be soft and all that resolution is for naught.
The good news is that it turns out this cinema does have one digital projector. I still haven’t managed to find anyone who can tell me which screen that is (if only because, the screen itself must be better quality than typical screens in order to work with the new 3d digital movies and so, I reason even if what’s playing is a film from a reel at least part of the setup must be improved).
It does seem as though the only way to be assured of seeing a digital film is to see a 3d one. TS, while chock full of CGI you would have thought would be showing in digital but now, only film.
A friend saw Bolt in 3D at the same cinema and tells me there was no blurring as was common in the first generation of polarised light 3d solutions and the experience was tremendous.
So, I hope to take the kids to see Ice Age 3 in 3d when that shows up later in the year. Previous Ice Age films were very watchable so I’m hoping this will be an all-new cinema experience for the whole family.
My eldest wears glasses… does that affect the 3d experience at all? My instinct says it shouldn’t so long as the polarized glasses fit over the regular ones.
