I remember going to Epcot center back around 91 with some buds and seeing the aging Michael Jackson 3-D Whatever it was ride/movie and at the time sitting there seeing asteroids floating right in front of my face, it was amazing. I was literally reaching out to these things.

I know awesome 3-D is possible, That was almost 20 years ago. I guess it all depends on how it’s pulled off....

I remember in the early 1980's, they tried 3D on regular TV using the old red/blue color system like they did in the 1950's. It worked relatively well, first on my 1970 Zenith (as long as I had the convergence adjusted, it was a pain in the butt on that set sometimes) and then on my 1982 Zenith, the TV I still use to this day.

I think you're talking about Captain EO. I was out in LA when it came out and had I went a day later to Disney World, I would have seen Michael Jackson perform the first show. Bummer. B-( I could have been at the Apollo 11 launch in 1969, but it seems like I always miss these things by a kitten's whisker.

I also saw "Friday the 13th, Part III" in 3D back in 1982, they used the polarized light system then, it was funny at times where the kids were in the back of the van smoking marijuana and you see this hand with a joint come out at you. Naturally everyone, including me, reached out for it as a joke.

Myself, I'm a man of limited means, my 1982 Zenith will have to do me for a long time to come, it has been in use daily since 1983.

Here in the Boston area back in ‘81-82ish the local station pushed the 3D movie “Gorilla At Large” for months all summer.
It was a HUGE promotion around here at the time because it was 3-D!

Finally the big night came, I sat mesmerized in front of my tv with my 3-D glasses on and......pffffff.
It sucked.

I do remember Friday the 13th, Part III in 3D.
That was a big deal at the time and pretty cool.

It’s funny watching it on tv nowadays seeing all those “in your face” scenes meant for the 3-D effects.
