NASA Boosted 3-D Movies Coming to a Theater Near You

(New York, NY) NASA-Boosted 3-D movies coming to a theater near you!

Maybe you thought they'd never get here. However, it looks like NASA will be the catalyst spark, if you will, for bringing 3-D movies to the movie-going public.

And not the ones your grandparents and parents sat through yesteryear. You know the ones if you were a part of that era, or know anything about those movies which half of everyone there argued with the other half that, "if I can see it you should be able to see it too." Or the other comment floating around just as much as those funky-colored glasses did at the time, "Maybe it's my glasses. I think it's the glasses, they don't work for me. I see something, but I don't know."

A 3-D technology developed to help NASA astronauts practice making repairs in space is set to revolutionize the way people watch movies by 2009, when a wave of live-action 3-D movies hit theaters. (Reuters) And by all accounts the 3-D studio industry is ready for it. So this time around, there won't be too much of a need for those complaints of eye-strain and headaches as well, like the last couple of times the 3-D show rolled onto the American scene.

These 3-D movies, unlike how unwatchable 3-D movies were in the past, are as real as it's ever been. The past couple of failed attempts that this thing called "3-D" tried to make its way into the landscape of American culture can be archived away into historical oblivion, now. Not that they weren't nearly there already.

While in very recent years a number of studios have and professionals have been steadily working the 3-D angle, it is with the help of the same technology NASA used, that seems to swing the pendulum of favor toward the studio and theater industries. The 3-D wave in the movie industry has come up quicker, larger, and better than ever before in its attempts to become a part of the American landscape. The wave is growing so fast that nearly every large movie studio has at least a one, more than likely a couple, of 3-D titles in production.
