First 3D Sighting

The other day we went to go see one of my favourite movie series. Final Destination 5. While wasting 20 minutes before the movie began, I saw one of those cardboard 3D cutout promotion posters as I was descending the escalators. It was not until I was about 6 feet from the ‘poster’, I noticed that in fact it wasn’t one of those cardboard cutouts, but instead a flat backlit image that really was in 3D! Now I’ve seen these before, when you move your head side to side, and there is a slight difference in the image as you cut the two angles giving the illusion of 3D … but now the 80s are over and this was truly impressive. Not only is the poster design awesome, and depicts the opening disaster scene (which is always the best in these movies), but for my first 3D experience, without the use of glasses, made me believe that there are a lot more things to come.
