Boggman "Encounter in the third dimension" contains a pretty neat concept......Let's film a 3-D documentary IN 3D about the history of 3D and 3D movies, throw in some clips of classic 3D movies and mix them with the latest and greatest in computer animated 3D virtual reality! AWESOME!The movie has some great old footage, and is very informative while being consistently entertaining. A nice job all the way through- even though Elvira is grossly underused!! I can not wait to see what else NWAVE pictures has up their sleeve. They are definitely on the cutting edge of 3D home entertainment. I have yet to see anything that rivals "Encounter", "Alien Adventure" or "Haunted Castle" on the 3D market!Very well done! Do not watch this in 2D, however; highly recommended for 3D lovers!!!

jomax So who cares if the plot's sketchy and repetitive, and the dialogue childish? It's the spectacle here that counts. And it really works; the superbly detailed CG chamber where the action takes place, the lighting and textures are lovely and highly detailed and the animation is excellent - especially during the phenomenal roller-coaster ride to the centre of the earth simulator sequence. On the downside, there is a lot of strobing on some fast moving scenes (lack of motion blur), and not all of the elements hold together (but these are minor complaints). Topped of with a suitably wacky number from Elvira, it's easy going fun with 3-D that benefits from the visually all-encompassing IMAX format.

Elias-6 Encounter the in Third Dimension was really unsatisfying and boring. The film itself is almost completely rendered using CGI. This shouldn't be the problem, but the style reminded my somehow of a computer game. The plot is bad and the effects are boring as the surreal environment always keeps a distance between screen and the audience

ff2fan Encounter in the third dimension is my first IMAX-3D film I've seen and it was great I loved Elvira's Song Haunted House and the 3-D was amazing. The story was interesting and the little robots were very cool everyone in the theatre even stayed for the credits. Go and see this movie soon!
