4-D MOVIES !

During spring break week, several weeks ago, Cindy & I took the g-kids to the movies. As we waited for the movie to start we watched the previews for upcoming movies.

We were quite enthralled at the number of 3-D movies coming out this summer. Of the...probably...5 previews they showed, I believe 3 of them were going to be in 3-D.

Popular in the 1950's when they were introduced, 3-D movies seemed to lose favor over the years and just never seemed to catch on with any regularity, becoming financial losses for the movie makers.

But in the last year, they have made a comeback, and several have been quite successful...the most recent being 'Avatar'. Other movie makers have caught the fever and have produced new movies or...as we found out...are getting ready to release them.

Although it's not a full-length release, the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago will be showing a 4-D movie short.

What's the 4th Dimension? The senses. Watchers will 'feel' the water...they'll 'feel' the ground shake.

Will this be the future in movie making? If so...I am NOT going to see the 4-D showing of 'Titanic' !
