The
history of 3D cinema goes back as far as 1900 but it wasn’t until the release
of ‘Bwana Devil’ in 1952 that it became popular with the paying public. The
craze died out by 1955. In the early 1980’s there was a small revival with
films such as ‘Comin’ at Ya!’ which I saw and wished I hadn’t.
The
recent revival is a great improvement on the previous incarnations of 3D but
may, in the not too distant future, be replaced by Lenticular 3D which can
currently produce 3D print images that do not require the viewer to wear
glasses.
Director
John Huston’s argument that effects in films were being used instead of good
story telling is still relevant and possibly getting more so these days.
