This was originally released in 1966 at 112 mins in Spacevision 3-D, which made use of the polarized system and clear grey glasses. In 1976, a shorter version running 91 mins was released widely under the title "Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth." Theoriginal polarized version had incredible 3-D, but this is a "downconverted" anaglyph version which uses the red and vlue type of glasses. The effect is not nearly as good, but it does work significantly better than Rhino's "Comin at Ya" DVD. The film is kind of slow and it has been compared to an overlong episode of "The Twilight Zone" which is an accurate description. It does manage to hold some interest for sci-fi fans, however.

A collection of three Video Cassettes, of which two movies were originally in 3D.

Creature From The Black Lagoon
In this trend-setting classic, a scientific expedition ventures into the upper reaches of the Amazon and discovers a "Gill Man," a living amphibious missing link. The scientists drug and capture the creature, who enamored with the head scientist's female assistant (Julia Adams). But the lonely creature escapes and kidnaps the object of his affection while she swims seductively in his watery home. The chief scientist (Richard Carlson) launches a crusade to retrieve his assistant and casts the creature from the black to the black depths from which he came from. Well-acted and directed, and with Bud Westmore's brilliantly designed monster, Creature From The Black Lagoon is an enduring tribute to the imaginative genius of it's Hollywood creators.

Revenge Of The Creature
The Creature From the Black Lagoon "resurfaces" when he is captured in his Amazonian hom by a team of researchers and transported to a holding tank in a Florida marine park. Once imprisoned, the "Gill Man" becomes the subject of crude and cruel experiments conducted by his supposedly superior human captors. But the tormented creature begins to emerge as a hauntingly beatiful alien, and a female researcher (Lori Nelson) forms an uneasy emotional link with him, as her own doubts about career vs. motherhood parallel the Creature's feelings of alienation and confinement. Soon they are both driven to break free of their respective "prisons" with exciting results. Revenge of the Creature is full of surprises, not the least of which is Clint Eastwood in his first screen appearance as a technician who has trouble holding onto a laboratory mouse.

The Creature Walks Among Us

This was the last film in the "Creature" trilogy, not in 3D.

Two of these are the 2D video versions of 3D-movies!!!

Archetypal 50s monster movie has been copied so often that some of the edge is gone, but story of Amazon expedition encountering deadly Gill-Man is still entertaining, with juicy atmosphere, luminous underwater photography sequences directed by James C. Havens. Originally in 3D, but just as good without it.

Frederick Knott's suspense play of man plotting wife's murder and subsequent police investigation: stagey at times but slick and entertaining. Filmed in 3D.

The dinosaur animation is rudimentary (nothing like 'Jurassic Park' or 'Walking With Dinosaurs') and the video quality variable. Mainly useful as a demonstration of the Pulfrich effect (darker images take longer to reach the brain): the 3D sequences are quite successful.

Join Stuart Pankin and Elvira Mistress of the Dark on a groundbreaking venture into the realm of 3-D filmmaking, where captivating computer generated imagery mixed with live action thrills abound. Encounter early incarnations of the third dimension, from a recreation of one of the earliest 3-D movies ever made to classic clips from Hollywood's 3-D heyday during the 1950s to modern creations such as James Cameron's theme park attraction, Terminator 2: 3-D. Experience the wildest 3-D adventure ever created for the giant screen!

This video uses the Pulfrich effect for 3D, meaning that with glasses that have one dark lens objects that have backgrounds moving sideways across the screen have the illusion of of 3D. Only some of the scenes use this effect. And although some of the quality is good, a lot of this video is filler with not enough time of the women on the screen.

Includes 3D-glasses

Hudson goes after men who have kidnapped his fiancée (Reed); formidable villainy, beautiful Arizona locations. Originally shown in 3D.

This is the 2D video version of a 3D-movie!!!

A young musician is summoned to his mother's castle in accordance with her final wishes. Upon his arrival, Johnny quickly discovers that things are not as they appear. The castle begins to come alive as materializing spirits lead him to Mephisto (voiced by Harry Shearer), the ghoulish henchman to Mr. D (also Harry Shearer), who makes Johnny a tantalizing offer. The same offer that his mother accepted over twenty years earlier: surrender your soul in exchange for fame and fortune. Experience a whirling visual thrill ride as Johnny explores the underworld of the castle to the explosive climax where Johnny confronts Mr. D and fights to free his mother's spirit.

A technical masterpiece of 3D, "House of Wax" is the story of a talented wax sculptor and his hyper-realistic creations. After his original works are destroyed by fire, this madman transforms fresh corpses into lifelike works of art.

Intriguing science-fiction based on a Ray Bradbury story. An alien ship crashes in the Arizona desert; its passengers assume the identities of nearby townspeople so they can effect repairs unnoticed--they think. Remarkably sober for its era, with crisp performances and real restraint, even in its use of 3D.

Hilarious! It's great to watch this on video - you can TELL where the 3-D scares of the theatrical presentation were supposed to be, which makes it all the more humorous.

Cole Porter, Shakespeare, and 3-D: Not the usual recipe for an MGM musical, but hey--it works. Although it runs hot and cold, this 1953 take on Porter's delightful Broadway smash lets a chewy cast gorge on some terrific songs and show-biz in-jokes. Think of the plot as His Girl Friday in greasepaint: vain star Howard Keel wants to lure ex-wife Kathryn Grayson back to the boards with a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. The movie's weakness is too much Shakespeare, not enough backstage backbiting (and why are two of the best numbers, "So in Love" and Ann Miller's zippy "Too Darn Hot," confined to a prologue?). Then there's the tendency to throw things at the camera--3-D, what hath you wrought? The candy-store color design is great fun, and Tommy Rall and future dance titan Bob Fosse are turned loose for some sensational leaps. Now that's "Wunderbar." Originally in 3D.

This is the 2D video version of a 3D-movie!!!

Bright filmization of Cole Porter's Broadway musical, adapted from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Grayson and Keel are erstwhile married couple whose off-stage and on-stage lives intertwine. Songs include "So in Love', "Always True to You in My Fashion'', "Brush Up Your Shakespeare'' (delightfully performed by Wynn and Whitmore); the "From This Moment On'' number, highlighting Fosse and Carol Haney, is outstanding. Originally in 3D.

Animated Magic Eye Images.

Using IMAX. 3-D and conventional IMAX 2-D to provide a whole new way of looking at our past, Stephen Low's large format film "MARK TWAIN'S AMERICA" interweaves the life and times of Mark Twain with the lives of current day enthusiasts who revel in the inventions and way of life of the 19th century. Utilizing archival stereo-optic photos from The University of California-Riverside/California Museum of Photography, powerful images from the past seemingly come alive in a larger-than-life presentation that takes full advantage of the large screen format. Archival photos representative of Twain and what he saw and experienced in his time are juxtaposed against scenes of actual present day recreations of that era.

Narrated by Anne Bancroft, we find that Twain lived during an exciting period of great social, political and technological change and his life was greatly shaped by many of these developments. Amongst them was the invention of the steam engine and the effects it had on the world. Sharing in their pursuit of this time gone by, we visit with a steamtrain engineer, Mike Tackett, who rides across the western frontier with his nin year-old son in tow and a life-long steamboat enthusiast, Captain Denis Trone, who like Twain steers up the mighty Mississippi in a steamboat that he built himself.

Twain initially set out on his successful writing career at a young age as a printer's apprentice in Hannibal, Missouri. However, it was his boyhood dream to pilot a steamboat and he worked the river until the Civil War stopped all boat traffic on the Mississippi. Twain joined the Confederate Army briefly before he decided to seek his fortunes in the silver mines of the American west. In further exploring this dramatic time, we see how every year in Antietam Maryland, 15,000 men and women passionately re-enact one of the Civil War's most famous battle scenes. In Montreal, the descendants of slaves who escaped to Canada perform in a gospel choir singing songs reminiscent of African folk songs sung by their ancestors during the Civil War.

Known for the classic novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, Twain's humorous writings developed from his observations of small town life as well as his travels around the world. In his hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, a Fourth of July Parade pays tribute to many classic scenes from his novels by holding contests for the best "Tom & Becky look-a-likes" and the best "fence-painting." In Virginia City, Nevada, modern day cowboys enjoy a live guitar-strumming quartet in a saloon that also was frequented by Twain in his day. Young couples of today sway to the two-step as a brass band plays on authentic 19th century instruments, in an old-fashioned ballroom dance of yesterday.

Spanning two centuries, "MARK TWAIN'S AMERICA" presents one of the most dynamic on-screen chronicles of the human experience. Twain enjoyed enormous success but also experienced great failures and tragedy. He incurred a large debt as the result of investments in failed patents and suffered the loss of almost his entire family, with the deaths of his wife, his son and two of his three daughters. "MARK TWAIN'S AMERICA" contrasts the complexity of the human spirit and the wonders of the world in which we live, that have remained constant over time, from the 19th century to today.

(Field-Sequential 3D)

Developed by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), the artistically-inspired and technologically-innovative film TRANSITIONS was produced as the first ever IMAX 3D movie for the Canadian Pavilion at Vancouver's EXPO '86 and is now known as the ancestor of three-dimensional entertainment as we know it.

The film highlights a century of incredible advances in transportation and communication. The excitement of conquering great distances, the satisfaction of overcoming isolation for people in a vast land and the growth of commerce are shown at their best while celebrating the art and technology of cinema, skilfully interweaving incredible 3D effects, helicopter logging and a charming 3D teddy bear parade. Some of the bonus features include director Colin Low's unique insight into the challenges of shooting a three dimensional movie and original storyboard sketches.

Did you ever want to get so close to a mama tyrannosaur that you could pat her scaly reptilian snout? Now you'll know what that's like, thanks to aspiring paleontologist Ally Hayden (Liz Stauber), the teenage heroine of the 1998 IMAX film T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous. Ally's dino-expert father (Peter Horton) has just returned from his latest dig with a fossilized T. rex egg, and when Ally accidentally cracks the egg in her dad's museum laboratory, a puff of mysterious smoke catapults her back to the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs-- especially T. rex--ruled the Earth. With her imagination in full flight (along with an astonishingly realistic pterodactyl), Ally confirms the dinosaur theories of her own speculative research, and she also encounters pioneering dinosaur illustrator Charles Knight (Tuck Milligan) and legendary paleontologist Barnum Brown (Laurie Murdoch). Best of all, she comes face to face with a maternal tyrannosaur, earning its respect by protecting one of its incubating eggs.

T-Rex won't be as effective on DVD (where the IMAX 3-D effects are amusingly pointless), but it's guaranteed to please anyone who enjoyed the similarly astounding CGI effects of Walking with Dinosaurs. Stauber is a refreshingly normal teen star, and although much of the dialogue sounds like it was cribbed from a grade-school science text, its educational value is perfectly matched to the wonders of Ally's prehistoric adventure. Director Brett Leonard previously helmed the pioneering FX flick The Lawnmower Man, and here he demonstrates a warmer, more accessible sense of wonder for kids and parents alike. At 45 minutes, this IMAX dazzler never wears out its welcome.
