3D IS  definitely the IN thing today; everything is going 3D. Why not? We appreciate things better if they appear to be real, don’t we? That is true especially for movies.

I had my first 3D Cinema experience yesterday at Robinson’s Place Gensan’s Movieworld, where we watched Shrek Forever After and it proved to be one great movie to watch in 3D. I have seen all the Shrek movies but this one is the most memorable for me, thanks to an upgraded visual experience.

First times are always exciting. I felt like a 10-year old yesterday when the Movieworld staff ushered us to the seats reserved for us. The 3D glasses I was given,of course, didn’t escape inspection. I expected them to be made from cardboard and had blue-and-red tinted plastic eyepieces like those you use to view images on 3D books. But the ones they use at Movieworld was far from my expectations. They looked like real eyeglasses and were made by Dolby. Just like everyone else, I wanted to take it home.

From the start of the movie until its end, oohs, aahhs, and wows filled the air. Everyone was clearly amazed by the visuals. I even moved away by reflex when objects appeared to come out of the screen.

Now, the formula for my first 3D movie experience: excellent visuals and sound, comfortable seats, and great movies like Shrek. They have all these at Robinson’s Movieworld.

Overall, my first 3D Cinema experience was a blast. For sure, I would be watching more 3D movies in the future. Can’t wait for Toy Story 3.
