What was the first film you ever viewed in 3D?
For me, it was Alice in Wonderland (2010); your's?
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."
Friday the 13th in 3D 1982, the last one was Clash of the Titans 2010. The only good 3D experiences were the Disneyland Michael Jackson and Honey I shrunk the Kids 3D shows.
shareThe first 3D feature I ever saw was A*P*E, the Korean ripoff of the 1976 King Kong. Awful movie, half-decent 3D, TOTAL FUN!
Back when I was a kid, I went to see this awful science fiction film starring Michael Ironside called Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086346/. It sucked really bad and the 3D was awful to boot. Still, that was my first 3D experience. At least it didn't cost more for the gimmick back then like it does today.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
I saw House of Wax in 1953, but only in 2D. I was six years old at the time when mom took me to see it (couldn't find a babysitter, I guess). I spent most of the time hiding behind the seat and coming up when the music wasn't so scarey. It was the beginning of a life long love of horror and science fiction films. Thanx, mom.
I missed It Came From Outer Space in 1953, but got to see it on television some years later.
In the mid 1980's a retro house in NYC showed several 3D movies from the 1950's, including House of Wax and It Came From Outer Space and I finally got to see them as they were meant to be shown.
To God There Is No Zero. I Still Exist.
My first 3D experience was a Danish TV show called "Pyrus i Alletiders Eventyr" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272407/), which was about an elf travelling into various fairytales. He magically and mistakenly mixed 24 fairy tales into one book, which made them sound like gibberish, not only in that book, but in books all over the world. He then has to travel into each and every one of them and re-discover the stories.
I don't know if other countries have these things, but in Denmark it's a tradition to have tv shows as christmas calenders, i.e. they have 24 episodes and they show one episode each day in December until Christmas Eve. They are mostly kid shows but sometimes they make grown up shows too.
I was only 11 and I remember everybody rushing to the post offices to get the 3D glasses until they were sold out. I didn't know what this 3D was, so I had no idea why they were so important.
But on December 1st 2000, I witnessed the elf Pyrus (in his fourth and last christmas series) and his mentor travel into a fairy tale, the big 3D sign flashed in the corner of the screen, and I saw wood, trees and flames jump out of the screen. It was amazing and nothing has ever topped that in my oppinion. There were a bunch of fairy tales during the show, most of which I knew from Disney movies, like Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Sword in the Stone (the fish scene was great) and Sleeping Beauty, but also Hans Christian Andersen stories and the Brothers Grimm stories, but keeping to the original stories and not making any differences like Disney usually does. It was quite cool.
Looking back at it seems kinda cheesy, because in the fairy tales the camera spins around the action to get the full 3D feel, instead of in the other scenes, and in the other series' the camera was pretty much stiff, and was standing on a tripod during the full episode. But it was still a cool experience.
Stop thinking about it and enjoy the movie
