I've seen these days a movie called "Tangled". The movie use new 3D technologies and it is amazing. The effects are very well done. Impressive !

Ah okay, looks like they used <a href="http://www.reald.com/">RealD</a> (and RealD's homepage confirms) which uses circular polarization. Right-hand (clockwise) polarization for the right eye and left-hand (counterclockwise) for the left eye. Linear polarized stuff (LCDs) will make it through no matter what the angle (just at a constant slightly dimmer intensity). G/f and I are going to check it out this weekend. She spends a lot of time looking at molecules in 3D using eclipsing googles so hopefully she'll like the polarization technique. Erik J. Barzeski said on May 31, 2009:

She laughed and cried in all the same places I did. Afterwards, she said one of her favorite parts was when he realized his wife's greatest adventure was the one he lived with her.
