Contains some vertiginous visions that can truly be labeled 'state-of-the-art.' Full Review

The film is ... not so much a satisfying story as it is a fun loving promise of things to come in the world of IMAX in 3-D. Full Review

Rating: 74/100 -- While the film promises a tour through the history of stereoscopic effects, the survey is pretty cursory, with a lot of old Stereopticon cards and clips from 3-D movies from the form's early 1950s heyday like Bwana Devil (1952).

Rating: 2/4 -- Watching MAX whizzing about, I reflected that it was done well, but, alas, I did not want it done at all. Full Review

Product Description:

Invented as both a marketing gimmick and a way to give a more realistic depth of field, 3-D filmmaking has thrilled movie audiences for years. This journey through the history of 3-D includes clips of the earliest attempts at 3-D through to today's IMAX three dimensional extravaganzas. Stuart Pankin and a robot sidekick host this eye-popping tour originally shown in the IMAX format. M.A.X. the Robot is especially excited to show a music video featuring someone who can test the very limits of 3-D, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. After several comedic mishaps, the film delivers this video for a song about a haunted house as a grand final stroke. A special section on the James Cameron theme park ride, TERMINATOR 2 3-D is a highlight. Narrated by Harry Shearer, this feature can be viewed both in 3-D and 2-D.
