O.D. on 3D

3D jim & gerMonday, 21 February, we had a day off. So, what to do? We decided that we’d go to the London Science Museum’s Imax theatre and, along with Gil and Mariett Campbell, watch a few 3D movies. The second and third movies were half price, so why not?

The 3D experience is incredible, especially when one sees movies about space and the ocean. We were so close to the ocean, but we didn’t get wet.

The best movie was “Hubble 3D”. What a ride.Hubble Who wouldn’t like astronauts space walking as they repair an incredible telescope? Learned that stars are formed and nurtured in “star nurseries”. Billions of galaxies out there. It’s almost as though there’s a Father-in-Heaven in charge of all the matter.

“Deep Sea 3D” was very entertaining, with lots of interesting creatures I’d never seen. “Wild Ocean 3D” was a mediocre masterpiece, for someone took 15 minutes of good footage and looped it over and over again to produce a 50 minute movie.

As we walked out of the Science Museum, I told Gerry that I didn’t need to watch another 3D movie for a long time.
