I can't see that movie in stereo in spain

It's not even mentioned at any place that the movie is stereoscopic. I know it because of mtbs.

There are also two RealD theaters in Spain. Go to http://www.reald.com/ and click on find a theater.

There does not seem to be any realD theater in Sweden.

Thanks for checking. I've googled around a bit but with no luck either. However i know there is at least one cinema with a passive polarisation rig in Sweden but it's in an amusement park (Liseberg) which so far only shows some 3d-demos. (This is the place i got the idea of the polarised rig i have now). A visit there started a dream that needed to be fulfilled.

... Hmm. Got an idea

Why not tip them about Beowulf! Then i might be able to see it here too.

Probably have to wait until they open in spring though hehe

cheers

Cool! thx a lot for the information. I didn't find anything when I searched. I think I'm a bad "searcher", it happens to me a lot when I look for rare things.

I viewed it in Spain at Yelmo Imax 3D, its true that they dont advertise this option anywhere, i?m sure that there is people living near the max that dont have a clue about what stereo 3d is.
Bad marketing, and what not..

I went to a 3d theather in holland yesterday. It was awesome, the story itself wasn't that great but i was enjoying the 3d effect every minute of the movie.

I'm using anaglyph for gaming at home, and i got to say a dual projection setup for home will be a serious consideration. If my games could look like beowolf in terms of depth and seperation, i'm definatly going to buy a good polarisation setup.

BTW: They used NuVision 3D cinema, glasses equiped with some kind of IR sensor. But i don't think it's a shutter system, does anybody now how this technique works? The image on the screen without the glasses looked like a normal polarisation setup. And when i moved my finger before te IR eye on the glasses the left eye images got distorted. Im curious what kind of technique is used.

hi gamma! thank you didnt know about that! the second link you posted is of a fun park, there are others with 3d cinemas inside. i was referring only to normal 3d cinemas. anyway thank you for the link! its 3 hours by car from here so maybe a weekend next summer i can go there.. thank you again very much...

@ Bartdesign:

There are a few here who has experience in passive polarisation. Feel free to ask. Beware though: The money tends to fly away in the beginning but if you're persistent there's nothing really beating it.
Besides: Continued support with the nvidia stereodrivers is a must but on that front it also looks promising.

cheers

Compared to what you can do at home, was the 3D in Beowulf good or bad?
