Good story, Not enough for a whole film

An absolute waste of money

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I saw this at Alton Towers in the 3D cinema.There were a few good moments in the film, but mostly i thought it was quite bad. In the whole film i think there was 5 moments of proper 3D image.The only good thing about this film was the apperance of Elvira, she was in all her 3D glory.If your a fan of Elvira you will like the film, if your a fan of 3D films you will not like it.For 3D images i give it 2/10 For Elvira i give it 9/10

Encounter the in Third Dimension was really unsatisfying and boring. The film itself is almost completely rendered using CGI. This shouldn't be the problem, but the style reminded my somehow of a computer game. The plot is bad and the effects are boring as the surreal environment always keeps a distance between screen and the audience

This was the first 3D IMAX film I have seen, and I must say I was quite impressed. Not only were the 3D effects spectacular, but the film was quite enjoyable as well.The roller coaster rides and underwater scenes were quite fun (it really feels like you are there!). The film itself was documentary style, but written in such a way that all ages will find it enjoyable. If it's still playing near you, it's worth seeing.

I've seen many 3d movies - some of them on IMAX screens - but "Encounter in the Third Dimension" is the absolute best (as of 1998) in CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) and 3D. A must-see!
