Brace yourself for the 3-D movie experience

Like stepping into a cinematic wonderland, the new way to watch movies in three dimensions. Lifelike shape and form, motions that look like they're coming right at you, and modern Digital Projector technology are the hallmarks of this Hollywood trend, one with which local movie theater Somerset Cinemas 8 is prepared to get on board

All new Digital Projector will placed in two individual theater rooms -- "It does away with the old 35 millimeter film that everybody always used," said Bailey. Instead of the traditional reel of film, movies are sent as stored digital information on a sort of mini-computer, which is downloaded into the new equipment much like one would download songs onto an iPod.

"It's all digital 3-D now," said Bartley. "Most people have film that rolls off a platter. Here, you have a hard drive that you load movies from.

"The good thing about the picture is that it will always be the same every time you play it," he continued. "It's a little different from film. (On traditional film), black is black -- you can't see any difference in shades of black or white. With digital technology, you should be able to tell a difference in shades."
