 >If no one else has seen it.  The recent movie Lost in Space is showing in
 3D
 at the Millennium theater in Orlando.  From what I could tell it seems to
 have been partially shot in 3D and partially done with computer work.
 Through out the movie the 3D effect was pretty good with no 3D tricks being
 used.<
 
 I think the expense and complexity of 3D shooting pretty much rules out the
 idea that the movie was "partially shot in 3D" as wildly improbable. And
 computer conversions to true 3D are equally unlikely at this stage. Is this
 "Millennium Theater" the same outfit that was advertising 3D versions of
 popular films several months ago, and showing them through two polarized
 projectors off-set so the (flat) image floated behind the screen plane? >>

Probably the same process that was used on "Blade Runner" when I saw it at the
Palace theater in New Haven, CT months ago.  The stupidest thing I have ever
sat through.  Was actually on a laser disc player -- had to wait when they
changed the sides.  Very blurry.  Dumb.
