The 3D film has been a part of the American film industry since the early middle of the twentieth century in one form or another. Actually, in the 1950's it was a surprisingly popular form of film presentation, though it was very expensive to produce at the time. The problem with 3D back then was that it was so costly that most of a film's budget was directed at the special effects, making 3D mostly just a gimmick to draw crowds to low quality movies. The cost of producing high quality films in 3D was more than most studios could swing. Film producers weren't getting what they wanted out of the expensive to budget films and eventually they dropped into oblivion.

3D film was all but dead, however, as was proven just a couple decades later. The 1980s were a time of excess and campy was trendy, helping to bring about a resurgence of interest in all things 3D, though they were still rather expensive to make. Finally as the century turned, improved technology made it much more affordable and easier to both create and display these types of films. That life was a still a pretty short one as the technology was eventually forgotten about and allowed to fade.

Starting shortly after the beginning of the 21st century most children's movies were at least available in limited 3D release. Additionally horror films, science fiction films, action films, even music video collections began cropping up every week in 3D format. One of the most amazing hits, that helped to really jumpstart the comeback, was 2009's Avatar. After producers realized the level of success a film like Avatar could bring about, 3D exploded. Companies instantly began to work overtime to release new 3D capable televisions.

Though this kind of film production has been around for over five decades, the science that goes into it has been expanding for over a hundred years. The first use of this type of film making was in 1890 and has been on an uphill climb through technology since the very beginning. The 3D film of the early twentieth century can not even compare to the masterpieces that are coming out today. Furthermore, the new 3D televisions that are being released are deeply evolved, not even requiring special glasses to achieve the holographic effect.

The screenings of other popular films like Alice in Wonderland, Tron Legacy, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows continued to bring 3D movies to an entirely new generation of spectators. As the trend continues, development of more and more advanced ways of viewing and experiencing films will present themselves to the public eye.
