The Bubble is the “eerie and enjoyable” (Los Angeles Times) science-fiction spine-tingler that shocked audiences and revolutionized the cinematic world of 3D! The eye-popping thrills and chills begin when a plane carrying pregnant Catherine and her husband Mark is forced to land in a mysterious remote town. The townspeople are quite strange, indeed:they repeat certain phrases and movements ceaselessly and stagger through the streets like brain-dead automatons. The Bubble introduced the ground-breaking Space-Vision 3D system, which pioneered a new way of both shooting and exhibiting 3D film. These single-strip 35mm stereoscopic techniques were used in almost all major 3D features for the next thirty years. Now fully restored from the 35mm negatives by the 3D Film Archive.
