3D - 2

What 3d glasses are the ones used for Coraline?

I want to see Coraline sometime soon (I've always loved animated films) but the movie theatre here doesn't have any 3d specs, so I ask... What kind are they? Are they the classic 80's red and blue? The grey and clear? Or are they those new fangled (well not that new) transparent ones?

1. There Clear they are the Disney Real D glasses
2. its not the red and blue ones no more, they are using newer technology, its just some glasses that look like sunglasses somewhat
3. Since the 1950's the glasses have always been polarized for movies in the theaters which use glasses that look like weak sunglasses. For in theater movie releases that used the red and blue glasses you have to go back to the 40's. Now really the only time they use the red and blue glasses is 3d on television because tv can't do polarized. So if you go to the theater for the most part it has alwalys been polarized, jaws 3d in 1983 was polarized. They are planning to start making televisions that can do polarized or something close to it. Also the polarized of the 50s was lineral using up lines for the right eye and horizantal lines for the left eye, so if you tilted your head it would mess up and strain your eyes. Now they use circular polarized 3d so tilting your head does nothing to the images, but both used tinted sunglasses.
