A 3-D (three-dimensional) film or S3D (stereoscopic 3D) film is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. A
special motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives and special projection hardware and/or eyewear are used to provide the illusion of depth when viewing the film.

3-D films were prominently featured in the 1950s in American cinema, it later experienced a worldwide acceptance in the 1980s and ’90s. 3-D films became more and more successful throughout the 2000s, culminating in the unprecedented success of 3-D presentations of Avatar in December 2009 and January 2010. 3-D films are not limited to feature film theatrical releases; television broadcasts and direct-to-video films have also incorporated similar methods, primarily for marketing purposes.

With the introduction of 3-D screening to Nigerian cinemas by Genesis Deluxe, cinema goers will be having a wow time as they can now watch movies with a deeper perception.
