Tested: When Star Wars came out on May 25, 1977, the cinema experience was changed forever. While some critics feel that Star Wars changed movies for worse by contributing to the modern blockbuster syndrome, there’s no doubt that for technology and special effects Star Wars was a huge leap forward. In particular, the way Star Wars cemented Dolby Stereo’s dominance in sound transformed the way we would listen to movies in theaters and at home.

It's interesting to read about the origins of Dolby Stereo. It almost feels like history is repeating himself with the recent advent of 3d cinema. At the very least, the introduction of 3d films landed with just as big a splash as Dolby Stereo. That being said, I question whether the notion of 3d movies will be as successful as Dolby Stereo.
