IQALUIT - The Astro Theatre in Iqaluit has officially become the first theatre in Canada's North to play movies in 3-D.

Last week, the theatre featured Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole in all three dimensions thanks to a recently installed digital projector capable of playing 3-D movies.

"The glasses are non-throwaway; they're permanent," Bryan Pearson, owner of the Astro, recently told News/North. "(The customers) can't pinch them because there's a code in them; it beeps."

Eric Ball, part owner of Yellowknife's Capitol Theatre, told News/North this past summer that a digital projector is in the works there.
