How do polarizing filters allow each eye to see separate images in the projection of 3-d movies?

• No one really knows...

• Each glasses lens is polarized the same and two polarized images are projected onto the screen

• Each glasses lens is polarized 45 degrees from the other and two polarized images are projected onto the screen

• Each glasses lens is polarized 90 degrees from the other and two polarized images are projected onto the screen
