A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman - Blu-ray Forum

samdvd1 · 02-22-2013, 11:20 AM

Just received this today but likely won't be able to watch it for a few days as have others queued before it.

Anyone seen it yet and got opinions on the 3D?

what an odd choice for 3D! anyone else seen it?

tigermoth · 02-23-2013, 09:14 AM

never heard of this till now. Would like to know how the 3D is. Love Monty Python.

It's not too odd of a choice as it might seem at first glance. It's basically Graham Chapman's audiobook from years ago with an animated storyline, using 14 animation studios to get 14 different styles. I plan on watching it tomorrow so I'll let you all know how it was.

Well, I just watched this and it is a very mixed bag. The feature itself I thought was disappointing and put the different scenes strung together quite poorly. The 3D varied wildly scene-to-scene. There are 14 different animation styles - some seem very flat, some have good depth and there are maybe 1-2 very minor pop-outs. Some of the animation styles looked very good, some didn't. I'd recommend you rent first.

The extras are quite good though.

Film - 2/5
General PQ - 3.5/5
AQ - 3.5/5
3D - 3/5
Extras - 3.5/5

Thanks for the review. I don't think anywhere will have this to rent in 3D in my country. If I want it I will have to import.

Any knowledge if the 3d bluray will play in the USA amazon.uk doesn't show region info?

samdvd1 · 02-25-2013, 11:43 AM

I forgot to check before I lent it out to a friend. Case says region B and I'm fairly sure it is locked.

I'll let you know when I get it back (prob next week - friend lives quite far away and was passing through today).
