What Are Your Top Best And Worst 3D Blu-rays? What's Your Favorite?

[gepetto2]

Live action/CGI: Hobbit...gorgeous stuff.
Animation: Madagascar 3 (outrageous color with pop outs seemingly every scene and great depth. The one to use as a show piece for doubters.)

No 'bad' ones yet, but Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate while decent 3D is difficult to enjoy the depth and tricks while trying to read the titles. :-)

Tech issues: POTC On Stranger Shores...looked great but couldn't get it to play beyond ch 7...freezes and stops'n'gos. Returned to store.

Resurrecting an old thread, but I'm definitely saying Titanic and Hugo. Both followed closely by House of Wax and The Amazing Spider Man.

My favorites change frequently but right now - Sanctum kicks serious 3D a$$.

[Angela87]

The Polar Express!

I really didn't like the 3D in that one. Thought it was non-existent most of the time.

It's a tie between Jurassic Park and Pacific Rim.

Instead of rehashing the same titles already mentioned.... I'm going to give some love to Legend of the Guardians Owls of Gahoole. Having to "screen" kid title after kid title to see if they are appropriate for my kids at their age, I'd have to say this one surprised me a lot. Despite it probably being a tad too scary for my kids to watch at least for another year or two, I came away extremely impressed both story and 3D presentation wise.

Hell to the yeah!! Just watched it on 3D on my 120" projector screen. I was there, now where is Godzilla in 3D

Just got 3D a couple of weeks ago with my new Samsung Tv. I actually wasn't interested, but my wife thought it would be fun for friends and kids.

Overall, I'm pretty blown away by the home viewing experience of 3D.

I've gotten a few 3D movies - Avatar, Gravity, Madagascar 3, SpongeBob 3D, Lego Movie, and How to Train Your Dragon 2.

I've been reading lots of reviews - making sure I'm only upgrading movies in my collection worth the 3d upgrade, and, of course, looking for some fun, demo worthy discs.

Look forward to your recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

I didnt like Hugo not my type of film . But it is very well done and the 3d effects are fantastic ! Sanctum i thought is a great film and some great depth to it as well. Check out Bait a great 3d film and some good pop outs too

Never heard of Bait, I'll look into it. I've never seen Hugo. Wish I could find some place to rent.

Anyone know if Netflix rents 3d movies? I would consider adding physical discs for that.

Those are some excellent starters you've got. Can't go far wrong with Avatar and Gravity, and Dreamworks animated films have some of the best 3D, particularly Madagascar 3.

If you want to go to another level, check out House of Magic. It's a smaller-scale European made film, not exactly Pixar quality, but it's pleasant enough, and you will not find stronger 3-D anywhere, and it's all very well integrated into the story. There are quite a few animated films with good 3-D, but this is the one I recommend above all others.



Live action films: Hugo is very special film, I highly recommend it.
I've never been a fan of Brendan Fraser, but Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fun thrill-ride that makes excellent use of 3-D.

You should definitely check out at least one of the golden age 3-D films. The 3-D is consistently stronger than most modern efforts. I'd recommend either House of Wax or Kiss Me Kate as the best starting point. Inferno is also very good, and there's also 3-D Rarities which is a showcase of short films of varying quality dating from the silent era up to the 60s.

A few other things I recommend:
David Attenborough: The 3D Collection - Excellent set of 3d nature documentaries, and good value, there's a lot of content here.


Cloudy-Chance-Meatballs-Monster-House-Open-Season-Blu-ray 3d+box+set These are good value and mostly pretty good, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in particular is a very funny film, a lot better than I expected it to be.

Check out Pacific Rim, and you should be able to get it at a pretty good price.

Find a film that they like/love with great 3d and use that.

As a general recommendation, Hugo, Life of Pi, Avatar and something like Inferno to show that older films also exist in the format that look splendid.
