Skeptical to this, but hopefully they've used the time and money... like Top Gun, Titanic, 2012?
New record in old movie being converted to 3D ?

Wow!! Thanks for posting this OP. Didn't hear or see this coming. I am so in on this one....as long as the 3D is done right.

eriaur · 02-17-2013, 04:13 PM

Hope it's done right, would like to see newer Bond movies in the best possible converted to 3D quality.

Film in the history of the first 3D conversion?

I see Asian kanji on the side spine, approach with caution.

Is it wrong I ordered one of the 3D iphone viewers on that page LOL

No that's Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

Creature was native, not converted.

That said, Phantom of the Opera (the version from 1925) got a (really terrible) 3D conversion a while back, so Dr. No doesn't have the record anyway.

WOW I didn't expect this at all! I'm excited

SixSpeedSamurai · 02-17-2013, 10:12 PM

Just not a supporter of converting movies that were not 3D to begin with.

GreenGaijin · 02-17-2013, 10:41 PM

They better have worked to the limit on that Honey Ryder scene

Mikeatron85 · 02-17-2013, 11:17 PM

Saw some 3D screen shots of this yesterday. Hard pass. In line with the infamous German 3D conversions unfortunately.

Is it possible for us to get a link if you viewed these on a website? Don't just tease us about seeing the screenshots and not let us evaluate the 3D quality ourselves.

tigermoth · 02-18-2013, 02:19 AM

I just did a web search and it looks like two days ago someone uploaded a 1080p 3D version of this onto torrent sites. They are using this 3D blu-ray cover art in it's description but the sample frames are clearly self converted using an auto 3D converter program. If those are what Mikeatron85 saw I highly doubt it is what Fox will be releasing. The same user who uploaded it has uploaded lots of self converted crap that looks like the German 3D Blu-Rays.

Mikeatron85 · 02-18-2013, 03:52 AM

Wasn't teasing, just posting from work so difficult to get the links.

Here's a few:

Tigermoth is probably absolutely correct in saying these have come from the rip floating around online. I haven't downloaded it so I can't say for sure (but given that the caps are in side-by-side format, it's pretty much a given).

However, the Blu-ray has been released has it not? If so, isn't it likely that the rip going around online has been sourced from this? I wasn't aware that Fox were in charge of converting this?

However, there had been talk of an Imax release, which, if that is indeed the case, there's not a chance in hell that the version from which these caps have been taking is what's hitting Imax

tigermoth · 02-18-2013, 04:04 AM

Sorry this is MGM/Sony not Fox. It hasn't been released anywhere yet. The screen caps are definitely from a cheap auto convert program.

Except, of course, that Germany isn't Hong Kong. That's one thing we can say in their favor.

Want this in 2.8D (JC on Titanic) not in 2.1D (cheap auto convert program)

The best would be if it was filmed in 3DD

Should be a crime to release "3D" Blu-rays made with cheap auto convert programs. Almost less depth than the 2D Blu-ray. 1.8D
