The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free]

[Creed]

Latest poster confirmed it. An animated movie in IMAX only is interesting.
Here are trailers from the past.

I hope all of the well known villains show up in this one. Speaking of Batman, Gotham season 3 premiered tonight at 8 on Fox.

Yep, I know. Have to watch it online tomorrow. Love Gotham.

Glad this is gonna be in 3D...should look good.

It should look good in 3D, but The LEGO Movie had horribly conservative 3D, so I'm not expecting any better from The LEGO Batman Movie. I'll be waiting for the 3D blu ray rather than wasting money on an underwhelming theatrical presentation.

Hopefully they get a new stereo team on this one offering stronger 3D.

Same here, great show. The first episode of s3 was very good.

I thought the 3d for the Lego Movie was fantastic! At the very least it was medium and it kept it consistent from my recollection. Just my two cents

[Rickyrockard]

I saw this in 2D at the weekend, with my 3 year old son. I would ordinarily have plumped for 3D of course. Has anyone seen it in 3D? What were your thoughts?

There was a lot going on on the screen (particularly in the final act) so I'd have thought that there should be some nice layering. It looked like there were a couple of pop-outs in the final act too.

Critics are loving it!

John Wick 2 vs Lego Batman 3D. I want to see both, but I really enjoyed the action of John Wick 1. Will see that first, then if there's time, Batman 3D, as the week after that:

The Great Wall 3D Universal Pictures / Legendary Pictures Feb 17, 2017

On topic, Batman Lego 3D looks like it could be a fun movie, and I definitely want to see the villains and how Batman and Robin battle them in 3D.

CinemaBlend's scoring isn't very consistent. I haven't seen it, but I doubt it's significantly better or worse than The LEGO Movie's 3D.

I agree, but at least they've highlighted a few significant pop-out moments:

"delivers on all fronts in full. Noteworthy effects that fly out at the audience include, but are not limited to, Phantom Zone rays, various display monitors, LEGO pieces and explosions, and, in a particularly harrowing sequence, a chain of heroes holding on for dear life."

I can't say that there were many of those in The LEGO Movie...

True. They hated the 3D for Point Break, yet it was actually near perfect when I watched it in the format.

[mredman]

Looking forward to this. Hope 3D is great

They may not actually fly out at the audience as much as you'd want after reading the review though. Those are probably all just mild "screen breakers". Theoretically, adding some good pop-outs would significantly improve the 3D experience from The LEGO Movie. Hopefully, it's great, and my skepticism is misguided. Someone who goes to see it will have to let us know.

A lot of what they write about 3D is just baffling, even when I somewhat agree with their numerical score.

Take their Sing review for example.
http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1602...ht-sing-ticket

First, the writer judges whether or not the story is appropriate for 3D, which is ridiculous because you can tell any story in 3D if you shoot it right. Then he talks about how difficult it is for animated movies to make full use of 3D, when nothing could be further from the truth, and how Sing is some kind of exception. Then he scores the pop-out category 5/5 for having one pretty good pop-out in the entire movie. Later he rates how bright his theater's projector was and assigns that score to the movie. I seriously doubt he fully understands how blurring in a glasses-off image actually relates to the stereo glasses-on image. Then he rambles on about how watching Sing's 3D might require some sort of adjustment period for your eyes, but how it still receives full health points because its one of the 3D films that won't make you vomit.

The way their writers experience and think about 3D is completely foreign to me.

Saw this in RealD3D last night at newish AMC, with a large screen, would also argue that this was moderate 3D, at best. It's about what you would expect from the first one. So if you loved the 3D before, you will love this too. If you didn't, check your expectations.

The screen was reasonably bright, but owning a 4K HDR set, I would have preferred a brighter 2D viewing with colors that pop, which would add a lot to a movie like this. Overall, I would give the 3D 3.5/5. I was more impressed with the subtle depth effects, as it was lacking memorable pop out or gimmick moments.

Thanks for the info. That sounds hopeful.

Good, thanks. Hopefully the price isn't consistently 34.99 as with Lego Movie 3D for the longest time. Lowest I saw it for was 23 bucks or so, (actually that price now listed above in the Best 3D Blu Ray Deals listing on the site).

Thanks for the head's up on some of their 3D reviews. I agree, we need Cinemablend reviews from those who are fans of 3D and have experience with what they're seeing. If there are some of them on there, hopefully they can pass along their knowledge to those new to 3D reviews on that site.

Cool, thanks for the 3D details. That sounds pretty good; mostly medium 3D from the sound of it.

Bleed Orange 11, I really appreciate your post #17 above.

I think a great many people-- film critics and ordinary movie buffs-- would profit from reading the Spottiswoodes' Theory of Stereoscopic Transmission and Lipton's Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema, both of which are available as fully authorized free downloads online. Neither qualifies as light reading, but Lipton's book is probably a little more accessible to the average reader.
