Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (2011) Blu-ray 3D [Ring Of Fire special feature only] - Blu-ray Forum

seregloth · 07-22-2011, 11:41 PM

At comic con they are showing the spartacus prequel "ring of fire" battle sequence. I guess the 5 minute 3d sequence will be included as a special feature on the blu ray set. They are calling it a first so I think it will be hd 3d, not anaglyph.

Awesome news!

That sounds great can't wait to buy it, but I do think Andy Whitfield being sick sucks!

I do love the show, and would like to own it. But... There isn't much reason to dish out the cash when I can watch it from Netflix anytime I want. The Idea of seeing Spartacus in 3D is a cool one. But if it's just the final battle scene that is in 3D, and likely not the best looking conversion job to boot. That's not enough incentive for me to spend money on it. If the entire season was 3D, and good looking 3D...

I wonder if the 3D battle scene will find it's way to the Netfix Blu-rays. It'd be worth checking out anyway. Very curious as to how good it will look. I don't have my hopes up too high though.

As of right now, Starz and Netflix have a new deal that they will not stream shows for at least 90 days from airdate. That really sucks as I loved being able to see Spartacus online if I missed it that week.
Very glad about the 3D sequence...just an added bonus!

Yeah, that does kind of suck. But that doesn't bother me much. As much as I'd like to wait for the Blu-rays for the next season, I'll probably just end up watching each episode as they air on Starz. Don't you have a DVR? You can set it to record every episode as it airs, then watch them at your leisure.

Trouble is with me is, i like to watch at the highest quality possible, and streaming over air just dont cut it, will be 5 or 10 years before we get quality of bluray over air, i love high bitrate and hd sound from blu rays.

Agreed. I canceled my streaming option with the new Netflix plan. I'd much rather watch any show on Blu-ray. I also prefer to watch several episodes in a row, rather than one hour a week. But... chances are I'm not going to have the patience to wait. But I did waited for Lost, Heroes, and still waiting on the third season of Fringe... Other shows I've watched were already pretty much over by the time I started watching them.

Oh man, I love Spartacus! I can't wait to see that scene in 3D!!!

seregloth · 09-17-2011, 05:29 AM

Just watched it tonight- I was surprised by how abruptly it ended, but overall, I thought the conversion was really solid. Really good depth of field-some good pop. I did notice a couple of times that something would have REALLY popped if it had been native 3D, but on the whole, I thought it was a fun thing to have- particular for people with a 3D rig, that have not bought 3D media as yet. There are plenty of them out there. Could make a nice demo piece for people that aren't on the bandwagon.

Just watched a copy of the 3D sequence that is currently on Starz on Demand. That copy at least is incredibly washed out.

dogofwar · 12-10-2011, 06:30 PM

This is entire show that would be amazing in 3D. The sequence is pretty cool and I hope a sign that they want to convert the entire series to 3D.

xmonkeywarriorx · 12-20-2011, 08:04 PM

i would double dip for a 3d version

Must be an isolated issue. I watched it on my friend's Blu-ray and the picture quality was quite fantastic. Great for a conversion job - the only odd depth I noticed was the net that one of the characters was throwing - the ropes and holes in it seemed problematic, but the remainder was good. The abrupt end was disappointing - I guess they only converted 5 minutes as a demo?

fantasiafilmlover · 12-22-2011, 06:47 AM

Here in the UK I got this day one and was well pleased with the result. I had no problem with the net throwing business that Mikeatron85 mentioned(don't know whether there was mastering problems in other parts of the world--maybe) but, I have to admit, the whole five minute segment passed far too quickly for a 3D buff like me.

Mikeatron85 · 12-23-2011, 12:36 AM

I wouldn't consider it an issue per se... more, if there was ever an indicator that this was converted 3D, it would be during those shots (given the nature of a net, the holes/openings and ropes would have been quite difficult to rotoscope and it very briefly shows). The overall job was quite excellent though.
