3D Blu-ray Disc You LAST BOUGHT or WATCHED Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Captain Jack · 01-19-2012, 11:37 PM

Saw this thread in another forum, so thought it was interesting.

Saw IMAX Legends of Flight 3D today and it was impressive stuff as usual from IMAX. Sort of a puff piece on the 787 but content aside the PQ was great (minus a few shots that needed to be colour corrected), great sense of depth over the Boeing plant and various planes and quite a few pop-out moments as well (a Harrier comes to mind), there was one particularly nice shot of a glider that would make nice demo material. Bit expensive all up considering the length but IMAX 3D just oozes quality, part of me thinks it's the 65mm film cameras they use just have much better dynamic range than the stuff used on feature films and seem to be pin sharp.

Anyway, quality 3D title.

I got Beauty and the Beast 3D on Tuesday and thought it was pretty bad. No more 3D conversions for me.

amoney805 · 01-20-2012, 12:20 AM

Beauty and the beast was the last one I watched and I enjoyed it. Great conversion considering how old it is. It exceeded my expectations. Great color and depth throughout. No a lot of pop outs but I wasn't expecting that from this title.

Wow... I know taste is subjective (and so are 3D setups!) but I rave about this one. It was, at least on my system, amazing (to say the least). I hope I am not alone in that thought.

I watched Mars Needs Moms again last night. I really thought I would hate that movie, but I collect every single 3DBD that comes out and it is by far one of my fave. I feel it got a bad rap for no good reason. The 3D is beautiful too.

sdim66 · 01-20-2012, 12:38 AM

wow, what's with this guy?... Beauty and the Beast 3D was fabulous, and I'm very particular.

I just got and watched How to Train your Dragon 3D.... I love this movie! Watched it 3 times since I got it last week. Also recently got Avatar 3D (ebay purchase) and the 3D is superb. G-Force 3D was pretty good also, 3D pretty decent. Waiting next for Hugo 3D. They can't make 3D movies fast enough for me. Wish they would make a Legend of the Guardians 2.

EricJ · 01-20-2012, 02:06 AM

Okay, thanks to the tipoff from the one guy who was looking for "3D movies on Netflix", I discovered that the supposedly "2D" Blu-ray of "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" really DOES have the B3D version included on the disk, thus saving me $3.99 on 3DBR.com.
(But only because it was a new release, and IFC was too cheap to create two releases--We can assume the 2-D versions of Under the Sea and Tahiti on Netflix are the 2D-only versions from years past)

Only partways into it, but the 3D isn't as bad as its reputation has it, and certainly looks native--
A nice sweeping sense of depth in the first establishing shots, and the stalagtites inside.

I agree though I have only seen the trailers. But outer space seems to be a good set-up for 3D so yeah.

That is exactly what happened to me when I got my HTTYD 3D. Very engaging movie.

Eniweys, I haven't watched a 3D disc yet this year but me and family had a marathon during Christmas break -- The Polar Express, Monster House and Legend of the Guardians (all selected by my kid).

GamerBoy14 · 01-20-2012, 02:50 AM

Last one I watched was Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs after finding it for $10 at a pawn shop, and it was well worth the money. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie and its use of 3D. Very funny movie, by the way. Especially any scene with Baby Brent or Officer Earl.

Biged917 · 01-20-2012, 03:10 AM

Just finished watching IMAX Under the Sea. It was neat to see the ocean life in 3D.

I watched this earlier in the week. I've owned it for a while after enjoying it in cinemas, and have watched it maybe three times since. Very funny. One of my favourite children's animations (not being a HUGE animation fan).

The movie I just finished watching right then, before I swapped screens and sat down at the computer, was Beowulf. I really wish I could say that this was the last 3D movie I watched. C'mon Zemekis, there's a gap in my 3D collection between The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol...

Clash of the Titans 3D *guilty smile*(got it on sale for 19 bucks at frys)

jerzdawg · 01-20-2012, 01:35 PM

Only a month or so in of owning my 3d glasses so I just started with whatever I had:

Avatar - watched only certain scenes due to time constraints but was really impressed by the 3d

IMAX: Under the Sea - again, skipped around to different parts - really thought Jim Carrey's voice was putting me to sleep - was alot of fun to watch though (good thing its only 40 mins or so)

Yogi Bear - only watched the opening scene with the picnic basket flying open (great use of the pop-out 3d)

Yet to watch - I have Cars 2, Lion King, Smurfs, Hubble and borrowed Bolt from a friend.
Also have a bunch of Fios on demand 3d for free (I think its SBS though)

As of now I am still not sold on the 3d - I think it looks great but I dont know if I want to watch a 90 min to 2 hr movie wearing glasses.

jwoodwar · 01-20-2012, 02:47 PM

I watched the Toy Story trilogy. So I love each Toy Story film so that covers that. So just to rate the 3D.

Toy Story: 4.5/5
Toy Story 2: 5/5
Toy Story 3: 4.5/5

So I don't know why but Toy Story 2 just felt like it was made for 3D! The opening scene was amazing!

I'm waiting to see if hbo gets avatar 3d on their 3D section.

TWright · 01-20-2012, 03:58 PM

Ya'll are probably going to laugh, but the one I most recently watched was The Last Airbender

My wife bought it for me on my bday last year and I didn't have the heart to tell her to take it back, so it's been sitting on the shelf all this time. It wasn't as bad as I remembered from the theater, I'll say that much. The acting is the worst part, it's just awful. The 3D was actually not too bad.

markjdye · 01-20-2012, 04:33 PM

I watched My Bloody Valentine. The plot had more holes than a piece of swiss cheese but the 3D was KILLER!

1blufan · 01-20-2012, 04:51 PM

Watched Tron Legacy.
The wife hadn't seen it yet, we've been on a 3D kick over the past few nights. We watched Beauty and The Beast,Ultimate Wave Tahiti,Drive Angry and Tron.
Odd list, but each one had something different to offer.

I have accumulated 6 pairs of glasses and I like to have 3D nights

haha, have a few friends over, serve some drinks and watch the current featured film. This made the use of 3D at home more fun for me and want to purchase more glasses too.

LloydAZ · 01-20-2012, 09:34 PM

I just picked up all three of the Toy Story movies at Best Buy since they were on sale, and I had $15 in reward zone coupons.

I have only watched the first one so far.
