This movie was one of the first I saw in IMAX 3D and it blew me away, can't pass on seeing this film in all its three-dimensional glory.

Yes yes same thing for me, although I will wait until the death of a tv to upgrade, the 3D on this film was tremendous in the theatre. Riddley's scope and depth of field in all of his films applies no gimmicky here. This is said from a mostly 3D skeptic.

Unless the BBFC was told not to post anything till the right time...

Does anybody remember how the 3D was in this? THe trailer makes it look like it's lacking in parallax. But that was the case with Resident Evil Afterlife's trailer as well and the movie is demo-worthy.

Can somebody compare Prometheus's 3D to Afterlife's? (Parallax,Foreground objects,Depth,Pop-out, Window Violation,etc)

I'm about to start make a detailed exact list of the extras on my discs now. Stay tuned.

I thought the 3D was done really well. The first shot going up the river looked fantastic. It was subtle and natural looking at the Imax showing I watched. I don't really recall any gimmicky pop out scenes.

Welcome to the (3D) club! I have had mine for nearly 2 years. Be sure to pick up Resident Evil Afterlife, Hugo and Titanic in 3D to begin your collection.

I don't know anything about Prometheus so it will be 3D BD blind buy for me.

In the theater, there weren't as many pop out/foreground moments in Prometheus as there were in Afterlife, by design.

I find that the 3D theater experience differs from the 3D home theater experience, somewhat. In fact, I prefer the home theater 3D to the theater 3D (RealD3D). It is always interesting to pause the player in scenes with pop out or great depth of field. For me, IMAX 3D trumps both home theater and RealD3D.

Ridley Scott on the use of 3D in Prometheus:

“I’m kind of naturally visual anyway, that’s where I come from. And you’re working off superb 3D screens, which are on the floor, and are really big. It was just wonderful… I was shooting on 3D, then seeing it on the floor. It was easy, I must say… You only want to push it so far, before it becomes arrows popping out of the screen and stabbing you in the eye. You use it for visual effect.
“… I’m actually decided right now how deep to make [the depth of field in 'Prometheus'] on certain sequences. So you can literally, as it were, twiddle a knob, and the depth will increase. It’s kind of bizarre, but there it is. Technologically it’s absolutely staggering. I was working with MPC in London, looking after almost 1,300 big FX shots, and every night they would pipe through shots to a big screen in my office in Lexington Street; I would sit there watching a sequence that had just been graded or refined in perfect 3D. Really amazing.”

The 3D was so minimal that it shouldn't have been a 3D movie.

Im confused why does the 3D version come out 2 days after the 2D version?

Oh, no!!
The 3D was used to show scale, not "in-your-face" for the purposes of shock value....the 3D in the movie was AMAZING!! There wasn't a minimal feel in it whatsoever, especially in the "surgery" scene!
Day 1 buy for me!!

At this point, having only seen it once, I agree.

In my opinion the best 3D films are the ones that don't have things poking out at you through the screen. I like 3D to provide depth to the image - which Prometheus did in spades. It is one of the very best 3D films imo.

I saw it once as well in IMAX 3D. It absolutely warranted the 3D. The depth of field was stellar.

I agree, I don't like the gimmicky things like through an axe at my face.. well maybe some movies but not something like Prometheus. The subtle natural feeling 3D worked/blended seamlessly a theater I watched it in. Going up the river in the beginning was especially cool. As others have said the depth of field throughout was quite impressive and natural feeling.

The Elder Engineer sequence! Alternate ending and beginning!

WTF?!

Not having solid info on this release is driving me crazy!

I am willing to bet that is just referring to what will be included in the deleted scenes. I wish I was wrong, but if there was an extended cut, we would have known about it by now.
