Monsters vs. Aliens 3D Blu-ray (2009) [Region Free] - Blu-ray Forum

The_Basterd · 03-23-2010, 03:26 AM

I saw Sunday, that in the Best Buy Advertisement it said that the 3D starter kit comes with Monsters vs. Aliens Blu-ray 3D. Is this a new type of product, because the packaging looks different? I mean, is it just like Coraline without the stupid colored glasses? Or is it something different? What are we expecting from this.
Oh, and is Best Buy going to have this out as a demo?

I really like that cover and the 3D logo.

Glad the packaging isn't too different, it'll still fit well in a collection.

I hate the way the BD3D logo rests awkwardly beneath the BD logo on the case. I'd prefer if the BD3D logo was just on the case itself, but I guess that'd be too expensive. Maybe if they moved the BD3D logo into a corner, or... Eh, I'm too nitpicky. I'm happy the disc is actually in a case, I thought it would be in a paper envelope.

Well I didnt see the whole movie just what they were looping for the 3D demo but... I got too say it looks pretty amazing. It looks as good as the 2D bluray in PQ and the 3D is theater quality maybe even a little sharper.
Anyone on here watch the whole movie in 3D?

When will we see a review of the Monsters vs Aliens 3DBD on Blu-ray.com??

Bishop_99 · 04-18-2010, 06:48 PM

I saw the demo of this movie at Best Buy. The 3D looks very nice, tremendous improvement over the Coraline one I own. The only problem I saw, not sure if that's how the tv is or was something wrong with the glasses, but every time I moved my eyes across the screen I would see a shuttering effect. The image looked as it was going on a slight blink every time I tried looking at any other part of the screen. While I was focused on one section it was perfect. No loss of detail or colors, no ghosting either.

It was a Samsung 3DTV and the Samsung 3D Blu-ray player.

No lossless audio? Um, that's one way to step into the future I guess.

Cool to see the early review though, thanks Martin!

WetCardboard · 04-21-2010, 02:59 PM

So in 2D you get 2.35:1 and in 3D you get 1.78:1? Pics 16-20 are 1.78:1 and the title description also says 1.78:1.

JediFonger · 04-21-2010, 04:04 PM

i hope this doesn't become a trend because no lossless=no buy from me

was at bestbuy and to me don't know if its the settings or the tv set but it lacked highdef
kept trying the glasses asking if the glasses are turned on because of the button on the frame and it just looked standard definition . with double image when the sets should overlay so the 2 images match each other
the hdtv set should have crosstalk reduction so there is no strain to eyes

Zyclone · 08-02-2010, 12:52 AM

i was just wondering if the 3D release of this title that is being bundled with tvs has been locked to region A or is it region free like its 2D counter part?

patrick13wx · 08-05-2010, 06:26 AM

That's good question because these bundles are being shipped all over so if they are no region free, then someone has had to ensure they're only for specific areas. Personally I feel all this region nonsense should stop as it's fairly easy to get hold of multi regional players......

Zyclone · 08-05-2010, 01:35 PM

you bring up a valid point about bundles being sold all over and i don't mind shelling out the crazy ebay prices for a copy but i would be a tad annoyed if i bought one and it was region locked.

Well, indeed. And herein lies a major concern for many of us.
