The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free]

[Jbug]

I picked up a used copy off of Amazon for 14.50 with a slip cover. Haven't watched it yet though.

Some may not realize the significance of this Blu-ray 3D, but "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water 3D" has clearly raised a bar for me that puts the 3D cell-drawn animation category at its jaw-dropping best! Never before have I experienced a 3D cartoon having such a strong fantasy flair for simulating volume splendor! Groundbreaking graphics of color simulating multitudes of characteristic forms having structural dimension.

Visually strong illusional-volumes-of-solidity dominating the native-3D stereo image; and I'm not talking about CGI real-world image portions everyone here tells me they love. The cell-drawn cartoon style takes me back to my early experiences where excitement and thrill runs deep in memory.
Body extremities of the cartoon's arms, legs, hands, and feet, have features mimicking real-world structural movement and are proportionally symmetrical with mass, suggesting heaviness and weight. These creations are in abundance, depicting life-like crowd movement and a world that is involved in multiple planes of dimension. The details include mouths having depth within depth, some figures having cavern-like dimensions!

Does anyone know if the UK 3D Blu-ray comes with a slipcover? Thanks

I've never watched anything Spongebob related before but after reading all the immense positivity towards the 3D i'm intrigued! Can this movie be enjoyed by someone who hasn't watched any of this series before?

Mine arrived from Amazon UK yesterday with no slipcover.

Fascination with cell-drawn 3D animation styles made my choice compulsory.

The movie utilizes both 3D CGI & cell-drawn animation styles. CGI for real-world scene interaction with humans on land, cell-drawn depicting a world underwater.
Personally, got lost in the 3D visuals, enjoying details unfold, but eventually I found the story entertaining enough. If you like "Mad Magazine" type humor, it may interest you. Would describe it as a mixture of comical stupidity, and suggestive humor.

I watched a bit of this and found the story interesting and the visuals quite good as is the 3D.

I have to third this review. I was amazed at how technically outstanding the 3D was, mixing live action with cell-drawn style with CGI and even included what looked to me like stop-motion (Bubbles the dolphin). The film is a feast for the eyes and I couldn't recommend it more.

Version completists may like to note that the audio track on the UK version has the seagulls re-voiced by UK "celebrities" including Alan Carr and Stacey Solomon. The mercifully brief bit where they sing is really painful.

Yes - I never watched any Spongebob before and I loved it. Much more than Home and Mars Needs Moms, which were the last animated 3D movies I watched (not that I didn't enjoy those, but Spongebob is in another league).

Thanks Paul, sounds interesting, might give it a go.

That's cool to hear, i've not seen Home but i own Mars Needs Moms.

Imagining that the 3D in this is a graphic marvel! It makes me excited thinking about evolving application possibilities for structural image formation in future 3D live-action conversions!

Visual advancements so profound in stereography, a metamorphosis takes place producing images of people, objects and extremities so profound, bulk and detail so real, each plane takes on an independent entity formation!

You should also check out MR PEABODY & SHERMAN. Very strong 3D and a more watchable movie than SPONGEBOB, IMHO. The new 3D Rocky & Bullwinkle short is an added treat!

[HDM_fan]

I'd never watched Spongebob before and thoroughly enjoyed this. 3D is excellent, especially after they get to human land. If you like irreverent, silly humor, you'll like this.

[Zivouhr]

Thanks for the reviews on 3D> Sounds mostly like strong 3D layers in Spongebob 3D.

The 3D in the trailer was mostly strong 3D and I was definitely going to see it if it was all cel shaded, but then they switched to CGI and while the 3D was still great, I was hoping for a Cel cartoon movie.

I agree! Mr. Peabody & Sherman is an excellent, smart film and the 3D is awesome!

I loved it as well.

[levcore]

Picked it up, watched it, loved it. Very funny and clever movie and something i enjoyed way more than i expected i would. The 3D is stunning throughout, whether it's a 2D cartoon or live action with CG characters, as a visual piece this movie is a real tour de force.

The humour felt similar to Futurama, very quick and witty, also quite wacky, loved it.

Yeah, I enjoyed Mr Peabody a lot, though the 3D isn't as good as Spongebob's. It reminded me of Meet The Robinsons a bit.

I'm somewhat gutted that I bought the UK edition of Mr Peabody and Sherman because the new 3D Rocky & Bullwinkle short is nowhere to be found on either disc, Dreamworks really stiffed UK 3D fans by not including it.

[Gizz]

Borrowed this of a friend never watched SpongeBob but after hearing about the 3D I am looking forward to giving this a go.
