Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free]

[Dubstar]

I honestly don't get Dolby and their not implementing 3D technology into their Dolby Cinema theatrical set ups - I think only two theaters have the Dolby Cinema 3D systems --- anyhow here's a nice video touting the Dolby Cinema release:

on a technical note here's the DCP file encode:

6.0 foot lambert version
KuboTwoStrings_FTR-6-3D-60FL_S_EN-XX-CCAP_US-PG_51-VI_2K_FF_20160726_DTB_IOP-3D_OV

2K image, 5.1 surround sound mix.

If a UHD edition is to appear when the movie makes it's debut on home video - the image will be uprezzed, and (fingers crossed) Dolby Atmos sound (7.1 core mix).

There's a review up for the 3D on Cinemablend now.

Thanks DB5.
Really surprised they gave the 3D a 4/5+ review. Maybe this team has finally given 3D fans a stronger 3D experience.

I saw the 3D trailer in theaters. It's exactly the same 3D that Laika has shot post-Coraline. Despite ultra-conservative depth, it looks like a great movie anyway.

Thanks BleedOrange. Some rare shots look great in 3D for their films, but too few with too many shots being conservative as you mentioned. The movie looks promising, I agree. Sad to see it didn't earn much in theaters.

We saw it in 3D today. We really liked it. It's beautiful to look at--not a lot of pop-outs, but the 3D added something to the back and foregrounds. The film is a little slow, but there was so much to look at, I didn't complain; however, the preview for The Wild Life we saw before Kubo. . . had some of the best pop-outs I have ever seen in an animated film. I had never heard of the film--it's a take on Robinson Crusoe with animals, and the colors, especially a macaw, were stunning.

The Wild Life (2016) is called "Robinson Crusoe" in Europe.
It is strong 3D coming from Director Ben Stassen, who also directed "Sammy's Adventures, A Turtles Tale" and Thunder and the House of Magic.

I agree which is weird since the movie looks like a direct to video movie.
