Clash of the Titans got the worst reviews of all time for a 3D conversion, however, with the Polar Express and a few other movies coming out on the 16th of november it is at least a step in the right direction with regards to the exclusive deals. I'm excited!

I can't imagine any hardware manufactorur would bid for Clash of the Titans exclusivity. They would want something that can show off there hardware for all its worth. Clash of the Titans underrepresents there equitment.

You're totally missing the point brother. We all know it's a bad conversion. But, like I said, it's a step in the right direction, especially with the other 6 3D movies being released that very same day.

Alleviating the scarcity of 3D Blu-ray titles at retail, Warner Home Video has announced that on November 16 it will release six 3D BDs unfettered by exclusive hardware bundles: Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (WHV's first 3D day-and-date title), Clash of the Titans, The Polar Express, and the IMAX documentaries Deep Sea (previously Sony-exclusive), Space Station (previously bundled with LG hardware overseas) and Under the Sea (previously LG-exclusive).

"This is an exciting time in the industry and we are thrilled to be a part of this evolution in home entertainment," said Dorinda Marticorena, SVP of worldwide marketing and high-def. "As sales of Blu-ray 3D hardware increase during the holidays, we wanted to ensure that consumers have access to a diverse selection of 3D content, not attached to an exclusive bundle, which will showcase the amazing possibilities of this brilliant new format – and this is just the beginning.

All these 3D Blu-ray releases will include 2D BD versions of the films. Clash and Cats & Dogs 2 will come in BD/DVD/Digital Copy combo packs. The latter will include as a bonus "Coyote Falls," a new Looney Tunes short - animated in 3D.

Suggested retail price is $44.95 for each BD.

As I posted elsewhere, COTT has received a going over by WB. The result is a much better 3D presentation. I and a few others who got this disc from Amazon.de give it a overall thumbs up.

It is nice to get more 3D content

Problem is a bad conversion does the same thing for 3D that anaglyphs do. They do nothing but leave a bad taste in people mouths are hurt the 3D lable. Personally Id rather have less content then more content that will embarrass the young 3D tech.

Aparrently, Clash recieved some work after its theatrical release making it a better experience. How much better I do not know. At least it sounds like they made a bit of an effort to fix things.

Thats good to hear if its true. My point is if Clash is simply slapping the theatrical 3D presentation onto Blu-Ray 3D it would actually be a negative for the format. Ill wait to read reviews of the American version of this disc and see if it corrects issues present in its theatrical print.

Reviews of the german disk say it was reworked for blu-ray; its still crappy but 3d starved people will buy it.

I might have to sell my 2D copy and pick this up around Christmas

I saw it in the theater and it was unbearable. I bought the 3D Blu from Germany, and on my 58" Panasonic, it's still really bad. It's better, but it's still really bad. It's extremely easy to tell how rushed the conversion was. Plus, when you view it flattened to 2D using the 3D disc, you can see halos around objects that are in fast motion, due to the rotoscoping required for a 3D conversion. It's a good thing they kept the 2D disc separately for this release.
For a native 3D production, watching it downconverted to 2D is fine, but these conversions...whoo...they really mess with the original image for both eyes.

the only decent 3D on the CotT 3DBRD is the opening sequence. the rest is, unfortunately, still pretty awful.

Im wondering why on Earth Warner would release this in its first wave of 3D titles instead of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I know Journey to the Center of the Earth wasn't that great of a movie either. However it was the first full length movie shot with native digital 3D cameras and it delievers in its 3D presentation. Clash of the Titans is maybe a slightly better movie but it delievered a presentation that has become synomous with "BAD 3D." n Warner should have held back this title until it can be released in a 3D presentation equaling proper conversions like The Nightmare Before Christmas or Alice in Wonderland.

It all depends on the system in which you watch it. We have won best 3D at CEDIA playing the medusa and kraken chapters plus scenes from under the sea. The Potato Cod was the superstar of the CEDIA show.

I certainly did. I purchased the movie from Amazon's German site(I never saw it in the cinema so I'm unable to compare) for a total of 35 pounds(UK price). Having said that I wish I hadn't bothered. The 3D was minimal at best and almost flat in most areas.

Still, as others on this post have said, 3D content(no matter how bad) is better than no 3D content.

That said, I'm eagerly awaiting another 3D conversion(admittedly one that was filmed specifically with 3D in mind) and that's Tim Burton's vision of 'Alice in Wonderland'. If the 3D trailer I saw for it on the Disney 3D Showcase disc is anything to go by the whole film should be awesome!

Anyway, that's my opinion.

John.

I disagree. If someone wants everything in 3D turn on one of those silly real-time converters. However the Blu-Ray 3D standard should be a sign of quality. Id rather watch 2D then a substandard 3D conversion anyday. Bad conversions like Clash of the Titans hurt the Blu-Ray 3D brand and in my opinion slow the growth of the format just like anaglyph releases do.

I actually think those real time convertors do a better job then what was done for the theatrical release.

I disagree. It likely only seemed that way due to the size of the screen makes the flaws more apparent. As bad as Clash of the Titans was it easily surpassed even at its worst moments anything Ive seen from a real-time converter.

[Khee Mao]

as far as 3D goes Clash is at the bottom of the heap. pure rubbish. period. end of discussion.

A bit off-topic, but the converters from what I've seen on my new Samsung are great for PS3 games. Both Borderlands and God of War 3 show off some great depth.
