The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey 3D Blu-ray (2012) [Region Free] [Both Cuts]

[AmrlKJaneway]

There is currently no such thing as a 3D movie mastered in 4K. The Hobbit was shot in 5K, but not even the CGI was rendered at this resolution.

You make it seem like its never been done, when, on the contrary….it has, namely with an 800 Mbps 4K 3D DCP.

I should have said feature length film. Everything has been tested.

Very interesting read, thanks for posting! A guy called Douglas Trumball is planning a sci-fi epic at 120fps, and in the seventies he showed off test reels of 70mm film that ran at 60fps!

We'll see 4k 3D in commercial feature films soon enough, though. Avatar 2, 4k 3D @ 60fps, maybe?

Man you don't call Douglas Trumbull "a guy".

Highly doubtful as that projector system upgrade (i.e. 4k 3D @ 60fps capable) would be too expensive for widespread adoption by theater owners for general cinema use when AVATAR 2 is released.

The most one could probably hope for (if it were indeed even mastered at that resolution to begin with) would be very unique exhibitions of the motion picture at venues such as the premiere or other special industry events.

I am interested to know what people here think of this.

I read through the thread and its mainly people talking about the HFR. So what do you think of this and how well do like the 3D?

My active display made the 3D quite hard to focus on, especially during any fast movement or quick movement close to the camera. It's so hard to focus on, i actually prefer the 2D version.

That didn't happen at all with my setup. The only movie where I experienced that was Step Up 3 when the kids are being chased by the cops in the beginning.

Maybe TruMotion or some other frame interpolation process was on?

Sorry to hear of your dissapointing experience! Haven't seen anything like that on 3 different setups to date. The 3D encode has been reported as delivering exceptional delineation, especially with compression spread generously across two 3D BD-50 discs.
Refresh-rate specific problems first comes to mind from the display, or possibly ghosting from the active glasses, display, or even possibly HDMI cable-line bleed, leaving image persistent remnants across the L & R encodes that you could interpret as focus problems during fast movement.

Edit: (Checking fast movement and focus.) Would like to add that when using a Head Mounted Display the left and right images of the 3D MVC encode are displayed as separate 2D images, each with its own screen. Comparing these images to the 2D version reveals the same impeccable quality, that are equally well-resolved in motion.

My new favorite 3D movie. Amazing depth. Feels like you are in Middle Earth
