I'll go and see it today and form my own opinion. I usually like movies that critics and popular media pan and the vice versa also holds true. Popular movies like Gravity I thought was meh. The media spoke of it like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It bored me and the 3D was average.

Edit: Also why did The Conjuring make so much damn money? I mean, I thought it was alright but seriously??? Yet another example of something mega overhyped and over consumed. I wouldn't bother getting it on blu ray. *gets off soap box*.

Yeah, other than the interior shots which had stronger 3D, most of Gravity had medium 3D with some mild 3D in there also.

RONIN 47: Enjoyed the movie despite the slow pacing, limited acting, and lack of more action, but felt the characters and story were well done. Ends on a sad note I'd say.
The action that is in 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves is good with a few nice sword fighting scenes, 4 CGI monsters/humanoids and Keanu Reeves does a nice job fighting as I would hope, though his line delivery as usual could use less rigidity and be more natural as he offered in Speed, even though this character is more stoic and reserved. He plays an outcast here.
Enjoyed the movie but not sure if I'd rush out to buy it on blu ray 3D because the 3D didn't push it.

3D Review of 47 Ronin: As suggested above, medium 3D at the very best, with a good number of mild 3D shots throughout the movie but also some very nice medium 3D layering here and there. Nothing special about the 3D sadly, but it's decent. For conversions, Pacific Rim's stronger 3D destroys the 3D in 47 Ronin, for comparison. Didn't notice a single conversion error but that's not too difficult to accomplish with mild to medium 3D.
