Quote:

Reality and video games merge in this high-concept sci-fi action thriller from Crank creators Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. In the not too distant future, mind-control technology allows humans to control the actions and movements of other humans, allowing reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) to create the ultimate video game. It's called "Slayers," and it's a mass-scale, multiplayer online first-person shooter that's as controversial as it is popular.

Similar to the "Hunger Games" theme?

No mention of 3D in technical production specifications (because it's a conversion).

I would rather have Crank, but I would give this one a go, but wouldn't pay much for it. I have the DVD but haven't watched it.

Sweet! Hope the conversion is good

+1 On Crank.

This and Crank just will not work in 3D, the editing is too quick for the 3D effect to work properly.....

You could be right there. Hopefully it looks good. I can think of some scenes that will look good though.

This movie is perfectly serviceable for mostly mindless action. The performances are deliberately over the top, which makes it even better. Far better than similar titles like Running Man or Nerve.

HELL NO! This doesn't come anywhere even remotely close to the joy of Running Man.

Ugh. Agree to disagree. I'd bet you've got a bit of nostalgia influencing your thoughts.

I saw Running Man for the first time this year. Elements I liked but I was bored.

32.

I haven't seen Godfather, Casino or Scarface yet (have them all, though).

I'll admit, it's a lot harder for me to like older movies. I still think OHMSS is one of the best Bond movies I've seen, so I'm not against them all. Lol.

Cool movie.

I need to check this out once more cause I hated it the first time I watched it. I can't remember if I even finished it.

Law212 · 08-10-2020, 01:53 PM

I have only seen this in 2D,but i have had the 3D version for a while.
WHen i saw it in 2D it thought it was a fun movie, so i look forward to seeing it in 3D

UFAlien · 08-15-2020, 06:07 PM

I've never seen the movie in full, but I did see some screenshots and clips of the 3D version, and it's clearly an auto-convert. I don't even mean the "computer-assisted" conversions like Fox did on the other titles Zivouhr mentioned - this is a warpy mess that's not only shallow but has little to no accurate depth placement. At least Predator was a relatively clean conversion even if it was as deep as a puddle.

I've heard that the picture quality of the 2D version on the 3D disc is better than the picture quality of the previous 2D only blu-ray release. Is this true?

$6.25 now on amazon. ($9.38 - $3.13 coupon).

Never seen it. For the price of a Starborks latte... I'll indulge.
