Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows 3D Blu-ray (2016) [Region Free]

[Zivouhr]

Yeah, the 3D here is one of my in-theater favorites of 2014. I hope they have the same 3D team for part 2.

I just came back from a screening of this in RealD 3D.

Reviews are embargoed so I will avoid spoilers and concentrate on the 3D, which you'll all be pleased to know is much better than on the first movie (which I only saw theatrically in 2D, catching up with it in 3D on blu ray).

I thought the depth was medium/strong with clear object separation and a pleasing roundness to the turtles - very nice 3D even if it's mostly kept behind the screen. I find that CGI always looks nice in 3D and so it does here. But what impressed me were all the pop-outs, it's a fast moving movie so they tended to go by quickly but I'm sure I spotted a lot more than in the first film and they weren't all just projectiles (though there was a fair few of those).

The stand-out sequence for me to rival the snow sequence in the original was the one with all the action in and around a plane - Paramount need to be commended for sticking with 3D because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out Of The Shadows looks a treat.

I enjoyed the first. In a real rarity IMHO for a modern reboot, it genuinely captured the magic and feel of the original for me. That rarely happens when most these days seem to show such a contempt for the original material (like Man of Steel - urgh) that make you wonder why they bothered to remake at all.

You're going to love the end credits. And the movie.

I finally caught a 3D trailer of Turtles 2 yesterday and the 3D looks like medium layers but I hope I'm wrong and the movie itself surpasses what I saw in the trailer's 3D.

Thanks 13thman. Cool you got to see it early.
The 3D better than the first one? Better than the strong 3D of the snow scene? Sounds promising. Turtles 1 3D; my favorite theatrical 3D movie of 2014.

When it comes to depth one man's medium is another man's strong and I am rarely disciplined enough to make mental notes about layering but I do notice pop-outs, and there were just about enough of those to keep me happy throughout. In any case, if the first was was your favourite theatrical experience of 2014 you really should see this one, whether it's medium or strong to your eyes.

Where in London are you the13thman if you don't mind me asking

West London, though I spend a lot of time in central London (where I watched the film today) and I have lived in east London in the past.

When does the embargo end?

Indeed they are.

I really don't like to get sucked into rating depth and layering, even more so when I'm watching a film for the first time. I either notice the 3D (as I did with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out Of The Shadows) or I find my brain rendering it forgettable (e.g. large chunks of The Amazing Spider-Man).

Thanks. I know you have a preference for strong 3D, so your view of Turtles 2 3D gives me hope compared to what I saw in the 3D trailer, where they may have dialed the 3D down. Plus I'm a fan of the Turtles so I'll check it out either way.

Medium 3D I like. It's mild 3D I'm not a fan of except for distance scenery where it's appropriate. Strong 3D is the best though for the most exciting 3D, promoting 3D and gaining more 3D fans when the stereographers are planning and preparing the film's 3D.

No big deal, though comparing 3D and estimating the range is easier if I just remember the strongest 3D films I've seen (Pacific Rim 3D, Turtle's Tale 2, underwater in Creature from the Black Lagoon as a few fast examples) and then compare that visual memory of the 3D with what I'm watching on screen, but also flipping up my glasses to check out the levels of separation of the double image, depending on the layer being affected the most: Pop out, foreground, midground and background.

You made me more excited for the 3D. And more pop-outs? Hell yeah.
