Can anyone tell me if the 3D quality in Mockingjay Part 1 is equivalent to the 3D quality in Mockingjay Part 2? I have heard the 3D quality in Mockingjay Part 2 being maligned but I just checked my copy (I have the UK release) and it looks pretty decent to me.

Mockinjay part 2 was expected to be a cheap cash in conversion, but it turned out to be an excellent conversion with mostly medium and some strong 3d. Not a top teir 3d presentation (like Hugo, TS Spivet) but just one notch below that, so similar to Batman V Superman and the likes. So absolutely well worth owning and one I won't be revisiting in 2d ever again (hence why i'm getting part 1 as well now hoping it is as good or close to it as part 2).

Most here once they saw it if I recall correctly thought it was very nice as well, though leading up to its release no one was expecting much (it is nice to be very pleasantly surprised).

Can't tell you about part 1 for another two weeks or so, but part 2 is deff worth grabbing at at the price for the double pack it is worth it already for just part 2 imho (I am assuming you like the films). Remember it is region b locked though, so you need to have a region b player or a region free player for the german release.

Mockingjay part 1 3D was first released on March 24, 2016, as an exclusive bonus disc together with the part 2 3D disc in Germany as part of The Hunger Games complete collection, as part of the 6 Blu-ray discs in the set. Then on August 4, 2016 Mockingjay- Parts 1 & 2 3D were released again as a 2 disc 3D Double Feature.

Thankyou for the correction, never saw that first pack. Very nice looking though.

The Last Emperor is already listed in post #4. It's not a strong conversion but it's not a throwaway one either. The transfer is rather bright and yellow so actually works better in 3D than 2D.

I would say that the 3D quality in Mockingjay Part 2 is better than it is in Part 1 (the same way the 3D in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is superior to Part 1)

Dark Country has a region free release from Turkey (with no forced subs like the French edition, too), so it can be removed from the OP.

The Turkey release seems to by unavailable for import, unless someone on ebay decides in the future to sell it.
The Country of Turkey requires a government PIN # for any consumer that wants to attempt to purchase a copy.

I have updated the OP, thanks.

I've ordered it from idefix.com, translation was a fiddle but the order seemed to go through...

Interesting.
You must have a Turkish government PIN # that all foreigners are required to enter for any purchase in Turkey.
That has been the case on every Turkish site I've tried, including idefix.com

Did you try to use your CC PIN, the same one you would use for cash advances ? Europe uses a lot of this PIN vs just magnetic strip and signature only like in the US. I personally would be concerned to give up my pin like that.

Same here.

No, I'd never give up the PIN on my card and obviously I have no Turkish ID. I just went through the standard ordering process, I put in my UK address and got an order number and everything. Maybe they'll cancel it, but right now the order stands...

UPDATE: I now have the disc, it arrived safely in a pillow of bubble wrap. So idefix.com is an option, at least to the UK...

Look at the 3rd post in that thread .....

If your still not sure about a movie ask in that exact movies thread (Most 3D movies have their own thread) or just ask in the thread i linked above.

Another option is do a 3D Movie search in search bar at the top of Blu-ray.com page , make sure you have all countries selected and see page listing for any Bluray movie and then look for PLAYBACK in info list . >

Thanks. All the info you've both responded with has been very helpful. Greatly appreciated.

Just got ICEMAN and looking at the back cover was afraid it was not as advertised - all region and English language.

No indication of region at all (a, b , c or all). The audio language was only described as Mandarin with English subtitles.

Put it in for a quick test. Fortunately, it worked perfectly in my A region player with an option for the English dubbed version. Didn't watch it yet.

Moral of this story? You can't always judge a disc by it's cover.

Does anyone know if this German 3D release of He is Dragon does indeed have English subs? Amazon's description says it does, but I don't trust that.

No, only German subs. Here is one source but I have others:

Besides that, do you know if this is actually 3D and not one of those bogus German 3D autoconversions?

It's legitimate 3D (based on user reviews), which is why I was interested in it. It's a shame it doesn't have English subs.

[noirjunkie]

Also, I found a German guy on Amazon who has hundreds of reviews in which he focuses exclusively on the merits (or lack thereof) of 3D transfers. It's a good resource for figuring out if a film has legitimate 3D or is just an autoconversion.

Very interesting. I had no idea Snow White and the Huntsman was available in 3D.
