JUPITER ASCENDING 3/5
PQ: 5/5
AQ: 5/5
3D: 4.5/5
ATMOS: 5/5

It is one messy film that is also filled with action movie cliches one after another. Yet, i still found myself enjoying this hot mess of a film. Kunis is a reincarnated being who pretty much created the human race which live on several planets throughout the universe. Turns out the Wackowski's have something against the human race. We were batteries for The Matrix and a soylent green bathing juice here. Its pretty much a reference disc fir the picture and sound. Great consistant overhead speaker action, which really shined in the Chicago escape and grand finale. I found the 3D pretty good, nothing really poking out at you but always showing a great use for beyond the screen spacial depth. So I know it is confusing, messy and cliched action movie, but its a guilty pleasure i'm willing to admit too.

Keep forgetting to post my reviews for these 3D films.
Guess I'll do it now


Watched:
Finding Nemo

This was a pretty good surprise after some of the comments I have read on here in the past. Many people have explained how disappointing this release was compared to the Sammy movies. I get that there are many opportunities in the film where they could have Marlin or Dory come out of the screen but I feel the 3D is already great as it is (plus I feel the fish coming out of the screen would probably produce a lot of ghosting on my TV). The depth in this is very plentiful and is ever so noticable throughout the movie. You will oftenly see specks of dust and bubble of in the distance and in front of characters. It is stuff like this that makes me appreciate the effort that went into the conversion. Also ghosting is not an issue in this title as per normal in a Disney title.

Cars

Talk about disappointing the depth was so inconsistent. Off the bat ghosting in this film can be very noticeable in certain scenes. The depth can range from medium to pretty much nothing at all. This was a very disappointing experience especially since this is one of my least favorite Pixar films. I was really hoping the 3D would improve this movie but it didn't. Nuff said.

Mad Max Fury Road

Now this was MIIIIIIIIIIIIILES better than Cars movie wise and 3D wise. Talk about a memorable and quotable movie. You would think with a movie like this the action would get dull and repetitive the more times you watch it but I feel this movie just gets better and better. Talk about depth for a movie that takes place in sandy landscapes the 3D is pretty great. Lots of great eye popping action and set pieces. Honestly this movie deserved the best picture award way more than Spotlight. I can barely even remember what happened in Spotlight and it won BEST PICTURE. It just boggles my mind.

Lego Batman

Not much to say on this one. The 3D is about the same as The LEGO Movie. The depth more or less adds a realistic sense to the movie. Makes it feel that much more real as if the toys are actually there and not CGd. Also found this movie to be very enjoyable. Not quite as good as The LEGO Movie but definitley very funny and a great addition to the inevitable Lego franchise.

and Finally
Inside Out

I have debated with myself on this one but I think this might be my favorite Pixar film. While I love every single Pixar film (with the exception of the Cars franchise) no other film has been able to make me feel the amount of emotions I felt during this. Riley is by far one of the most relatable characters in all of Pixar history. Just beyond Andy from Toy Story they are able to put us right in the shoes of Riley and feel exactly how she feels. This is a movie that absolutely everyone needs to see. There is so much truth and heart in film I just love it. As far as 3D goes its pretty decent. I would say its between the first Toy Story and and Finding Dory in the 3D category.

You're being very generous to Pixar there, I don't ever get any ghosting from any of their films - partly because I have a good TV, partly because Disney 3D is so mild. I think that far too many 3D reviewers give their films an easy ride simply because they like them and the animation is unrivalled in quality. Funnily enough, of the three you mention it was Cars that I thought benefitted the most from being in 3D (it's a long two hours without it) while Inside Out and Finding Nemo, as pretty as they are, were massively disappointing due to the conservatism of their 3D.

I watched The LEGO Batman Movie last night and was pleased at the amount of mild pop-outs I noticed, there were plenty - I probably would have missed most of them at the cinema but at home I was looking out for them. The 3D wasn't nWave strong but at least it made all the models look properly three-dimensional with good separation between all the various on-screen elements - a blessing when the screen gets busy. It could have been stronger, but the 3D was for me a noticeable step up from The LEGO Movie, which I felt had far too many shots of objects/characters in front of out-of-focus backgrounds, the most crushingly boring non-use of 3D you can have.

That's interesting...

While watching Lego Movie 3D, I thought the 3D was excellent.

It was like they put the 'camera' inside each scene to maximize the 3D feel.

With Lego Batman 3D the 'camera' felt further out (as in designed for 2D first).

For me, Lego Movie 3D was a near-perfect 3D experience and a better movie too.

[cyberghostx13]

Watched last night, and not impressed. Not that funny, characters were lame especially the bad guy. Now for the 3D it was unspectacular and has more than a little ghosting. I rate the movie a 4.

[cyberghostx13]

This was a lot of fun to watch and the 3D really elevated the movie from a lame plot and script. The action was pretty good thruout with a few popouts. Depth was excellent thruout the movie and minimal ghosting. I rated the movie an 8.

To be fair to The LEGO Movie, I haven't watched it on 3D blu ray yet, I just remember being underwhelmed by it theatrically though I do agree that it's a better movie.

It's your TV that has the ghosting, not the movie on the disc.

[grodd]

Watched Wreck it Ralph. Enjoyed the 3D a lot. Great creative use and nice depth. The 3D gets 8.5 out of 10. Glad I bought it.

[cyberghostx13]

Well I'm trying to get the logic of if a movie has ghosting it's the TV that is bad and not the making of the movie itself. Are all 3D movies equal when it comes to viewing? In my opinion, no they are not. If one's TV is bad then wouldn't all 3D movies play badly on that TV? In my opinion, yes they would. So having watched over 25 movies on my TV I have seen great 3D watching movies like "The Walk", Avatar, G.I. Joe, Alice In Wonderland, OZ, San Andreas, and The Martian and all have been excellent 3D watches on my TV.

Some movies that were bad on my older plasma active 3D are now flawless on my OLED TV. Misalignment is a source issue, but ghosting is not. They never mess up when they create the separate frames for each eye. Only the TV/glasses can mess that part up. That's how I understand it, but there's some guys like Paul in here that really know this stuff up n down.

I may do my first 3d Blu-ray splurge in a good while today. I really want to get Doctor Strange 3d but it's not orderable anywhere I know of (the fact that Amazon and Disney are not ending their petty spat over Disney releases is driving me nuts too) along with some other 3d movies I wanted. I feel like I should just buy these movies opening week from now on because I'm tired of getting screwed over waiting for double dips or price drops >

You can import Doctor Strange 3D from just about any country and it will be region free. Also try searching ebay and make sure to set your search to worldwide. The German steelbook can be found for pretty cheap or just the amaray blu ray 3D.

All professionally authored Blu-ray 3D movies are 100% ghost-free where the left and right images are equally artifact-free like their 2D version. This is easily verifiable using discrete 3D personal viewers that separate the left image for the left-eye and the right image for the right eye. Ghosting depends entirely on a display system's polarization efficiency.

Disney Movie Club is another way to get a hold of this title at a reasonable price.

Not that you need me to back you up, but having watched several 3D movies with no ghosting at all on my VR headset, it is a very pleasant experience for all those pop-outs to look so clear and easy on the eye.

Sorry, I'm not in the know. What is that discrete 3D viewer ? Looks interesting.

It looks good on the pop out , but on the depth, kinds middling

Bought Dark Of The Moon and The Green Hornet.
