3D Blu-ray Disc You LAST BOUGHT or WATCHED Thread

WOW, I can't believe how much fun Mr. Go was. The best good-old-fashioned family sports movie I've seen in a while. Excellent 3D. I wouldn't be shocked to see an American remake of this at some point (minus the wonderful native 3D and probably a lot of the charm).

Everyone was out, so I put on Salazar's Revenge 3D.

While this new movie is a solid effort, Stanger Tides is a stronger movie across the board.

Detail, color, and 3D were very strong with Stranger Tides, but just good with Salazar.

After a half-hour of Salazar, I paused the movie and turned on a TV boost for 3D.

Switched to LG Manual 3D (-3,+16) and Salazar's Revenge played much better.

It's a solid effort across the board, but not as enchanting as Stranger Tides 3D.

God bless that OLED

I'm fairly new to 3D, but I definitely need to pick up John Carter 3D, as I'm a huge fan of the movie in general. Very underrated, IMO.

As for my recent purchases, I've got A*P*E* on the way, and I can't wait!

John Carter 3D hasn’t had the best reviews but I saw it in theaters in 3D and have watched it several times at home. It’s definitely doesn’t have the strongest 3D around but it certainly makes it more immersive than watching it in pancake mode. To me, the most enjoyable 3D experiences transport and immerse you in strange and fantastic new worlds. That’s why some of my favorites, like Maleficent and Jupiter Ascending, don’t necessarily have to have the strongest 3D. The immersion can still be effective and enjoyable even if the parallax isn’t necessarily strong.

Watched:
War of the Planet of the Apes 3D - I missed seeing this in 3D at the cinema because there were so few showtimes and STRONGY prefer the 3D presentation. I remember hearing luke warm comments about the 3D but I thought the 3D was great. It’s not Doctor Strange strong but every scene had several, well defined layers of depth and I noticed no cross-talk or ghosting. There were a lot of really WIDE shots in this film and I noticed those those black bars on the sides of the screen for the first time with this disc but it was never distracting. In many scenes the 3D was so detailed that even individuals hairs of the ape’s fur seemed to have depth. I might be a little biased because I liked Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 3D a lot more than a lot of others did and I have watched it more times than any other 3D film in my library with the exception of maybe Jupiter Ascending and Maleficent. I didn’t like War quite as much as Dawn but it was very entertaining and both films are showcases of how far CGI has come. It’s hard to believe the apes aren’t real sometimes because they seem just as real as the humans they’re interacting with. I love Woody Harrelson in any role and can’t ever remembering wanting the human race to die out so badly in a film!

Hi Shaggy

After you see portals to the past, please share your thoughts with me. I thought it was fantastic considering the time period and of course, the historical context.

Hi kid

Told ya so!

Have you watched Stranger Tides 3D on your current setup?

As far as Salazar's Revenge 3D goes, for me it was along the lines of Rogue One 3D.

Once boosted, the 3D was nice enough.

bought Arthur Christmas 3D

If Mr. Go gets a American remake, i would be not happy, i feel a remake of this movie doesn't need to made.

Cancelled my Ceasefire preorder and ordered War for the Planet of the Apes.

[Joe D.]

Just ordered Battle for Terra.

Again, not released in North America but fortunately this German edition is all region and with an English audio track.

Depends if it's the actual 3D blu-ray. That one is harder to find, and is fairly expensive. It's the below one:



There's another version that looks like it, but it's one of those red green glasses ones. Made the mistake myself of picking that one up, not realizing it wasn't legit 3D. Kept the slipcover for when I can track down the other one at a reasonable price.

Thanx Darcy. More I read about it more I wanted it!

[Joe D.]

Just watched Hara Kari Death of a Samurai.

Great film. The story and performances will hold your attention to the final frame. Stunning photography too.

But I will agree with others that the 3D was luke warm. The 3D was there but it lacked depth on all aspects and reminded me more of simulated 3D.

However, it was not like watching it pancake. Again, like the simulation one can get out of a good blu ray transfer while salvaging all the detail and color saturation.

Still, if a disc is available in 3D, even if it does not draw one into the picture, it's that version that goes on my shelf if the movie warrants it. This drama definitely does.

I wasn't going to go to the flea market today, but I did....Good thing because I found
Captain America The First Avenger 3D and Avengers Age of ultron 3D.

10 bucks each. I was looking all over for these.
Well Age of ultron is still easy to find but its 35 dollars in stores and 29.99 online.
Captain America though I haven't seen anywhere for ages.

My movie guy said he got them Friday .

I still need Dr. Strange though.

I might be selling my Best Buy Doctor Strange 3D steelbook since I picked up the newer UK steelbook version recently.

I finally watched The Mummy in 3D this weekend.



Unsurprisingly, I enjoyed this a lot more in 3D than I did in 2D. I still find the film a not-scary dull-looking (boring bluey greeny grey visuals throughout) universe-building mess that's an excuse for Tom Cruise to do his lovable rogue thing and run a lot, but despite the Cruiser's charm falling desperately flat, the film moves at a fair pace and the zombies are the best I've seen in a PG13.

Needless to say, the 3D is at its best in the plane sequence, with the bird strike happening in your face. Shame there weren't more pop-outs like that really, as most of the 3D is depth-only. The film spends far too much of its time in tunnels and underground spaces, so the 3D enhances those nicely but the outdoor scenes in the forest are a bit dark to really pop. The London street scenes reminded me a little of Doctor Strange and Thor The Dark World but they were all too brief.

The bottom line for me is that this is another one of those conversions that won't convert anyone to the joys of 3D but if you have a good TV it will still impress far more than any pancake version could hope to, particularly given the muted palette.

I bought War for the Planet of the Apes from Best Buy last Saturday. The 3D was ok. It wasn't as good as in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

[MercurySeven]

Watched:



The surgery scene, the car chase shoot out, the cigar, the bird on a wire, and every second spent at the fairground: this is a 3-D novelty film through and through. The plot is laughable. But what strikes me whenever I put this disc in is the startling PQ for such an old B movie--combined with the deep, often innovative 3-D, it looks stunning.
