Fantastic Beasts - The Crimes of Grindelwald 3D Blu-ray (2018) [Region Free]

[Wootini]

As with the first Fantastic Beasts, the sequel was clearly directed with 3D in mind from the start. And since it is also a good conversion, it makes for some spectacular visuals. Which is good, because the plot is overstuffed and muddled, and the ending should have said "To Be Continued" so it was kind of unsatisfying overall. But the visuals! I could tell from the trailer that this was something to see in 3D and I was right. Shots are framed with multiple layers (the apartment full of hanging sheets was a standout) and between the creatures flying at the camera and wizards aiming their wands into the audience, plenty of enjoyable pop outs.

Unfortunately, this was just a regular 3D screening. I know there were IMAX showings, but I'm not sure those were in 3D. I haven't seen anything listed in IMAX 3D on my AMC app yet... Because that would've definitely been the way to see it!
