Both were rushed conversions and both have a horrid cardboard cutout effect that characterizes bad conversions. 3D conversions work by breaking a 2D image into layers of depth. If enough layers are added it can nearly be indistinguishable from native 3D material. However with minimal time comes minimal layers and that brings a feeling that your watching talking cardboard cutouts rather then three dimensional human beings.

This movie and Clash of the Titans undid alot of the good will Avatar created for 3D. Releasing these on 3D Blu-Ray while Avatar and Toy Story 3 remain 2D only is practically mad. Luckily both came out after 3D has established itself as a permenant force. Had these movies come out in 2006 or 7 its possible they would have killed the new form of 3D before it got started.

I didnt see CotT in 3D, because I heard bad things.

I saw this one however, not having heard much, and loved the 3D. Heck, I'd even call it one of the few redeeming factors of the movie. I found it looking great when it needed too, and just subtle enough in the scenes without it.

Sure, it's not going to be the same as filming it like Avatar or RE, but this was definitely one of my favorite post conversions.

Absolutely will be buying (and on my birthday too!)

To be fair, this one is apparently notably better then the one that was put in theatres.

just got it from bestbuy and the thing that sucks about it is that its only the 3d blu-ray disc. It might be my own fault but i assumed it would at least come with the regular 2d blu-ray disc. and i know the 3d disc will work in 2d but i think it should have come with the 2d blu-ray and dvd copy.

Unhappy lacking everything

The movie is gorgeous, but like he said, it doesnt come with JACK. I was kinda upset about that. It was $29.99 at Best Buy today which was $5 more than the bluray,dvd,digital copy version that has all the extras. The 3D version is just the 3D bluray with a 2D version included. They didnt even give us a insert or a booklet or anything. It looks like one of the cheap movies you buy at walmart. I was let down on that! I love avatar and there is so much to it. How do you just leave all that out and charge alot for the 3D. Disney is where its at!! the christmas carol 4-disc 3D bluray set is amazing!! why cant other developers put just a little effort into the new tech.
