Cirque du Soleil Journey of Man 3D Blu-ray (2000) [Region Free]

[Dubstar]

Given that the film was a IMAX release, thankfully Sony is not pricing the disc like Warner's IMAX 3D blurays (i.e, really expensive for a feature that is essentially under an hour)

it's up for preorder over at Amazon: Cirque Du Soleil: Journey of Man ($14.99)

I'm glad Sony is releasing this and hopefully (fingers crossed) and I assume it's a new remastered edition - the DVD edition is quite frankly hideous and in serious need of a new transfer.

The DVD is listed as 1.33 aspect ratio, where the 3d blu-ray is at 1.78.

It looks like Sony is releasing (via Columbia Tri-Star) a second cheapie Blu-Ray 3D title on the same date: "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011: The 3D Experience"

I think that deserves it's own thread.

^ I agree

back on topic though - I'm especially glad that Sony is releasing this quickly, so I'll finally see the 3D effects as it was originally filmed as such (the IMAX version I saw was only in 2D)

I saw it in 3d, but I don't remember a whole lot.


Here is a comment I found on amazon:

I saw "Journey of Man" in 3-D and felt I could catch the Banquine flyers in my lap. The movie is the next best thing to a live Cirque du Soleil show, even though nothing compares to the being there. The soundtrack, written by Benoit Jutras, not only proves to be a great background for the film, it is great to listen to even without visuals. I hope this movie is eventually released on DVD.


I'm hoping for the same 3d effects.

The 3D in this movie is beautiful especially watching it on my 100 inch projector screen, but I can see where some would be disappointed in this being this is not a throwing things in your face 3D film it's more about depth. Another thing is that when
watching this movie in active 3D from the opening is very disorienting since the eye view for image is inverted, besides The Walk(2015) this is the only 3D movie I've had to turn on the 3D sync Invert.

Strange that nobody else has mentioned the left and right image being swapped at the opening.

There are lots of cheap copies on eBay at the moment. Just bought one for $12.31 shipped. And, thanks to your recommendation, I just bought Worlds Away for fifteen and change. Never heard of either of these before; can’t wait!

I picked up both of the Cirque 3-D releases and I think they’re pretty fabulous. I’d highly recommend both.
