Thats too bad! But yeah, i saw the list of atmos theaters and it was pretty small when put in context of all the theaters in the u.s.

Got to see trailers for Wreck-it-Ralph, Finding Nemo 3D, Monsters University and Hotel Transylvania. Thought they all looked great.

As for Brave, well I got to see about 50 minutes of it. My little one got scared when

[Show spoiler]Merida's Mum turned in to the bear.

Thought she might get over it but after 5 mins of her sat with her hands over her ears, we left.

Thought the 3D was decent. It certainly made Merida's hair look pretty realistic. It isn't in the same league as Tangled, which is my favorite from Disney as far as 3D goes.

I'll definitely pick it up on blu-ray 3D....just won't be watching it with my 4.5 year old, I guess.

Sorry to hear they were scared by the bear.

[Show spoiler]Were there any dragons or monsters in this one, or was it mostly a family in conflict storyline?

Anybody else catch this yet? If so, thoughts?


Oh and I got the 3D trailer for Wreck-it-Ralph at my screening. The 3D looks awesome for it. Can't wait to see it!

Best to date? I'm trying to think of what CGI cartoon Disney did that was amazing 3D. Bolt 3D was good 3D. They can't compare to Open Season's amazing 3D though. Up felt mostly flat for 3D despite some stand out 3D moments. Oh yeah, Beauty and The Beast 3D was in the awesome category for the 3D. Lion King 3D felt mostly flat compared to it and on its own. Brave's 3D reminds me of Up's 3D from the trailer. Good, but could've been amazing.

It's kind of like what might happen if "Tangled" and "How To Train Your Dragon" hit each other head on and became a new movie. I'd probably rather be watching "Brave" than "Tangled." But I don't like it nearly as much as "How To Train Your Dragon." At least it's not a musical.

Visually it is stunning though. I may buy it eventually, for the visual aspect. It will look awesome on BD-3D

This movie Brave, looks impressive, agreed.

I thought Mars needs Moms looked pretty good as well, at least on my setup it did. Tangled is surely the best disney 3d bluray ive seen so far. (havent seen lion king or beauty and beast 3d yet though)

Pixar 3D movies would be Up, Toy Story 1, 2, 3, Cars 2, Brave, and soon Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. Bob Whitehill is Pixar's stereoscopic 3D supervisor, and he also consulted on John Carter. For the most part his work looks good, but it is always very safe and conservative. Nothing is ever too flat, but he doesn't use much negative parallax and usually reserves nice strong image separation for only a few emotional moments in the story. Really, he gives the viewer nothing bad to complain about, but nothing to Wow! them either. He stands on the philosophy that a viewer should forget that he's watching a 3D movie, and no 3D effects should ever "distract" from the story.

I haven't seen Brave to comment on if Whitehill and the Pixar team tried to be more creative with the 3D this time though.

Never really was impressed with the conservative style of Pixar 3d.....Disney 3d seems more daring.

DREAMWORKS owns 3d.....every one of their movies has been a great addition to my 3d library.

[Show spoiler]Other than the bear, there was a witch but she wasn't particularly scary just a bit creepy looking. She was actually quite humerus. There were no dragons or monsters up until the point I left.

.

I think out of previous Pixar 3D movies, I'd say Cars 2 impressed me the most. The difference in watching that movie in 3D and 2D is HUGE! The depth and what I can only describe as 'shine' on the cars, from the 3D version of that movie, really made a big difference for me....especially the Tokyo scenes. Brave didn't top that for me.

I don't keep up with which 3D companies each of the movie makers use....but I'd say the Dreamworks stuff definitely beats most of what I've seen from Disney and Pixar.

I do have a real gripe about our cinema's 3D screen though. Yet again (same as with Madagascar 3D) I thought there was an odd tinge of color to the screen (yellowish). Looking forward to getting these movies on 3D Blu-ray and watching them at home.

From what they showed of the Nemo 3D trailer, The 3D looked decent but wasn't totally wowing me. Again, could just be, what's turning out to be, a not so great screen at our theater. It's just strange though...real life 3D (for example The Avengers) looked perfectly fine, color wise. Not sure what the issue is.

I forgot how good Cars 2 was in 3D. Well, maybe Cars 2 and Brave are a tie for me then

Yeah I thought the 3D looked decent too. It's hard to me to judge. It was never flat, but it felt like it wasn't fully popping either. I'm wondering if it's the cinemark screen I've been going to lately. I remember seeing the 3D nemo trailer at Muvico on one of their Sony 4k projectors and I think I was much more impressed with the 3D. Maybe it was a brightness or tech issue with Cinemark???(I usually have great 3D experiences with Cinemark, so maybe it could just be a one time mixed experience)

Awwwww man . Did you leave before they got to the really comedic bits with

[Show spoiler]Elinor as a bear? Cause I thought they did an amazing job making her human and not so scary haha XD

It's only the last two movies I have an issue with our 3D screen. All other 3D movies have had awesome color. It's a shame because it really spoils it for me. I like to see true, vibrant colors....and the tinge of yellow over it all just detracts from what should look gorgeous on the screen, in a movie like Brave.

We got to the

[Show spoiler]part where Elinor changes in to the bear and stuck it out for a while. After the initial running around in the castle, my little one put her glasses back on. I thought she was doing okay but then after they were in the woods and fishing for salmon and she went more bear like

, that was enough for her. She asked to go home so we did. We'd only paid for 1 of our 3 tickets so weren't too much out of pocket by leaving. Just wouldn't have been fair to let her sit there scared so my husband and I could finish the movie. I can wait for the 3D blu-ray.

Ah I see. Even to an adult like me those bears are pretty scary when their in full bear mode lol. I hope you little girl will be able to watch the rest of it eventually. The messages in it are so worthwhile imo

[Lovemy3D]

I like Blue Sky's 3D as well. "Rio"-"Ice age." Fantastic looking 3D.

Same thing happened when we went to UP a few years ago. A lot of kids started crying in the theater once the mean looking dogs showed up. Sometimes one has to wonder if PIXAR is confused about the audience

Was the yellow tinge intentional or a projector problem? I saw Coraline 3D and had to tell them to correct the screen, because half was all bright yellow, and a line right down the middle, the other half normal colors in 3D. Very strange.

3D PROJECTOR OR THE 3D MOVIE that is to blame for Weaker 3D?
From the Brave 3D trailers, the 3D looks good, but it could've been amazing if they dared to push it farther.
One way to tell if it's the movie's 3D that's lacking, is to carefully watch the 3D in the preview trailers before it. If even one of them has strong 3D, then the projector is playing correctly, and the film should be able to live up to it if it's also strong 3D. Anything less pretty much proves it's weaker 3D.

I saw Abe Lincoln 3D and it had average to weak 3D with some scattered stronger 3D moments, but it couldn't compare to the preview trailer of The Great Gatsby 3D that had strong 3D and played just before Abe 3D started, proving the projector was playing correctly.

As far as scares, I remember reading the Lion King's Hyena's scared kids, even though it's clearly not real and a cartoon. Of course at that age, every thing seems real I guess.

[kenny3001]

i watched it today in sony 4k but with 5.1 not even Atmos and i enjoyed much better than cars 2 but im looking forward to the 3D blu-ray

[Blucollect]

Jude72, this movie was crafted in native 3D with 3D viewing in mind. your child should not have taken the glasses off, CGI viewing with the glasses off results in motion blur and other side effects.

i am sorry the bear scared your child, the 3D blu is out now, it is a 5 disc pack as follows:
Blu-Ray 2D+Bonus features part 1
Blu-Ray Bonus disc (part 2)
Dvd+Bonus features (Part 3)
Disney File Digital Copy (to take wherever you go)
Blu-Ray 3D (Film in 3D and Legend of Mordu in 3D as well, locked to 3D tv's, if you are hooked up to a 2D TV you will be greeted with a message and you'll have to use the 2D or DVD discs. if you are hooked up fully you can view it as such. but since again we have the scary bear scene you do not have the option of switching disc 5 (Blu-Ray 3D) into 2D mode as disney specifically disables the 2D playback software, you will be forced to use the Blu-Ray 2D disc or the DVD).

in short disney locks their 3D films to 3D TV's made to be viewed in 3D and that's it. you do not have the option to view it in 2D mode. i would advise you tell your child the 3D disc is locked to 3D, you do not have the option to view it in 2D and you have no other choice.

the rule here with that is that only happens if the 2 versions are a 3D/2D combo disc which disney doesn't do. everybody else does like Sony Pictures Animation.

here is how this type works:
1. on startup you will be given a prompt to choose a version
2. sometimes this is in the discs menu to pick 3D or 2D
3. other times this is indicated by pictures
4. with this type the film is very often 3D only no bonus features, no extras, thats it. go to the 2D side for the film glasses off with special features.
5. if hooked up to a 2D TV the 2D version is picked for you
6. if hooked up completely you get a choice and the menu displays as such.

hope your childs viewing experience in Disney Blu-Ray 3D goes better this time.

if you want another disc we will put in the 2D disc. since the bear was viewed with the glasses on, scary objects like the bear (CGI, tell her the bear is not real, 3D CGI makes it convincing enough that it is) are computer programmed. tell her it is not real, it is Computer Generated by professional CGI animators in Emeryville, California.

[levcore]

This is such a gorgeous looking animation and despite it being the usual reserved Pixar 3D, I think the 3D absolutely adds a lot to the experience and really enhances the rich visuals. I love the music too. I think this is probably my favourite Pixar movie all round.
