The Shock Labyrinth aka Senritsu meikyû (2009) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free] [USA only]

[Gae]

Why no mention of Blu-ray 3D on the cover? Is it anaglyph?

There's a 3D trailer or clip on YouTube and I seem to remember that the depth looked good.

Care to post the link? I searched but couldn't find it.

I have this blu-ray and the 3d is pretty good not best but not the worse either.

Gae - this is a full color 3d blu ray, not an anaglyph 3d version. Sorry I didn't specify. The copy I bought says 3d Blu Ray on the case however I couldn't find a .jpg link that had the same, I could only find the pic I hosted in post 1.

I could not find a stereoscopic version of the trailer, did find an example clip of the 3D in the film:

That's the clip I saw. There may be another one too.

Major thread necro but I figured I'd post here just so a dissenting opinion could be heard:

Stay far, far away. I usually like Shimizu's work but this is a piece of crap. It's nonsensical and oddly-structured, which is pretty much the norm for him. But it was a puzzle I didn't care about solving at all because all the characters were paper-thin and poorly-acted, there was no atmosphere, suspense, or scares, and the plot was ridiculously uninvolving. There are a few really laughable moments, but not enough to make it a guilty pleasure. Mostly it's just a bore.

The 3D is native and deep but also really poorly shot. It seems like the interaxial distance between the cameras was never adjusted, making for flat wide shots (not that there are many) and eye-gouging, hyperstereo close-ups. Lots of frame violations too, even on the showy "pop out" moments. Though the convergence on this thing is so bad that about 2/3 of the movie seems to take place outside of the screen - again, major headache inducer.

Also, I'm assuming this isn't the case on the Blu-ray, but this is available on Netflix in 3D and is pretty much unwatchable in that format since there's no English dub and the subtitles stay at screen level. Since a majority of shots have foreground objects out of screen, this screws with the subtitles very badly and your brain WILL hate you. You need to close one eye to read the things anyway. Much more comfortable to stick to 2D.

...but really, you just shouldn't watch the movie at all.

Thanks for the info on the 3D. Good point that if the interaxial (distance between the two 3D cameras) isn't adjusted closer for close up shots, it'll cause extreme 3D and beyond, to the point the eyes won't be able to join the two images into one, and cause serious eye strain if they try.
