The way i can afford 3d blu-rays . i have to watch it just to be sure i wont be ruining my hard earned money. It would be a douche move if i wasnt buying them( but i do buy). however if the movie blows hard, i dont want to waste 50 dollars. hopefully u get the point. here in montreal every single new 3d blu-ray almost comes close to 50$ bucks after taxes.

me and my brother were doing that hardcore. sadly every single blockbuster video store went out of business in the last 8 months. now the local video store gets new movies quite a bit late after its release which really sucks. anyway stuff i watch in theaters and like is still blind buy.. prometheus and resident evil i saw in theaters and will buy the first day on blu-ray happily!

Is this movie not out in the US yet? Is already out in Mexico and the 3d combo pack (bluray 3d, bluray and DVD) cost 400 pesos, something like 30 dollars so not too bad for us

PS: I already have it and Im gonna watch it tomorrow

Me neither. I disagree with almost everything Sonnerfield said. Hugo and Avatar use more negative parallax than most movies and very rarely set convergence with everything behind the screen. His arguments for Will Smith's face looking better as a flat cardboard cutout and not being able to add CGI shadows to native 3D are completely absurd too. And if his costumes look fake on digital, couldn't they just improve the costumes, rather than hiding it with film grain? It might be easier for him to use 3D conversion, but the result certainly didn't look better than if he had used 3D cameras with a team of experienced stereographers. Not having to rotoscope beards and explosions is not the only benefit of native 3D. The big difference is that you don't have to rotoscope anything (except when they screw up a shot).

It's also strange that he is worried about longer lenses compressing the roundness of foreground objects in his gun barrel pop-out scene but finds the roundness of converted objects in extreme negative patallax perfectly acceptable.

I'm glad that he made MIB III in 3D and is excited about using 3D creatively, but there's really no reason to downplay the benefits of 3D cameras or to act like MIB III is a better 3D experience than Hugo and Avatar.

It is really odd when you think about it.

Maybe its for publicity because its hard to believe a man that intelligient and creative could really believe such absurdities..

It sounds like it was faster, cheaper, and easier for him to film in 2D and sculpt the 3D in post, rather than having to deal with the on-set problem solving associated with 3D cameras. Now, maybe he is just going overboard trying to justify his choice that conversion was the best way to create his 3D, artistically as well as logistically.

And I don't mean to be too down on the 3D. I saw it in theaters and have watched the trailers at home. As I've said before, I really liked how he used the 3D creatively but felt that faces and other objects looked slightly smushed, which prevented me from being fully immersed like I am when watching Avatar, Hugo, etc.

The 3d in this movie is amazing. You"ll notice that there is very little glare from your tv screen with this movie.....unlike some movies that are filmed with dark backgrounds presenting alot more glare because you have to adjust contrast or brightness to get more of a clear picture to see detail IMO.
