Thanks. Good description of experiencing the movie in 3D.

Blu-ray 3D with a sometimes great and enjoyable MVC-encoded transfer, showing excellent dimensionality in nearly every scene. However, there is both a good and bad to the presentation, largely thanks to the limitations of the technology and the photography of the time. Parallax is to the extreme, giving the image a gracious amount of depth but it also strains the eyes, shows a good deal of crosstalk and exposes ringing around the edges of many objects. The background penetrates deep into the screen, creating an exaggerated sense of space and distance. Overall, the picture has that sort of pop-up book effect that's less-appealing, more comical and flat than convincing. The most fun to be had are the various laughable gimmick shots where objects protrude from the screen and make viewers flinch.
