Thor: The Dark World 3D Blu-ray (2013) [Region Free]

[whippet]

Saw this on the release night last night. Pretty interesting plot just like the first one though the acting is very mediocre. All the emotions are muted, which is not always a bad thing.

3D was not strong but consistent - not as good as the trailer in my opinion. Watched half the movie up close and was getting a ton of crosstalk. Moved 5-6 rows back and enjoyed it a lot more from that viewing distance. Nothing in this movie wowed me and I'm not that pumped about owning it or showing it to friends, kinda like Percy Jackson. I had the opposite feeling after watching Pacific Rim, Wolverine, RIPD, or WWZ.

Trailers were really impressive!
Need for Speed - medium to low 3D
Hobbit pt2 - medium 3D (hoping for HFR again)
Captain America - medium to low 3D
47 Ronnin sp - strong 3D

Thanks Whippit. I'll keep this in mind, as well as the other reviews.
Thanks also for the trailer info. A movie called Need for Speed 3D? Cool. NFS Rivals also this month for PS4.

Yeah, Hobbit 2 and 47 Ronin look really nice in 3D, and can't wait to check out Captain America Winter Soldier in 3D at last.

Now watching: THOR 3D. Mostly Medium 3D. Nice conversion.

I wasn't impressed with the 3D in this and didn't think it added much to the movie. The movie itself was OK but it is the weakest of the recent Marvel releases. I must say I was a little disappointed in this.

Movie is pretty mediocre and the 3D is weak.

Unless they're doing it for international, it's not scheduled to be 3D. Maybe they're confusing it with an Imax upconversion? It was definitely not shot in 3D. (Hell, part was shot with GoPro cameras...)

I see what you're saying, though I'll say the movie was good with some nice action and scenery, and some pretty cool villains and lots of Star Wars laser ship shoot outs with hints of Star Trek Into Darkness. A couple people I saw it with; one liked it, the other didn't much. Good action, good fights, but I'll admit the warping stuff will take some getting used to. Fun movie IMO and it didn't take itself too seriously.

For the 3D in Thor The Dark World, it actually surpassed that 3D trailer I saw a few times with mostly low medium to medium 3D and a few weak 3D shots, but never strong 3D as in parts of Iron Man 3, Avengers 3D for Marvel. I'll round it out to mostly medium 3D, pretty good and about on par with Thor 1 and Captain America's 3D.

Captain America 2: Winter Soldier's 3D looks very nice. Medium 3D. They included a whole action scene in the preview, as GI Joe 2 did in their 4 minute preview back in February. Cap 2 3D is 4/4/14.

You're right. I thought it was going to be a 3D trailer but it was only 2D. Sorry about that. It looks entertaining for a car race movie, but hopefully not too much like Fast and Furious.

Previews in 3D:
Hobbit 2: 3D looks great, upper medium, some strong filmed 3D.
Captain America 2: Winter Soldier's 3D looks very nice. Medium 3D.
X Men Days of Future Past 3D: Medium to strong filmed 3D. Great.

I was hoping we'd see The Seventh Son 3D and I Frankenstein 3D trailers, but not yet.

On retrospect I'm disappointed we didn't get those trailers I thought the 3D trailers of 47 Ronin, and X-Men were freaking awesome! 47 Ronin had some weird issues though with the 3D in the new trailer that I didn't see in the teaser trailer in 3D when I saw Gravity. Nothing terrible, but slightly weird lol. X-Men just looked...perfect in 3d...lol

The 3d trailer for Captain America kicked serious *** though!!! The depth looked great though some of the camera cuts were a little too quick. Looked amazing though!


I also thought Thor: The Dark World was freaking awesome and had absolutely kick*** 3D! Saw it in Cinemark xD and I was very pleased and impressed. One of the best Marvel post conversions yet imo I thought the scene with the kids dropping stuff in the portals made creative use in 3D imo and I absolutely adored the much needed and increased dynamics of everyone related to Thor. The dynamics between Thor and Odin and the depth it had particularly surprised me (

The only complaint I think I have is that, as awesome as the actor is and intimidating the character is, the villain Maliketh was a bit weak. Maybe I missed some stuff but his character didn't quite feel as explained and important as he should have been. I may have missed something though and those thoughts could change on second view though

Overall a fantastic time at the movies and I cannot wait to get this on 3d bluray!!!!!

Mseeley,

Cool. It was a fun movie, agreed. I loved the Star Wars Tie Fighter- like action scenes too. Never did I expect that in a Thor movie. The alien ships were like flying knives, cutting up everything in their path.

The main Dark Elf villain's goal was to

[Show spoiler]merge with the red mist, to become a super man to take over the universe alignments, and rebuilld his species, but Thor had something to say about that. I liked the villain, but agree he should have had a few more key moments in the movie, to flesh out the character and give him some decisions to deal with.

I liked his main cohort villain, who was nearly indestructible. Good stuff. And the look of his home world was cool also, with the green atmosphere.

The 3D could have pushed it more like in Pacific RIm, but what is here is good, and better than I was expecting (expectations play a big role in perception), agreed.

Yes, 47 Ronin's 3D was very nice, and I also noticed a couple weird 3D shots in the trailer which all boils down to the 3D editor, when they were playing around with the convergence controls. It changed the depth too quickly before the eyes could adjust, but in the final movie, oftentimes the movie builds up to those shots gradually, unlike in a quick cutting trailer, which also could have been converted separately.

Thanks!

I saw Thor: Dark World tonight. This is one of the best movies I've seen this year. There were so many visually awesome scenes, the action was intense and there was some good humor too. The 3D perfectly complemented the action and was consistently good throughout. I also saw the trailers for I, Frankenstein, The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, and 47 Ronin. They all look awesome!!! 2014 is going to be a banner year for 3D!!!!
