Noah 3D Blu-ray (2014) [Region Free]

[GenPion]

Not sure what to think about this 3D release. I saw the film today for the first time and was greatly impressed by it. It's a visually marvelous film, too, and lends itself to being something that would look great in 3D. However, as this was a conversion and not an effort done in native 3D I am just not sure if it's really going to be impressive. Add to that fact that the filmmaker is not a fan of 3D and this was a studio mandated 3D conversion for the global release outside of the US and many other territories, and I'm not sure if it would be worth importing. The early words aren't exactly inspiring me to consider it but I am curious anyway as a 3D fan.

I picked up the Target exclusive which is probably the closest to a 'director approved' edition, with all of the bonus materials. I also think the artwork on the slip is fitting. Comparatively, I'm not sure how I feel about the art of the steelbook, but I am also someone who is a major steelbook fan (and it sure outclasses the standard art under the exclusive slip version).

So the German edition would have a steelbook and 3D presentation (two things I love), but the 3D might be bad, and I sort of prefer the slipcover artwork on the Target one, which is basically a director approved quality of release.

Hmmm.... I should probably stick to the one I have but I am still wondering about the 3D.
