Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (2014) Blu-ray 3D [Region Locked]

[Zivouhr]

Sin City 2's 3D was in the mostly high medium, strong 3D range, with some regular medium shots mixed in.

As far as consistency, I agree with Dubstar in that the biggest problem I saw with the 3D was the fact that Rodriguez films too many close ups of the face, which brings the face into the majority of the screen, leaving little effectiveness to the 3D effect which got flattened out on the closeups.
Otherwise, when he zoomed out, the 3D was strong and mostly effective and very nicely done. XD3D Cinemark theater showing.

The 3D is definitely worth seeing despite all of the face closeups. With high contrast black and white and some gray tones of the comic book style, I noticed a lot of ghosting of lights in building windows, which is unavoidable most times with stronger 3D. I personally don't mind it, as if 3D eventually goes glasses free, this will not be a problem as long as the Glasses Free 3D Tech is able to completely block out all vision of the other eye's angle, unlike with 3D glasses, which can't completely block out the other eye's light.

Sin City 2 is more interesting than the first one in terms of story and characters and more action. Marv is a major character this time, which was what I was hoping.

That's a bummer their close-ups are too flat. Faces have a lot of dimension in real life when you get up close and should mimic that in 3D movies. I'd still like to see this for myself eventually.

Agreed. Close-up moments are perfect areas for 3D to manifest realism. Some of my favorite emotional moments in one of the best native-3D movies out there, The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet has superb dimensional close-up segments. Love 3D realism.

I thought the first one was better. Having Marv being a bigger part of the movie was a plus, but the first one had the Bruce Willis.Jessica Alba story and Elijah Wood was a great villain.

Yeah...I was surprised this flick bombed as bad as it did here in the states.

The problem to me seems like they marketed the film towards those who where already going to see it. Meaning there marketing failed to get anyone but the fanboy/girl interested. I felt the same way regarding Kick-Ass 2 last year.

Agreed on all fronts.

That being said, I will not be surprised if we dont see a 3D blu release. HOPE I'M WRONG!!

In America I have no idea. But there will be on in Australia and basically everywhere else in the world. America's blu-rays are just in a weird state at the moment. Hell, when I view WB doing a better job then Disney overall with home releases something is very strange indeed.

Same here I still haven't watched it yet because of moving into my new apartment and work, but I can to catch the 3d version ASAP before the theaters take out the 3d version

[Taygan315]

I WILL buy the 3D blu release (regardless how it performed at the box office and mixed word of mouth about the 3D) for:

1) EVA GREEN
2) JESSICA ALBA
3) 1.85:1 benefits a 3D presentation GREATLY in the immersion factor
4) Visuals in this movie SCREAMS for a 3D blu release

[Taygan315]

I think there is a GOOD chance of seeing this get a home release before the holidays now..considering how poorly it has done at the b-o. Great time for them to try and recoup some of the losses,imo. We shall see.

[Zivouhr]

The end of August is a tough time to get a good box office since a lot of people are going back to school or college and the parents who might have seen this are focused on that. It's a select genre/style of film, like film noir or something along those lines and will have limited appeal I'd guess to main stream audiences. I'm surprised Expendables 3 lost out in theaters, but will likely do better on home video. They went to PG13, so that probably had something to do with it. I enjoyed it, this was good also.

I didn't see any of the ads on TV, but agree, the marketing makes a difference who they're gearing it for. John Carter was marketing for action fans, but didn't show the story line which was the movie's first strength for the previews.

The faces did convey dimension, but the 3D didn't pop in layering like I was hoping the faces would. Good mild to medium 3D faces even so, and I have to see it again, though the close ups couldn't compare to the zoomed out 3D shots which stole the show in 3D.

Alba had a good sized role here and Booth Powers played a convincing evil Politician villain, but yes, Willis was very important in the first one along with Wood's fast moving villain with those glasses. Willis did appear here but only briefly as a cameo. I like how they connected the two movies together with the story. The story revolved around Eva Green being the Dame in the title. She was an effective manipulator.

hopefully a pre order for the 3D blu ray will be up soon, only 2D at the moment

There is a 3d version listed right here on this site. I saw the movie yesterday and the 3d is terrific and really accentuates the beautifully stylistic look of the movie. The story is ludicrous but that's intentional. The powerful visual imagery is what carries this film.

[Zivouhr]

Yeah, this is definitely one of the best examples of a live-action comic book. Only thing I wondered about is why they made the blood white instead of red since this was rated R to begin with? That would be my only real disappointment. The 3D was nicely done though, agree.

Yep seen this. But no retail sites like amazon or any kind has this listed and now the pre order release mentions nothing about a 3D release

Edit: This is a bit alarming no 3D pre orders for Germany, UK and now US. But all of them have 2D pre orders. I do not like this at all. Hopefully this is nothing to worry about since they will hopefully list the 3D release later. But its still very
