Maze Runner (2014) [2D Only] (2D Blu-ray contains "Ruin" Short in 3D)

[levcore]

Like the title says. The Maze Runner was released on blu ray in the UK today and much to my surprise there is a short 3D animated movie on it called Ruin from Wes Ball, the director of The Maze Runner. The short film is a futuristic post apocalyptic sci fi and it's a really spectacular action sequence with a guy on a futuristic bike being chased through a ruined city. It was a bit like the bikes in Akira but done with realistic looking computer animation and it was all in bright sunlight. The 3D is really strong and the camera movements are great, with loads of really fast moving 3D shots with terrific depth. In watching The Maze Runner it seemed like such a missed opportunity for 3D and after seeing what the same director did with 3D in Ruin it's even more disappointing that the main feature isn't 3D. Anyway I wanted to mention this in case there are any 3D fans who were thinking of picking up The Maze Runner but weren't aware of the 3D short. It's about 8 and a half minutes long and whilst that isn't much, trust me when I say it's spectacular.
