Weakest 3D films - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Would have to say seventh son. Saw it on HBO on demand and turned it off after 40 minutes. Even 3D could not save that one.

Haven't purchased a real weak one yet, probably because I've avoided the ones called so.

Sorry to nitpick but Seventh Son is not from this year! I thought the 3D in that was really impressive though!

Yeah the movie itself was a major disappointment to me but the 3D was actually quite good. What I did not like though was that "soft" look both the theatrical 3D and 3D Blu-ray version have.

Yeah that's definitely a stylistic choice. 300 Rise of an Empire does it too.

Hi Levcore,

Then my bad. It suddenly came on HBO Demand so assumed it was a release from this year.

Also misunderstood the original question. Thought it was about the movie overall, taking in both plot and 3D. Depth wasn't bad, even watching it through TV. But the story...

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

LOL

So many weak response to Star Trek Beyond. I guess I will stick with regular 1080p Blu-ray then.

levcore · 11-14-2016, 12:51 PM

I thought the 3D in Beyond was very flat at the cinema however i'll still be buying the 3D blu ray. Got to support 3D blu ray every time, even with this disappointing presentation.

I could literally never bring myself to buy a 2D blu ray of a movie I know is available on 3D blu ray.

I'd agree with that, except for crappy autoconversions.

But I'd go a step further - I can't bring myself to buy a 2D blu ray of a movie I know was released theatrically in 3D, even if there is no 3D blu ray... The Scorch Trials, Ip Man 3, Pete's Dragon etc etc

Yes apart from auto conversions, I tend not to count those as proper 3D blu rays though lol.

Same here.

Make that three. In fact, some that were never 3D to begin with I try to simulate. If good, continue watching in that mode.

yeah, I just recently bought The Last Airbender 3d on bluray.

Hey, I have to know how it turns out. I fell asleep during the first few minutes of it at the movie theatre and didn't wake up until they were showing the end credits.

UFAlien · 01-15-2017, 04:48 PM

The Last Airbender is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, but be aware that the majority of the movie is NOT in 3D - most of the time it's a flat image just pushed back into the screen.

yes. I immediately noticed that at the movie theatre.

It was a ripoff as far as I'm concerned. 3D-wise, that is.

xbs2034 · 11-14-2016, 01:26 PM

The weakest were Ratchet & Clank and that limited release conversion of Creed they released in Feburary, but given how under the radar the 3D releases on those films were, wasn't expecting much from them.

The biggest disappointment given it was a high budget/profile film and I really liked the 3D on the previous film was Star Trek Beyond (also, while I thought the 3D was better than Beyond's, was disappointed in Jungle Book given reviews and press article frequently mentioned the 3D which often isn't the case even with stronger 3D titles, and thus probably won't bother double dipping with the 3D blu now coming out despite really liking the movie itself)

dartfrog298 · 11-14-2016, 02:28 PM

Resurgence? I thought the 3D was great! I also enjoyed the 3D in Huntsman: Winters War. I must have a super 3D TV or my eyes were made for enhancing 3D. lol.
I have the new Star Trek but have not watched it yet but will comment on this thread when I do so.

Hi dartfrog,

Yeah, I liked the 3D in Resurgence also and actually thought the movie was quite good - didn't deserve the bad reviews it got. Not up to par with the first one but nicely done and certainly can stand up on it's own as a good sequal.

Have Winter's War but have not got around to watching it yet. Saw ST Beyond twice - was disappointed in the 3D the first time and was wondering what was wrong so re-adjusted my settings a bit and then it went from impulse power to warp speed!

HDM_fan · 11-14-2016, 04:56 PM

Again it's a 3D movie theatrically vs. 3D experience at home difference. And there are several movies being better w/latter.

Agreed. That applies to most films nowadays. I know several members here don't even bother with theatrical 3-D anymore.

CharlesD · 11-16-2016, 02:34 PM

The Finest Hours is by far the worst. Incredibly flat and dull presentation, with one half second shot of mild. Then again, it may be different on disc, I only saw it in 3D in theaters.
