I pre-ordered.

So far I've only seen the 2D version of Migration. Nice movie but missing the 3D edge. Now I'm very curious how good the 3D will be. Entire package preordered.

I ignored the 2D version but did note that everyone only really had positive comments about the 3D version so am very much looking forward to this one.

I've been able to watch this movie in 3D for some time. but the look put me off. Then when I scanned through it the rest put me off. I like a lot of "so called" kids content from Pixar, Dreamworks and Illumination. But this one just doesn't grab me at all.

I saw the 3D on Vudu it's really good.

The movie is OK but in 2D I wouldn't anything more than rental. It's the 3D that shines.

This and Mission: Impossible Fallout arrived today. Some pictures:

The FSK-Sticker seen on the first picture, is only on the foil.

I have a big order to place with Turbine next payday!

Mine shipped but it's still in Germany. Anyway I'm still planning to watch it on my vacation and will let you know what I think, as with Mission Impossible, on 11/14.

As promised, I am ready to tell you what I think. I watched this last night with soda.

I previously watched this on Vudu. The picture and 3D look the same that they do on Vudu. Here is what I wrote previously about the movie and the 3D, which still apply now:

The plot is a family of ducks decide to migrate for the first time and they encounter all manners of high jinks along the way, especially when they come to a human city for the first time. It's funny and cute at times, but as a 2D it would probably be a one and done.

Where this really shines is the 3D! I was NOT expecting a strong 3D feature. I was thinking this was going to be mid to week since it hasn't gotten much discussion, I guess just because there's no blu-ray. But oh man if you haven't seen this on Vudu you are missing out. This is medium strong and sometimes strong the whole way through. There are a LOT of popouts. Like at least every 5-10 minutes there's a great popout. The 3D is used very well and to god effect, heightening the tension and fear. Opportunities for great use oof 3D (e.g. an object being thrown across the room, looking over the edge of a building) are not missed!

Unfortunately there is no included blu-ray or 2D version as Random Space discs have. It's a single disc with the 3D movie. Also you need to manually switch to English dialog and to turn off German subs (both are defaulted on for some reason). However, it does have 1 special, which is a Despicable Me short, which has comparable 3D to Migration. That surprised after the MI 5 disc had no specials at all. Anyway, I highly recommend getting this because the 3D is so good. So if you missed out because you can't access Vudu, now is your chance for this 3D treat!

It absolutely does not, lol. The blu-ray is so much better. Vudu is half-resolution and it’s painfully obvious on a 120” screen. Nearly unwatchable, but better than nothing at all. Happy to have it on disc and it blows the Vudu stream out of the water.

I'll rephrase. In my opinion, the picture and 3D look the same as I remember them looking on Vudu.

There, now it's a fact and inarguable.

That's good to know it works! The Random Space discs had an option to play the 2D movie on the 3D disc (and also play the 2D movie on the included regular blu-ray). I should check that this thing plays on the PS5, I guess it probably does.

This one looked great in 3D. The family had a good time seeing this one. Glad I held off watching my 4k copy.

I believe that he was referring about the 2D disc that brings extra content. For collectors who like to have all in one package and this collectible edition not including those is underwhelming. Comparable with the RSM packs is a step backward even though Turbine is bringing new 3D movies to the market.

I do agree with your point because as a collector I do like to have everything in one package and in fact I rarely ever buy a 4K edition unless it also comes with a Blu-ray.

But at the same time it is very clear to me that this collection is set up to focus purely on 3D content. Yes you could include extras and produce slipcovers and certainly collectors like those but EVERYONE buying these discs is buying them ONLY for the 3D movies they contain so I admire Turbine for not wasting any time or money on anything else. As has been mentioned, this ensures that the studios still get direct sales for the flat versions with extras.

If I was really jonesing for the Minions mini-movies or other Migration special features I would just buy a 2D version and Frankenstein it together with the 3D one. The price is only going to keep coming down.

Has anyone had a chance to watch this yet? Just want to make sure there aren’t any technical issues (like the Random Space Media Sing 2 release) before ordering.

I checked the disc out and it seemed fine but really you should order with confidence. Turbine are a class act and will replace discs if there's a problem with them.
