3D Blu-ray Disc QUESTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS and GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread

[DoN_KinG]

What is the best 3D movie to get other than Tron cause I have that one but I want to know the best 3D titles out right now! Is the Green Hornet Worth Buying or not¿

[Sanctum3D]

I recommend Sanctum, the 3D is really immersive and the film is not bad at all.

The other great one is in an exclusive bundle: How To Train Your Dragon (IMO the best 3D release I have seen for an animated film)

[bhampton]

I would have to say all of them.

For now though I prefer my 3D movies actually be movies and I've ignored the Sports Illustrated disc and various IMAX edutainment titles.

I love the one's I have but if I had to pick just one ... only one,... it would certainly be Tangled. That must be the best for now.

(HTTYD may be the bee's knees ... I don't know ... I can't afford it for now.)

So far, my favorites as far as quality of 3d are Coraline, Avatar, IMAX Ulitimate Wave: Tahiti, and IMAX: Legends of Flight. And maybe Drive Angry (for the 3d, not the movie itself).

You can get the imax movies for cheap! Like $13!

It depends on what kind of movies you like. I would have to say my favorites are Avatar, Resident Evil and Tron. But there are many that run a close second- HTTYD, Ice Age, Despicable Me, Alice, etc. Green Hornet was so poorly reviewed by most that I didn't bother getting it.

Imax movies for sure. I have not watched Green Hornet yet in 3d. I own it but never watched the 3d copy. When I watch it I will tell you what I thought.

[EricJ]

At the moment, only own Tangled, but it's good enough--

But based on what I see from the free PS3 "3DNet" satellite-channel trailer, which features a few clips from the IMAX titles, I'm waiting for "Under the Sea" to come down in price...
(For those who've seen the promo, which IMAX underwater documentary is which? I know the shot of baby seals poking their heads out of the screen is from "Under", but what about the others?)

[Sanctum3D]

I have The Green Hornet and the 3D is awesome, but the film is not the best. It is a mixture of humor and action. Still, I have seen it a few times (mostly for the 3D) and will recommend it only if you enjoy 3D regardless of how good some films story actually is.

[AmrlKJaneway]

The four I own are great. In order of 3D quality I guess I'd go:
1. Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs
2. Tron: Legacy
3. Legend of the Guardians
4. Resident Evil: Afterlife
And that's not to say that RE:A is no good. It's great!

[DoN_KinG]

Thanks for letting me know whats good to get yall!

I order Green Hornet and Sanctum!!!

I agree with getting the Imax flix. They're cheap right now and you get quite a bang for your buck. Check some of them out, especially the ones that are mentioned by blu tiger.

I Would Recommend Tangled. For me it my go to demo disc for 3D

[Stryffe2004]

For me, the definite disc for showing of 3D is Step Up 3D. No lie. It is a family friendly movie and there are so many seens to choose from, that it make a defintite impact. Like Drive Angry 3D, the 3D make an otherwise 'meh' movie, a grand experience.

Here is how I rate what I have;

Good Movie, Good 3D:
Legend of the Guardians
Despicable Me
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Tangled
Pirahna 3D

Decent movie made good by 3D:
Drive Angry
My Bloody Valentine
Resident Evil: Afterlife
Dinosaurs Alive!
A Christmas Carol
Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore

Decent Movie, so-so 3D:
Green Hornet
Last Airbender
Gnomeo & Juliet
Yogi Bear

Have but have not watched:
Tron Legacy (saw in theater, have not watched on blu-ray)
Sanctum
Monster House

[DoN_KinG]

I totally forgot about Pirahna 3D!!! So ur saying that's one of the better 3D movies?

[cydetrakd]

I would have to say out of the non exclusives that i own i was most impressed by Resident Evil, Despicable Me, Saw 3D (7) which I was glad each one wasn't an exclusive title. The next ones i plan on getting which I've seen at home on my Panny are Sanctum 3d and Drive Angry since both movies were live action and had great 3d.

No. I saw it in the theater. The movie itself is fun and entertaining in a comic horror type of way if you like that kind of thing. It has some great blood and gore. And the main attack scene is so bizarre it just has to be seen. But, as far as 3D goes, it's just horrible. This is like the stand out title for how terrible conversions can be. There are times where there is ok depth, but it just looks really bad. It has that terrible overly obvious cardboard cut out generic conversion look to it. And I swear, there were a couple times in that movie where it felt like my eyeballs were being fried in their sockets. It would have been great had it been real 3D though, it's a shame. I've not seen the Blu-ray version, but I doubt it's much better, if at all.

But to answer the topic. Out of the ones I have that are available for general retail. And if I had to start my collection over. I'd be for sure starting with Despicable Me first. Then probably Coraline And Alice In Wonderland. Open season... Pretty much all the animated stuff is really cool. There are a Couple general retail titles I don't have yet, so can't comment on them all. I really need to pick up Legends Of The Guardians soon. The Blu-ray version has to look fantastic.

Legends Of Flight IMAX has incredible depth and nonstop pop outs. Its my new demo disc. I just watched Piranha last night and there is no comparison (though I enjoyed the film).

[cardiackid]

I really want to grab How to Train your dragon but its not available anymore is it? Even as a bundle?
