Bait 3D Blu-ray (2012) [Region Locked / Free] - Blu-ray Forum

keb33509 · 09-19-2012, 03:21 AM

The American 3D Blu-ray is locked to Region A but the UK 3D Blu-ray is in fact REGION FREE and not locked to Region B as the back cover suggests.

The film was released on 3D Blu-ray in other countries too - for a comparison see here.

Bait 3D Review

Just watched this. Holy Cow! The 3D was great! A lot better than I thought it would be, but it is pretty corny. However, this is one I believe the 3D makes up for! I am glad I blind bought this.
I would put this in my top 10 for 3D strength, if not top 5.

Nice. Glad to hear the 3D is good. About where would you place the 3D of BAIT on the following on the 3D chart?

strong 3D (Avatar, Hugo, Open Season, Journey CE I)
very good 3D (Avengers)
good 3D (Bolt)
decent 3D (Monster House, Piranha 3D)
weak 3D (Green Lantern, Star Wars Episode I, ParaNorman)

How does it compare to Piranha 3D if you've seen that one?

keb33509 · 09-19-2012, 03:51 AM

I really hate to say it, for fear of backlash, but I would put it almost on par with Journey 1. It is probably a partial notch under it. There was quite a bit of separation when I took my glasses off. There were several pop-out moments that almost go far enough to make you cross-eyed! I own almost all 3D blus, but this is definitely fun for a very corny movie. The only problem I noticed was the really bright shadows where the light hits things, much like final destination 4. Most newer movies have alleviated that problem. Other than that, no crosstalk on my 55LW5600.

So, if you don't mind silly wannabe horror movies, this makes a great popcorn flick. Its 3D is a lot stronger than Shark Night.

(Don't judge it solely based on what I say, it is a matter of opinion)

Cool little read on how they planned for 3D and such.

No love for Sammy and Journey 2? Both are great 3D also.

I plan on buying this based on the 3D presentation alone. This look to be my 2nd guilty pleasure blind buy (first was Piranha 3D).

Stryffe2004 · 09-19-2012, 06:14 PM

Good to hear. I had my eye on this one for a while. I had it confused with Shark Night. When I saw Shark Night, I kept waiting for them to get trapped in a supermarket. Ordered this from Amazon for under $20. Can't wait to watch it.

BigJayJay · 09-19-2012, 09:04 PM

Rented this today from family video. And all I have to say is "wow". It's a fun movie. It's not the best 3D, but good enough. The story line is not the best, but again, good enough. I really enjoyed this movie and the 3D definitely was fun. And the opening 5 minute scene had me hitting the rewind several times! Wow! Check it out!

sookymonster · 01-23-2013, 02:38 AM

I apologise if there is already a thread for this but I could not find one..

I picked this up today and will watch it later tonight, will report on it later.

explorer6 · 01-23-2013, 03:34 AM

Big role! Movie is pretty ordinary, but the 3D is good and it does have a few good scenes.

All i can say is, AMAZING 3D, ranks up there with AVATAR

and a really good flick, check it out!

Blu-Ray 3D President · 03-04-2013, 02:52 AM

Thanks for the feedback. I've only seen this on 2D and the movie's not bad.

levcore · 03-04-2013, 07:39 AM

The thread for this movie is just a little bit further down this page!

Impossible · 03-04-2013, 04:51 PM

I tried to watch it last night but the acting was so bad I only made it to the wave crashing and then couldn't take it anymore. I will try and get through it when I am in a bit more of a forgiving mood. The 3D seemed pretty strong though.

Quake1028 · 08-31-2016, 03:37 PM

I am perplexed. I have ordered this 2 times now from Best Buy, who only lists the 3D version, and I have been sent the 2D version, which according to this site doesn't even exist.

Anchor Bay re-released this as 2D+UV dropping the DVD and the 3D copy. Unfortunately they have the same UPC so finding a 3D copy might be tough.

Richard--W · 08-31-2016, 05:20 PM

I bought the 3-D blu-ray from MediaBlasters on ebay twice because it was the lowest price for a new copy. They kept sending me the standard edition. Emails are pointless with MediaBlasters, they only respond to system-generated options with more system-generated options. They are still selling the standard edition as a 3-D. Nevertheless ebay and amazon marketplace are the place to look. Email the seller and ask.
