Great movie if you are a fan of the original. Nice special effects. 3D, not so great.

TRON: Legacy

From The Digital Bits:

Quote:


[Editor's UPDATE: Multiple retail sources are suggesting to us today that the street date will be 4/5 in the U.S., but that's still officially TBA. All configurations can now be preordered at Amazon.com by clicking on the cover art. Note that we've also added the DVD versions of both films

I will add it to the schedule and if the date changes - I will correct it.

Ok, so I was curious on which types of 3D blurays look the best on the Sony 55HX800? Do analygraphs(sp?) work on this set and if so what kinds should I look for?

LOL - Anaglyph 3D optical discs (DVD and BD) work on any TV (SDTV and HDTV). No special 3DTV needed. Of course your image is going to look like this:



Is that what you want?

Lol no. I'm just new to all this and not up to par on all the terminology. I've seen terms like sbs, half sbs, and things like that.. Just wondering how you would know which it is when buying the BD.

See the OP. All those titles are full color 3D. You can go by the release date. AFAIK, they don't release any anaglyph 3D BDs any more. There are only a handful to begin with. And look for the 3D BD logo (except on Disney titles):

Paramount Explains Why No 3D Blu-ray for Jackass 3

Quote:


As previously reported, Jackass 3 will come out on March 8 without a 3D Blu-ray version, only an antiquated anaglyph 3D version (with two-colored glasses), and in standard definition, on the accompanying DVD. The Digital Bits contacted Paramount Home Entertainment to ask why. The official response received was the decision was made "in an effort to bring the 3D home viewing experience of Jackass 3 to as wide an audience as possible."

The studio added: "This ensures that all consumers with a DVD player will have the opportunity to experience the film in classic 3D at home."

To date, Paramount has only released one 3D Blu-ray title: the Best Buy exclusive 3D BD of The Last Airbender.

They are still releasing a few anaglyph blu-rays. SCAR is coming at the end of March, and several others (such as PIRANHA and STREET DANCE) have been released outside the US recently.

Here's the link to Facebook Paramount page. I suggested all people with 3D tv's make a post about Jackass, there's no reason they shouldn't be releasing this in Blu-ray 3D (unless it's another Best Buy Exclusive like Last Airbender).

That's probably why they aren't releasing it - no one wants to pay them to do so.

UPDATE:

Sources at Paramount are still claiming that Jackass 3 will NOT be available as a general Blu-ray 3D release (although retail sources still suggest that a Best Buy BD3D exclusive is a possibility).

2 titles in 4 months.
(Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.)
3 titles in 5 months.
(Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct.)
3 titles in Jan.
0 titles in Feb.
6 titles in 7 out of the 9 months the format been available.
2 titles every 3 wks?!?! Really.

Wake me up when the software shows up.

Worst home video format launch EVER!
(makes HD DVD's "Failure to Launch", p.i., seem awesome in comparison)
[I'm not dismissing the format/the format will succeed/as there will be 3D hardware in the future]

So based off Paramount's decision on not to release a true 3D BD of Jackass, one can safely assume they don't have any intentions of releasing some of their other catalog titles as well? I'm mainly hoping for a "Friday the 13th part 3D" release, but I guess that won't be happening... oh well

Maybe Best Buy will pay them for an exclusive(s). They don't seem to want to just have a general release as of yet.

Wasn't this one criticized for mediocre 3D at the cinema? Was it a conversion?

Yes it does, Paramount like Dreamworks Animation is not supporting consumer 3D BD.

Thanks!

Maybe with lower priced 3D sets, especially in the plasma realm, this will be a better year.

Hope springs eternal!

I have my doubts though. I was very dismayed to see that of the 6 major Hollywood studios, only one (Disney) have a preview of their upcomming 3D BDs at CES. That is the place to announce them.

There are a few IMAX 3D titles out there, and their market prices and MSRPs seem to be in two zones: e.g. Space Station and Deep Sea at $36-ish retail, and Grand Canyon and Ultimate Wave Tahiti around $17-$20.

Any particular reason for the pricing structure? I saw that the producer of Grand Canyon also produced Tahiti, but not the others (he posted in the Grand Canyon thread a long while back), so it is based on royalties or organization distributing? The cheaper ones seem to be from Image Entertainment, whereas the more expensive titles are from IMAX or Warner (a brief survey via Amazon). I don't perceive that the more expensive ones have longer play times or have additional discs.

I'd love to own a copy of Space Station having seen it at the KSC IMAX theater, just having a hard time swallowing $35 or so for 45 min.

Opinions? Insider knowledge? Anyone? Bueller?

1. 3D BD is an early adopter format. That means high prices.

2. It costs more to produce a 3D BD.

I understand those points, but why the price disparity between what otherwise would be considered the same level 3DBDs? They are all IMAX titles.

Why is it cheaper to produce, for example, Tahiti 3D vs Space Station 3D? Those astronauts shouldn't have much of a signing fee...

Or to keep comparisons in the same environment, IMAX Deep Sea vs IMAX Wild Ocean?

Just curious,

That IMO, would be based on popularity. If they felt a title will sell more, they charge more. They do have box office records to compare against. Remember you are talking about small quantities of sales here.

IMAX 3D titles in general will be high priced due to the extra step that is required - they have to go from 15/70mm (L & R views) to 35mm (L & R views). AFAIK, they can't transfer from 15/70mm directly.

And IMAX isn't a studio. They don't make their own content. Not like WB or Fox for instance.
