Might well be true. I really want at least one 3D non-cartoon, non-documentary film in my collection and this is literally the only one available in any way shape or form. The studios just aren't giving us much choice here

I imagine even with the sub par 3D conversion I'll enjoy this. Once (if) we get more quality releases we'll probably re-evaluate this one and let it collect dust at the back of the movie shelf.

If this ever comes out on B3D in america I'll probably order it.

Exactly my feeling as well. This was terrible 3D.

"Terrible?" To each his own but I thought this was a long way from terrible.

This could've been a fantastic showcase film for 3-D, but instead it's an example of how NOT to do it.

Crap aye? I dunno, I had 8 in my theater. All 8 enjoyed the movie and the 3D aspect of it.

Hmm...low standards I guess. If you compare this to say...Grand Canyon Adventure..well, there's no comparison. I didn't expect much from this, but got my hopes up a little (foolishly) when I started hearing some good things. It's a fun movie that I'll probably enjoy as a 2D film in my collection, but anyone expecting to be wowed, should turn there expectations way down.

2 totally different sources / shooting techniques.

a Movie vs Docu/Nature/Imax , the movie will always loose.

my terms are terrible...someone please explain it to him. or not...lol

Thank goodness for low standards then. Myself as well as most others live happier that way.

Nothing to explain. One was shot in 3-D and one wasn't. One was a quick, sloppy conversion and one was built from the ground up to be in 3-D. I'm not talking content..I'm only talking about the 3-D. Clash was a quick conversion and it shows. A flat, funky looking film in 3-D. 2D looks pretty darn cool though. That's all I'm saying.

You could be right.

I haven't watched the entire movie yet so I can't comment on the plot. However, from what I have watched so far the 3D effects are fine. There is good 3D depth into the screen. I haven't seen many 3D effects coming out of the screen towards the viewer yet. However, this effect is less realistic to me and more on the gimmicky side anyway.

Perhaps this is what some folks are disappointed by, I don't know. When I view the movie using software on my PC I need to use mode 1 to get the 3D. Otherwise the 3D is poor. When I view the movie using my Panny 350, it requires mode 2. Perhaps some folks are viewing the movie using the wrong mode which would yield poor results.

i was surprised at how good it looked after reading so much bad press about how awful the 3D was...i am VERY sensitive to fake 3D, but this one impressed. I am sure it would have been better had it been filmed in 3D, but for a conversion, I thought it looked pretty good.

Same for Alice in Wonderland....although i saw neither in a theater--saw both on my archaic Samsung DLP from 2007.

Where did you get your copy of Alice in Wonderland?

I converted it... I was actually going to screen it this weekend. 2DE to 3D converted and all.

With Nvidia 3D vision and the3D capable media players I get to crank depth perception massivle if I want to. So much so, that somebody 10' away down a hall looks like they are 100' away.

I thought Titans 3D was just OK.

Some of the scenes had good depth but most of it was no better than 2D in my opinion.

Definately not worth the $50+ import price.

Grand Canyon Adventure is still the one to beat.
post #77 of 110
There are too many flat shots in "Grand Canyon Adventure" though.
post #78 of 110
Watched a clip of this ripped from the blu ray at biohemmet. Just as I expected. I saw this at the theater in 3D and the 3D effect is just as bad at home. I was giving it the benefit of the doubt because people on here had nice things to say about it, but this one won't be seeing its way into my collection for fear it may ruin the other 3D BD's by it's close proximity. Thanks go out to biohemmet for saving me the money. The movie was ok but as for the 3D effect, save your money. I am curious though about these 2D to 3D converted movies if they look any better run through a secondary conversion process like in the samsung tv's? Has anyone tried to play this movie in 2D and let the TV do the 3d conversion...don't expect better result's mostly a curious thing if there is any difference can't imagine it could make it look worse

But at least the 3D scenes were in true 3D....not some hoky conversion as in Titans.

I'm guessing you mean the helicopter footage looking down on the canyons. I agree those are flat and not very good shots for 3-D. They were a bit too liberal with that footage in the film too. But any shot that was well set looked terrific in 3-D.

I don't know what people were expecting from the 3D BD of COTTs.

It looked like crap in the theaters - no surprise it looks like crap on 3DTVs.

Hehe, I know. I should've known better, but I got caught up in the positive feedback here. Serves me right, no doubt.

I watched it, and I thought it was pretty good. Definitely made the movie better for me. I had previously viewed the 2D version, and thought it was okay. Of course being a fan of the original didn't help. This time, maybe I was paying more attention because of the 3D.

There was little to no pop-out (even on the one scene where it would have worked well), but the depth was better than I expected. One person claimed the characters looked like stacks of cutouts or something, but I didn't notice anything like that. No ghosting whatsoever, and considering the timeframe this was converted in, it was much better than 2D.

I'm looking forward to 3D conversions of all my old favorites. How else are they going to get me to buy them all over again? Even with the bashing, this one has given me hope that not all conversions are bad. Worth $50 from across the pond? Probably not. But maybe?

Two camps on the 3D in COTT. Some like it and some don't. If you liked it then you don't feel your money was wasted. To bad it isn't available to rent so those on the fence could preview it before deciding whether to purchase or not. I took a chance as I liked the movie and knew the BD version would be brighter and sharper than what I saw in a theater. I'm ok with it.
post #85 of 110
i have a feeling i won't like the 3d effect, as I thought cloudy was pretty weak on the 3d effect. This sounds like it'll be worse
post #86 of 110
I've been on the fence on this one. I did not like it in the Movies because I paid $18 per person to see it. I found it a campy production. When it came out on Blue Ray I rented it and liked it much more that in the theater. Given my starvation for a non-animated 3D movie or documentary, I just took the plunge and ordered from Germany. They are going on the Bay for $100 and demand will go up once the PS3 3D firmware update releases, I figure that at the very worst I will get my money back if I don't like it.

After all, how many times can you watch the panny demo disk, MVA, and CWACOM?

On the comment about modes on the Panny 350, I'm not sure what you mean. I have been setting the 350 to full 3D, run it to my Denon 3311, then to the Mits adapter which goes to my Mits 73735. Everything works fine. Am I supposed to do something different with COTT?

It's funny that it can be ordered for half of what it's going for on eBay and yet folks are willing (I guess) to pay double.

If I had a 3D T.V. with 2D to 3D conversion I'd just rent the 2D BD version and convert it to 3D to see how it looked. That would be a lot cheaper and maybe just as good!

Not even close

But if you had the 3D version, you could check out both and compare.
