Best 3d Bluray Movie so far????3d effects - Page 6

Ha! I did hear airbender is straight trash. But yea ok so you had some issues blurred images too. Makes me feel a bit better, although I wasn't real impressed wit monster house either...

Best ive seen so far
Grand canyon
Saw
Re afterlife
Christmas carol was mixed. Some scenes amazing some dark scenes just ok

Bout to get avatar and despicable me

Stay away from pirhana 3d

I only have one at the moment, legend of the guardians.

Amazing flight scenes, great family flick. Will definetly watch it again and again.

Open Season was still the best "in your face" 3d I have seen.
How to Train you Dragon is by far the best movie in 3D (one of my favorite ever in any dimension)
Dispicable Me roller coaster scene is amazing, and that is a really good movie too.
My Bloody Valentine had a few moments.
Step Up 3D had a few good moments. Good workout for the subwoofer too.

I was a bit disappointed in Saw as far as the 3D. Some scenes just didn't seem like there was much dimension compared to other spectacular 3D efforts like A Christmas Carol. And the 2 scenes where the blood squirts out of the screen, I think it happened too fast to get an accurate view of it. They could have done that in slow motion in my opinion. I have found that things that pop out of the screen slowly usually have a much better effect than something that is a second or two long, perhaps because it allows us to focus on the depth as it comes closer.

I am surprised not many people mention The Polar Express when it comes to good 3D. That one has my favorite "in your face" moment when the train comes to a stop and the camera is in front of it, the end of the train seems inches away from you.

I will have to watch Open Season, lots of you say great 3D. I have not gotten to Ice Age 3, Open Season, Monster House, Resident Evil, Step Up yet. I am trying to watch one a week so I don't run out of new 3D material. I really enjoyed Piranha 3D, which I saw in theaters, it's a movie that is not to be taken seriously and is alot of fun and a MUCH better conversion that Clash of the Titans or Last Airbender.

With Disney announcing a year of over 15 titles in 3D, it really stinks that none of the other studios have much on their schedule at all. And what really stinks is the proponent of 3D, Jeffery Katzenberg, has not even released the titles that are discontinued with the Samsung TV's and starter kits (Monsters vs Aliens and How to Train your Dragon). Of course I have not at all been pleased with their Blu-ray output. No releases of Prince of Egypt, Shark Tale or many of the Dreamworks animation catalog.

The box set shows a release date of February 14, did you get the Austrailian version?

I've been playing some ps3 demos and watching some free time warner content, nothing I've seen so far has that "pop out" effect I've been reading about. Anyone know is ps3 games will be able to use this "pop out" effect?

Know what, I'm beginning to really fall in love with REA for the win over Avatar. Avatar is nice on depth but REA blended perfection by concocting equal balance of depth and pops. The axe thing is phenomenal. You'd think it's just gonna stop in the middle but it just keeps on coming at you. My goodness.

Super Stardust HD in the PS store

The scenes I always like to show off in RE are when Wesker throws his sunglasses, those things are literally out of the TV lol. That and the same scene you're talking about, but not for the ax part as much as for the water effects. Thats where I think 3D really looks awesome, in an movie. Whenever there's water falling around a scene, the depth is clearly evident.

Another vote for REA here. I have that, Saw, and MBV. I really like them all. Saw is a reluctant 3rd because I really like the series, have them all but the effects are not up to the other two on my setup. Still very good 3d though.

I had no clue about the plots on REA and MBV but MBV is easiest to pick up on, it is a horror flick. REA is really growing on me for sheer 3d work. The more I watch it the more I appreciate it.

Now MBV has some real good work too. I love the scenes in the woods that makes me feel like I could step right into the picture. Excellent depth and a pick ax really makes a great 3d object. Let's not forget the nude chick scene either which is a must for any good horror movie worth its' salt. I believe there is a N. Cage movie coming out in 3d from the same producer or director. Looks like a must have for me from the trailer. I hope to be able to view it on vudu when the time comes, I do not go to the theater, I have one.

So at this point I would say REA is my favorite because it just rocks. I crank the DTS HD MA on the surround and rock the house. It has good sound and visuals. Still learning the plot but seemingly that did not bother me much due to the immersive experience in 3d and excellent sound track.

I am not big on cartoons but will be checking a few out when vudu gets their 3d act together. Not something I want to buy. Once and done.

That is my 0.02 cents.

I recently saw "Open Season 3D" for the first time and would like to echo the praise it has received here. I have Cloudy and Monster House 3D, but Open Season really looks so much better. I'm still trying to figure out why, since it was the earliest of the movies (it would seem the latter Sony 3D movies should look best since they are perfecting the 3D process as they go?).

It's still hard to explain why it looks better. You could say all three movies feature city shots, and shots of trees and grass, etc...and yet the shots in Open Season have the most enjoyable sense of depth to my eyes.

One theory is the lighting and color contrast is probably the most "pumped up" or exaggerated in Open Season (the whole art style is more like a toy or candy world if that makes any sense), and this striking contrast in lighting and color makes it look best in 3D. Maybe more realistic-looking movies might be on the bland and flat side and lead to uninteresting 3D effects. Heat and The Wrestler, for example, are filmed like documentaries and intentionally have "rough" natural lighting, and probably wouldn't look too good in 3D.

And yet, just having said that, the live action Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D looked great to me, despite having a more subdued, ashen color palette outdoors and dark interiors. It would be interesting to hear what a cinematographer who has worked in 3D has to say about this. It might be the combination of excellent shot choices and lighting intensity/highlights that give the best 3D effect.

All I can say is Open Season looks terrific and the movie is rather enjoyable. I was surprised I laughed at so many of the jokes spoken by the Ashton Kutcher deer (now that's a sentence I never thought I would type!). Probably on the level of enjoyment of a movie like Ice Age 1-2 and better than Chicken Little. It's obviously not a movie like "How To Train Your Dragon" or anything, but nice fun.

I agree. RE has some AWESOME moments of 3D.

After skimming through Avatar last night, it is clearly the big winner. Incredible depth with very little crosstalk. Amazing!

I guess I'm the only one still posting on this thread. Throw in the rollercoaster scene in Despicable Me as pure demo. Outstanding!

I'll start posting once I get a 3D PJ, since I have a bunch of content collected and source devices (3D BD player + cable).

Until them I'm just an interested observer.

New to all this, but will post so Rach knows we are paying attention

Only movie I've watched so far is Alice in Wonderland ... really enjoyed it, and quite a bit of very nice 3D effect after you get through the first 20 minutes or so.

Have quite a few more arriving tomorrow from Amazon, so will be getting my 3D fix.

Just got Avatar so haven't had a chance to watch it.

I have REA, piranha 3d and Cloudy with A chance of Meatballs.

I bought the Samsung PN50C480 3D for cheap but it just didn't look that good to me so I sold that. I now have the TC-p50GT25 coming on Sat.

I watched Piranha 3D and it wasn't very good 3D

Hopefully I will get to watch a few this weekend!

I haven't seen Avatar yet, but I thought Monsters vs Aliens had some of the best 3D I've seen and I watched it on HBO on demand...wasn't even a 3D blu ray so it probably gets even better.

I want MVA but waiting for the price to come down a little...

Where r u guys finding good prices on 3D Blu-rays?

Nowhere lol.. Prices are so dang high still.. Probably ebay for some good deals.

I was able to snatch up REA from a store going out of business at my local mall for $19.99. Haven't seen a better price then that. I haven't opened it. Where did you guys think of the 3D in it?

I watched yesterday Resident Evil and it looked fantastic on my JVC X3!
Apart from that, my showcase 3D movies are "Legends of the Guardians", "Avatar", "How to train your dragon" and "Monsters vs Aliens".

Alright, you guys listing all of these 3D movies that are exclusives are making me want to go to Ebay to bid...

Why do people on eBay bid of things with more then 1 day left?? Put it on your watch list. Sealed copy of MVA started at .99 and now is 30 already with 4 days left. Samsung starter kit was started at .99 with Dragons and now it 49 bucks with 5 days left. Quit bidding on these movies til the last day and maybe you'll get a deal

Most people I know, put in their highest bid on ebay and let the chips fall where they may with it. This strategy has no benefit to waiting as the auto bidder thingy increases your bid automatically up to your set limit.

I've watched every 3D thing I can get my hands on, just because it was 3D. However, I never get past the fact that it has to be a good movie to be a good 3D movie. I highly recommend Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Despicable Me, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and all of the Imax 3D documentaries.

I've spent more time underwater in 3D in recent months than I have in my yard.

Alot of the time the seller has another ebay buyer name and will bid on the auction to raise the limit in avoidance of them getting shorthanded. Buy It Now option is your best friend. I don't even bother with the auctions anymore. They are too time consuming with very little payoff.

I own and have watched:
1.) Monsters vs. Aliens [Blu-ray 3D]
2.) IMAX: Triple Feature (Galapagos, Into the Deep, Mummies-Secrets of the Pharaohs) [Blu-ray 3D]
3.) Shrek: The Whole Story Boxed Set (Shrek/Shrek 2/Shrek the Third/Shrek Forever After) [Blu-ray 3D]
4.) Monster House [Blu-ray 3D]
5.) Resident Evil: Afterlife [Blu-ray 3D]
6.) Step Up 3 (Three-Disc Combo Pack: Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy)

I have watched:
7.) Despicable Me (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy)
8.) Open Season [Blu-ray 3D]

I pre-ordered:
9.) Tangled (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy)
10.) Tron: Legacy Limited Edition (Five-Disc Combo Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy + Tron: The Original Classic Special Edition Blu-ray)

The best 3D effects without cross-talk:
a.) Resident Evil: Afterlife (glasses being thrown, hammer coming out, etc.)
b.) IMAX: Triple Feature (Galapagos, Into the Deep, Mummies-Secrets of the Pharaohs)
c.) Open Season (I think because it was bright and a cartoon)
d.) Despicable Me (again, very bright scenes)

Best storyline:
a.) Despicable Me
b.) IMAX: Triple Feature (Galapagos, Into the Deep, Mummies-Secrets of the Pharaohs)
(that's pretty much it)

What I want is:
Avatar [Blu-ray 3D]
