Best 3d Bluray Movie so far????3d effects - Page 15

Then I definitely have to watch it from beginning to the end.

I agree with you thebard regarding the reference PQ of the blu-ray. I've watched it in 2 times in 2D and both times I was blown away of the quality of the picture.

Just another vote for IMAX Under the Sea and the potato cod. It wast the first 3D movie I bought almost a year ago, and I have been using it to show off the 3D to any visitors that come over.

I just watched Resident Evil 3D and that is my 2nd favorite 3d movie. Although the movie is somewhat lame, the 3d is amazing. I like depth, and this one has it, but it also has lots of fun pop 3d. Btw, I have close to 20 3d movies in my collection, and have watched them all along with most of the programming on Directv.

Another vote for Under the Sea - it is awesome. Also, alexuts2oo4 I live in Australia (region B) and bought my copy from Amazon USA and it works in my blu ray player. To the best of my knowledge all IMAX movies are region free. I buy most of my movies from the USA or UK as they tend to be cheaper then in Australia . A couple websites I use to check if movies are region free are "HDmoviesource.com" and "regionfreemovies.com".

10x ajleske for your advice. I have just place an order on amazon uk for Under the Sea (although it was describe as Region A). I just hope you're right and it will work, if not I'll send it back or sell it on ebay

I've also ordered Despicable Me, Resident Evil Afterlife and Gnomeo and Juliet. I can't wait to see them, especially Gnomeo because I haven't seen it so far (I just hope I won't be disappointed).

Has any of you seen Animals United? How is the 3D? Is it worth buying?

LE: I have just watched Open Season 3D and I must say I find it waaay better than Sammy's Adventure. In my eyes, it has a greater depth entire the whole movie. It's like the action is in my living room and the picture seems so natural, the distances between things and their dimensions and so on. More than that, the overall picture quallity is just sublime: wonderful colors and fantastic detail (which I cannot say about Sammy). The single advantage of Sammy's Adventure are the pop-out scenes, but with a so well-implemented 3D technique, watching Open Season, I can say that I did not feel the need for any pop-out effects, I was just amazed by almost every scene.

I am about to take the 3D leap and want to buy the best non-animated (preferably action themed) Blu-ray to start off with.

Any ideas?

I have a 52HX909. Haven't seen Tangled but the pop-out and everything about Resident Evil (aside from the plot ) is absolutely amazing. The whole scene where they fight the giant axe/scythe wielding zombie blows my mind, and when she finally kills him the Zombie's brains literally appear to land on the lenses of my 3D glasses.

Resident Evil: Afterlife. Don't expect an Oscar Winner, expect only pure and utter Audio/Visual deliciousness. Not to be viewed without surround sound IMO, the entire presentation with 5.1+ is just something you HAVE TO experience if you like 3D and action. Read the review on highdefdigest. It's exactly what he says it is, maybe better if that's possible. Hope that helps.

Saw a commercial for Transformers yesterday, apparently to be released on Blu-Ray soon. The particular commercial I saw mentioned nothing of 3DBR. Are we getting shafted?

Oh, and THANK YOU Disney for releasing The Lion King 3DBR Oct. 4!! This is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid, and to this day. So glad I can own the 3DBR for the same price as 2 tickets to the 2-week only showing in theaters!

Yes it does. I may need to watch the previous Resident Evils first. I have a great surround sound system so it should work.

I actually haven't seen any of em lol. If you read reviews of the movie you'll see phrases like "no plot whatsoever" and the likes, so feel free to jump right on in! Definitely buy the 3DBR, I rented the DL on PS3/PSN and the quality was god-awful in comparison. You'll watch it more than once anyway, and it's tops on the list to show off your setup to guests unless you're lucky enough to own Avatar on 3DBR

Note to self..."get off your ass and mail in that rebate for free 3D Avatar!"

I am going today to get a new Panny 3D Blu-ray player and will send in my rebate form immediately.

There is a Transformers thread in this same forum that discusses this. The 3d version is coming, but at a later, unknown date.

Hey everyone,

Im new to this site but thought it might be useful to list the 3D films ive got, im not a technical review, I will just tell you what I think 'looks nice'. Ive only got 4 These little reviews are not in relation to the films themselves, just the 3D aspects.

My BEST film out of my collection in relation to 'depth' and 'pop out' effects is............Step Up 3D. Its the film i always put on to show off my 3D TV when people come round and want to know what it looks like. There are a few places in it which blow me away, even after ive seem it probably over 20 times. First being near the beginning when someone blows bubbles at the person dancing pops them. Then when a girl and boy blow their slush drink up into the air from an air vent, totally amazing. In relation to depth, as with most of mine, it feels like i could easily put my hand through the TV!

Second favourite is Tangled I really like the depth to this film. It not really got pop out features but the colour and depth is amazing, looks like its all happening in my front room. Firm favourite with my niece who says it looks like she could stroke the horse!

My 3rd is Drive Angry Its really good for pop outs bits and depth. In fact i would probably say it was joint 2nd. Very suprised by how good the 3D was actually.

4th. My only purchase on 3D which i regret. The other i would really recommend to buy. This has hardly ANY 3D aspects at all. Waste of time it being in 3D. Its Green Hornet.

So what shall I buy next. I was going to think about getting an IMAX one like under the sea but are they actual films or are they like those mini docu programmes to advertise 3D? What do you recommend I buy next?

My reviews you will probably find rubbish as they arent technical, but might help someone
Danielle

'MEGAMIND' is MEGAMIND-BLOWING in 3D!
The best I've ever seen.

Also, yeah...Green Hornet is craptastic.

Hey guys, I've just watched RE:A and I found the 3D good, but not as good as on Step Up 3. After reading the previous posts regarding RE:A, I've expected a little more. Maybe my expectations were too high, or I am getting used to 3D .. or maybe the movie isn't as good Step Up, in 3D terms. Tomorrow night I'll watch Despicable Me. I have high expectations, hope to find it better than Open Season.

LE: Just to make sure the problem isn't me nor the TV set, does any of you think the same about Step Up and RE? Thanks.

I own RE:A and I also wasn't that impressed with the 3D. There were scenes that looked like they were supposed to 'pop', but the effect seemed very muted imo. I haven't seen Step Up so I can't compare the two. I do wonder if it has something to do with my TV - I have a Sony 55HX800.

So far my favorite 3DTV blu-ray is Tangled. Drive Angry was pretty decent as well.

Not you, I also feel that StepUp is better then RE for the 3D.

RE: Afterlife is awesome. Haven't seen Step Up 3D but from what I've read the 3D very well may be better. $30+ is a lot to me these days, and at the time of purchase I was more interested in seeing zombies get shot up / blown up than people dancing. I'd love to check out Step Up 3D, but I refuse to watch a download-rental for $10 that's gonna be awful quality anyway, and I'd rather spend the $30 on The Lion King 3DBR (soooooo excited! ) on Oct. 4.

Maybe Blockbuster stores could save themselves from dying out if they rented 3DBR. Genius! I should be their CEO! Lol, but seriously, I would gladly pay $10 to rent a 3DBR (maybe a couple bucks less for the shorter documentaries etc), especially if it was a 2-night rental. They could literally air one commercial and word would spread like wildfire. But I digress...

I was about to rent a couple 3D movies from VUDU on the PS3... You guys are saying the quality is poor compared to the Bluray?

I would love to know what the quality is like also. It would be great if they provided a free 1-2 minute clip to test it. I hate the idea of streaming 3D movies in side-by-side or other open-source formats when the resolution will be half of what it would be on a blu-ray rental (or possibly worse).

Those with Vizio 3DTVs should have access to Sensio's new VOD 3D service this fall which will be streamed in blu-ray quality (since it will use the Sensio Hi-Fi format). Just waiting to find out what content will be available...

TRON 3D
New Pirates 3D, "On Strangers Tides"
3D Captain America
3D Green Latern

Just my 2 cents

PS http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer...ers-3d/trailer

Is the "Potato Cod", a big grey gropper with dark spots tail left and head right in a profile shot, then he turns towards the camer, and sticks 5 feet out in front of the TV in 3D? I've seen this in a demo at Best Buy and love that shot and effect!!!! I wondered were that came from, let me know , anybody.

Thanks,

Allan

This goes to show the contrasting opinions of 3D viewers. RE:A is the best action movie i seen in 3d , i found step up to be ok in 3d and sold it after watching it.
And Despicable Me..youre in for a treat. It's my favorite animated movie. Don't forget to watch the '3d test mini movies' on the disc.

And another ques..is this "potato cod" moniker in imax under the sea being given to that creature that rolls out of the screen a little while before the ending credits? When a song is going on?

Correct, it's from IMAX Under the Sea, at the 21 min mark

No song I think. It's at the 21 min out of 40 min mark

I went back and watched UTS and yes it does leap out a good amount from the screen. But there's also this white creature towards the end of the documentary (while some under the sea kinda song playing in the background) who jumps out and seemingly "kisses" you. That was jaw dropping too.
