Display size absolutely matters, since it directly affects how far apart the separation physically is. Separation of 20mm on a larger display is a lot "deeper" than separation of 2mm in a YouTube window for the same content. How far you're having to physically rotate your eyeballs is what determines depth. The relative position of the elements within the image will be the same in relation to each other, but not to the viewer.

how is the content? i usually enjoy most documentaries.

The story is absolutely horrendous. Even low budget studios routinely make engaging stories in TV but Sammy's is one bad taste in the mouth.
If only Pixar learnt how to make good 3D !
After watching Kingdom of Plants 3D, I may have to say Sammy's 3D is forgettable.

yea sammy isn't that good of a movie. madagascar3 i think is a better movie, and the 3d is good too.

Actually, image separation scales linearly with the change in height and width of the display. Therefore, display size has no direct affect on our perception of stereoscopic 3D proportions. The 3D proportions of a scene on a 65" screen from 5 feet away will be identical to the proportions of the same scene on a 13" display from 5 feet away. Viewing distance is the main variable because our interocular distance is constant and does not scale as we move closer or further away.

Try it out for yourself:

In the case of pop-out distance, an object might pop-out at 50% of the distance between the screen and the viewer. A viewer watching on a 65" display from 6 feet away would see the object sitting at 3 feet. Another viewer (with the same interocular distance) watching on a 13" display from 6 feet away would also see the object at 3 feet. Changing viewing distance to 10 feet away would result in the object appearing at 5 feet, regardless of display size.

Well, scratch that. After typing all this, I realize that you guys are right. Display size, despite not having no effect on 3D proportions, does change pop-out distance. An image that is larger will pop-out of the screen further. Thanks for the correction.

So we would need to know his display size and viewing distance.

I dont know about all the science behind display size, viewing distance etc. my screen is 108", viewing distance is about 12'. There are parts in Sammy's adventure where some objects are within a food of my seat. Pretty cool.cool.gif

AND viewing distance, definitely. You weren't wrong about that, but it's not the only part of the equation. smile.gif

Oddly enough, I've been enjoying 3D a bit more now that I've backed up a couple feet (22" monitor). I don't think it's any "deeper" per se, but everything just snaps together better since my viewing angle is more head-on.

There's a thread for Journey 2 here:

Thanks for the info.

Yep, you're right.

I've ordered it together with Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story 3 (both also in 3D) biggrin.gif and I can't wait to get home and watch them. This will have to wait though, 'cause now I'm visiting some relatives in another country. I'm also thinking of ordering Up in 3D, since I found it here to be very cheap, but haven't found any reviews on the web for it. Anyone can share any info regarding the 3D quality of this movie?

Is this thread bout: "Best 3d Bluray Movie so far????3d effects"?!?!
Or, viewing distance???

============

I'm a BIG fan of "Creature from the Black Lagoon"; none the less the minuet 3D detail is the best I've seen.
Instead of fakey effects, tracks in the sand, scrapes in the mud, belt buckles, hair, & underwater scenes all have the lOOk of natural depth. "Real" Good!
And it contains the '50's shock 3D stuff, like the claw, as well.
[which is representative of the depth I remember in the theater in the '70's]

For reference, I had just watchED "Prometheus", so it's not like I haven't been watching resent 3D incarnations/releases as well.

For anyone looking for a easy / cheap way to watch sammy's adventures all you have to do is open up a vudu account. You get a $5.99 credit and I think it ended up costing me $12

Dude, no wonder you didn't like the 3D quality of The Avengers.
Your watching a freaking tv channel!
The movie on blu-ray disc has much better picture quality.

Cool, how does VUDU do 3D SBS, top/bottom?

I've noticed on some things like video games that I had to switch it to side by side for 3d to work. On Vudu my tv didn't make me adjust anything similar to when I watch a 3d blu ray. Sorry I can't be of more help

Thanks for this. It works well on my PS3. Didn't really sit and watch it yet but testing it my 5 year old son was glued to the screen.

Your welcome, my lil 5yr old sister actually watched the whole movie. The story isn't the greatest, but it is the first 3d movie in a while that she actually sat through. If you haven't already Madagascar 3 3d is very good in 3d also

I plan on watching a few more movies this weekend.

Lion King 3D and Tron 3D.
So far, Prometheus and Immortals were a nice treat, but still looking for that pop-out effect.

You know, I really like the Lion King on my setup. Sure it's cartoon, and a converted one at that. But there are a few scenes that are really well done. cool.gif

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted has a really nice 3D presentation with plenty of depth and lots of stuff flying out of the screen. For anyone looking for a showcase video, this really embraces the more aggressive (what some would call gimmicky) aspects of 3D. Lots of demo material in this one.

That's it, i have 15 3D movies, this beats all for near-perfect 3D rendering. And no wonder, since
it was shot in native 3D.

Second best is "Under the Sea".

PS3>HC9000D>Carada Brill White 110"

Gotta agree that Prometheus has the best 3D, even including Avatar and Hugo. Now lets have a movie with great story, acting, and 3D. Hobbit?

Great to hear that, can't wait to see the movie! Now, regarding the latest releases, has anyone seen Ice Age Continental Drift or Step-Up or Finding Nemo and could comment regarding the video/3D quality?

LE: I've just watched Beauty and the Beast in 3D and wooow! Couldn't believe my eyes! Really great 3D considering it's such an old cartoon. Impressing depth, objects are very well delimited from the background. I've also watched Lion King in the past, but that't not even close to this one in terms of 3D. Makes the movie even greater!

+1 to that. I've also found the 3D in this movie excellent, lots of depth, amazing clarity and details and many pop-out effects.

I've also seen Madagascar 3 and I think it's 3D demo material. Lots of pop-out effects, and not gimmicks .. I think the movie was specially made for 3D, the snouts of animals come out of the screen, also the hat of the inspector and much, much more. Also dept is consistent and very good.

My turn to give you a +1!. Madagascar 3 was the best animated 3D I've seen and I've watched almost all of them---OLD kid here, lol. Lots of fun 3D!smile.gif

I'll post it here since I'm not getting any hits on my thread.

Never even heard of it, but there it was at fry's so I picked it up.
Jet Li's Flying Swords of Dragon Gate
http://www.amazon.com/Flying-Swords-Dragon-Gate-Blu-ray/dp/B008IG0E3Q/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1355347218&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=dragons+gate

This movie should earn an award for 3D artistry. You sometimes hear reviews of action movies talking about "swords in your face". Well that comment is an insult to this movie. This movie has shattered sword pieces in your face, and every weapon and particle you can imagine. There is a scene with a brownish sky and storm cloud and the natural depth is so amazing. With the thick of it coming out of the screen and the depth reaching so deep. Never saw a better 3d "sky" before. There is a scene where Jet Li is fighting on a ship and they are cutting ropes and rope peices are flying all over the place, toward you, deeper into the screen, everywhere.

I can tell whoever did this movie loves 3D. They took so much effort to make sure just about every scene had the most pop out AND depth into the screen. To be honest with you it's almost too much. But if you want to KNOW you are watching 3D, without having to lift up your glasses to see the difference. THIS is the movie for you. If this is a sign of future martial arts epics I will be keeping an eye on these types of movies in the future. Just one more example, a scene in a temple just outside, there are just the tips of tree branches sticking out on 3 separate corners of the screen JUST to add an extra look to that scene. It's not only bombarding you with incredible depth almost every scene, but there is hardly any ghosting what so ever.

It's a great 3D demo movie I'd put up there with Avatar, Under the Sea, and the last 30 minutes of Avengers. Definitely check it out if you want to see some amazing 3D. The action is great, but the story is convoluted and hard to follow, but it's really amazing "3d cinematography" if you ask me.

Thanks I'll have to check it out. I'm having Sector 7 3D shipped so I'll see how it goes. I'm not a big fan of subtitles b/c I have an odd notion that it takes away from the movies b/c you have to read and don't see all of the movie in it's great glory. Mainly action type movies, etc. Also probably because I'm a lazy reader smile.gif

Can anyone please confirm where the snake scene comes into this movie. I struggle slightly with sitting too long in front of the screen with this animation. Remember seeing the snake popping out scene and diving back for cover... Can someone pretty please confirm the time in the movie that it comes in? cool.gif
