I noticed that this movie (MBV3D) is Widescreen 1.85:1 format. This may be a crazy question but... For you people that already have a 3D TV is it possible with the 1.85 format to use the Zoom function of the 3D BD player to fill a 16:9 screen without loosing the 3D effect?
post #3 of 46
Yeah it is possible, but you may be better off using that function on the blu Ray player side to get the full screen fit. At least that's what I have to do with my Samsung BD-C6900. If I adjust it on the TV side I don't get the full screen, the bars are still present. At this point the 3D is so good I don't mind the letter box for sone reason maybe because my focus is else where. Long live Blu Ray3D, haha!

At 1.85:1 the screen should already be filled up.

Just goto Bestbuy.com and type in Bloody Valentine 3D and it will show up without a picture.. $34.99, Although I read a few press releases where they said the price would only be $17.99? But who knows

Yea, 34.99 is a bit pricey. I'll blind buy at 17.99 though (with Iron Man 2) as I have a $40 Reward Certificate to get rid of from the purchase of my VT20.

Hopefully this will be good in terms of 3D effects, Ive seen the movie already and its just ok... I'd love to be able to show this off to people who want to see live action and not animation 3D.

Crossing my fingers!
post #12 of 46
Oh, I definitely want to pick this one up. Nothing beats live-action 3D. I wonder how long the exclusive is for...
post #13 of 46
not really an exclusive, you don't have a best buy or can't order from best buy?
post #14 of 46
Just ordered. I Wonder why the option to pick-up at a local store is under "coming soon." I hope that changes before it releases.
post #15 of 46
I am waiting to see if they lower the price and/or allow store pickup
post #16 of 46
I will certainly pick this up for 17.99 but 34.99 I have to think about it. Not sure i would watch it twice except to show off some non animated 3d as others have said.
post #17 of 46
OK... seriously, what the hell am I doing wrong here!?

NOWHERE can I find this disc on the BB site. Help?

None of the links work, I don't find it when I type in BLOODY VALENTINE 3D...

SO yeah...

Well said. I rented it before and was not impressed by the story. I wish I could just rent it and be done with it. Final Destination 4 had a better story line and great pop-out 3D. I wish they would it would have been released also.

Myself, I was much more impressed with the stereoscopic aspect of MY BLOODY VALENTINE than with FINAL DESTINATION. I found the latter to be poorly and unimaginatively shot. Here's hoping FD 5 in 3-D (now shooting) will be better.

If you like horror movies, 3-D movies and don't take either too seriously, MY BLOODY VALENTINE is fun. The original version is better though.

Couldn't agree more. The makers of MBV clearly understood the need for layering within shots, and were able to add a few 'off-screen' gags without going overboard. It's a terrific combination of 3-D thrills and narrative drive. The producers of THE FINAL DESTINATION tried to drum up a bit of publicity for their own picture by criticizing the use of 3-D in MBV in comparison to TFD, which they promised would be 'much better'. In fact, TFD was shot and composed no differently from a 2-D movie, with too many close-ups and medium shots, few of which lasted anything more than 3 to 5 seconds, and the whole thing just fell 'flat' (literally).

To my complete and utter surprise (given my ultra-low expectations of it), the very best example of layering and composition I've seen to date in a 21st century 'digital' 3-D film is (drum-roll, please) RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE. Yep, you read that right. I thought it was going to be absolutely dreadful, but this fair-to-middling action movie was completely transformed by some of the most sumptuous 3-D images I've seen to date. These guys really understood the concept of 3-D and ramped it to the max! Truly, truly astonishing!!

At $34.99 I am not biting. If it goes on sale for $19.99 or less... it's mine

Thanks for help locating it, guys!

Probably won't see that price until 9-12 months after release.
