3d blu-ray reviews

I know what some will say. "He's always got something to complain about." Not really. Only when I find something not making sense. Good news first. Kong: Skull Island is a gorgeous presentation in 3D. Enough to either make it mandatory viewing in addition to or, possibly instead of 4k, but...
