3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases (5 Viewers)

Ang Lee’s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” Is A $50 Mil Mistake in 4D, Which is 2D Too Many

Bring your Dramamine, because Ang is besotted by a new process that combines 3D with something called 4K, which produces 120 frames per second. Not only do you have to wear special glasses for it, but when the main character keeps asking for Advil in the film, you will be too. .........................................

whatever this new process is– please, no one use it again. It makes the screen look like a video show or a soap opera. It has that HD effect you’re always trying to fix on your Smart TV. I don’t know what Ang Lee was thinking. He said before last night’s screening that he was very nervous. And he did say, “I am not crazy.” But something sold this Oscar winner on a pig in the poke. The lighting is bad, close ups are horrendous, no favors are given to even good looking actors, forget old ones are homely types. Steve Martin, a handsome man, should sue

The Hobbit movies looked godawful at 48 fps so I can only imagine that 120 fps looks 2 and a half times more like a video game any time there's a camera move or movement onscreen. It's been nearly two years since there was a HFR movie so I thought the look and the reaction to The Hobbit effectively killed HFR.

Oh dear.

I loved the HFR version of the Hobbits.

+ freak'n 1! I liked the look of HFR 3-D. The hobbits looked fantastic.

BTW, Ron, amazon is totally messing with us. They dropped the price of Ghostbusters 4K + 3D to $25.96 just shy of our $24.99 barrier. I don't know about you, but I'm staying on my side of the line drawn in the sand.

The detail on static shots is excellent or even amazing but whenever there was any movement, it looked like a cut scene from a video game to me.

We saw the first Hobbit movie at a regular 3D IMAX movie theatre and I always thought I was missing something by not seeing HFR, so when the second one came out I made sure we saw it in the new format. WE COULDN'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE! We saw the 3rd one at a regular IMAX 3D theatre.

Yup. It's gotta drop another buck for me to buy it.

Keep me informed.

A slightly different take: http://variety.com/2016/film/news/ang-lee-billy-lynns-long-halftime-walk-2-1201890156/

I think it's good that filmmakers are taking chances, even if they don't pay off. It's going to be a while before there is a "killer app" for this kind of visceral experience.

Picked up It came from outer space today for £8. I think I read the film itself is not great but the 3D pretty strong ?. Is it worth a look ?.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

In my opinion, It Came From Outer Space is a good movie with good 3D.

 

[Jimbo64]

I agree wholeheartedly

Deadline Hollywood did an in depth story about Billy Lynn and said it is a game changer. Worth reading.

Ron, amazon heard about our stance on the price of Ghostbusters (2016) (4K UHD/3D Blu-ray/UV Combo) and decided to make us happy. I'm joking of course, but it is $24.99 right now.

Anthony,

Thank you so much!!! I saw your post and immediately ordered Ghostbusters.

Now the wait for TARZAN to come down in price.
