    Is COVID-19 The Nail In The Coffin of 3D Cinema?

    As an avid 3D fan who has invested heavily in 3D technology for both home viewing and production I pose this question as pre-pandemic presentations of 3D film theatrical film conversions were getting rare in my area of the country (Northern California) and now that the theater chains are in deep...

    What Ever Happened to Paramount's "The Vagabond King?"

    As a free viewing choice on Amazon Prime TV I watched Paramount's 1956 production of "The Vagabond King." The print was crap but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Google searching showed it was filmed in VIstaVision so it was especially disappointing to see this train wreck of a print of a fine film that...

    Starting To See A Lack Of New BD Releases in 3-D

    It seems the studios are starting to give up on releasing 3D films that weren't blockbusters and I hate to see this sorry trend as some of these films were only available to be seen in 3D in my area for only a week. We have: Pete's Dragon BFG Secret Life of Pets Ben Hur Sausage Party All these...

    Star Wars Prequels Box Set Coming.....

    There is a rumor on the Digital Bits site that a five disc Star Wars 3D boxed set is in the works for the fall. This would include the prequels and The Force Awakens. Lets hope this is true as it sounds doable as we know 3D conversions exist for all these films. Please Disney take my money...

    Anyone get the DirecTV 4K package for a Sony 4K ready set?

    I recently purchased the Sony XBR75X940D and I'm loving the great picture quality and performance. As a DirecTV user and now having a Sony DirecTV Ready Set I decided to go for it and have DirecTV come and install the new 4K service. After the setup I have found the whole control setup totally...

    3D What happened to Star Wars Episodes 1-3 in 3D?

    Well there is no hiding from the Star Wars marketing blitz and with all the current reissues of the past Star Wars films on the shelves the absence of any blu-ray 3D titles is glaring, at least to me. I remember a lot of talk back when the D23 Expo showed all the prequels in 3D that these would...

    3D Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    Just watched the second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and was very suprised that it will be presented in 3D. Happy but surprised as I thought Disney's lack of 3D enthusiasm and J.J. Abrams past comments would make this one a the big budget break from 3D I believe Disney would...

    3D Star Wars Prequels To Be Shown In 3D

    Shocking news to me is that the Star Wars Prequels are going to be shown in 3D at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim on April 16-19, 2015. http://www.starwars.com/news/revenge-of-the-sith-3d-coming-to-star-wars-celebration The big question is the possible release of these films on blu-ray...

    3D UK Release of Step Up All In 3D Region Code Check.......

    The Step Up 3D titles have become a guilty pleasure and once again the USA is being denied the blu-ray 3D disc of this title. Can anyone verify that Step Up All In 3D is in fact region free as I would hate to import it and be disappointed.

    3D Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3D - $19.96!

    I just noticed that the 3D blu-ray of Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3D is being sold around town and on the internet for $19.96. It is also being packaged in the rational presentation of a 3D disc and 2D disc without a redundant DVD disc but with a digital copy for those who like it. I...

    3D What ever happened to "The Last Emperor 3D"

    What ever happened to "The Last Emperor" 3D conversion. The last I heard it was shown at the Festival de Cannes 2014. Any hope of getting a bluray 3D release of this classic or is the home 3D parade coming to an end.

    3D Disney Does it again...No 3D Bluray announced for "Maleficent."

    Once again Disney shows their true feelings of disregard for the bluray 3D format with their announcement of the home video release of Maleficent on November 4 with no mention of a 3D version whatsoever. I for one would like to know who in the marketing department makes these decisions regarding...

    3D Anyone hear of "Viy 3D" ?

    Just came across this trailer after reading in Variety that this picture was Russia's new "box office champion." Check out the preview I hope this ends up on blu-ray as it looks pretty wild.

    Why does VUDU look better than the other streamers?

    Just got high speed cable and have had my first experience with streaming. Netflix "super HD" certainly doesn't look very super or HD to me, while VUDU HDX looks more like I had hoped HD streaming would look. Is it the compression algorithim or something? Can anyone explain why there is such a...
