I have seriously considered creating my own for those with projection systems because there is a significant difference in 3D effect between watching an image from 2.5+ screen widths away (typical TV) and

Yay. Another 3D design that has two different color images going to each eye. Why don't we just have 7.1 surround sound with each speaker having the sound shifted up or down a few hertz? Who'd notice, right?

There is a reason and that reason is the lifetime of biased experience that film is 'better' than video (TV) and 24p = film and 30p = video therefore 24p is better than 30p or any HFR because if it isn't 24p, it isn't film. I use FI on low all the time on my Sony 95ES projector. Lest you...

I agree with much of what Foxy said but let me add my own perspective here. First, the best 3D conversion is only okay real 3D because the computer has to make up what the side of something looks like without being able to see it. In practice though you end up with non-continuous depth with...

I think Ben Strassen has been reading this forum in HTF. His statements are just about verbatim from our discussions.

I do think that there is a difference of what the term "popout" means to the two groups. For the ones in the group that think popout is a gimmick they seem to think of it as something tossed at the audience as in 'something suddenly popped out of the screen to make people duck'. Reasonable...

A 3D film that does not use both sides of the screen is to me the equivalent to when movies were first shot 'in color' if they had no blue in them. Technically it is color compared to monochrome black and white and people would prefer the limited color palette over B/W. They could have even...

I would like to add some more to the native vs. conversion discussion as it pertains to the differences in the image size to seating distance ratio. Obviously there are many people who (literally) see not much difference between top shelf conversions and quality native 3D and I am not about to...

I am concerned studios will look at those numbers and either abandon 3D because they cannot get enough "free" money from easy 3D conversions or they double down on even cheaper and easier 3D conversions (and the 3D suffering for it), making their 3D premium on just 20-25% of the moviegoers...

Then the unintended? message you are sending the studios is "Why bother with the extra effort and expense of shooting native 3D and just do the post conversion since the consumers are still willing to pay either way." This quote for MIB 3 does not bode well for native 3D Link...

I think Foxy responded just fine to this but I will add: Why do you think "Objects in front of the screen" are literally in your face? I sit 11' back and I am confident most watching 3D TV are sitting a good 8+' back. There is a lot a space between the display and 1-2' away from you. Breaking...

Titanic 3D was supposed to be the best conversion there is according to Ron and others who have seen many conversions, only some of which I own. If Titanic 3D is truly the best 3D conversion there is then I absolutely stand by my statement because it is not nearly as good a well done native 3D...

I have Titanic 3D and to me there is no such thing as "a great 3D conversion". The best still look like exactly what they are; a conversion. At best you can say is that the latest and greatest conversion is better than previous efforts and that it can look a little better than badly shot...

I wonder if this thread needs to evolve into "3D blu-rays worth owning" now that there are so many 3D movies out. Basically set a very high bar for 3D usage and every movie that meets or exceeds it gets on the list. We still have your overall rating to order them and the bar can be raised if...

I guess that is where we strongly disagree. To me and my family Wreck It Ralph's 3D was nothing more than "put in a second camera for the 3D effect and play it perfectly safe". Nothing in the visuals made me think that they were trying to make a 3D movie and simply being in 3D is generally not...

To give some sense of my perspective, Madagascar 3 would be my #1 by a bit, although I have not seen every movie in the Top 23. That movie seemed to approach their image from the perspective "How can we enhance the visual part of the movie with 3D?" rather than the more common "Wouldn't this be...

My family and I watched Wreck It Ralph 3D recently and I cannot believe how much we disagree with Ron's assessment of the 3D. I'm not arguing against Ron's choice, more commenting on how differently we rate it. We watched it projected by a Sony 95ES 10' wide from 11' back. Personally I find...

Sure, I have also expanded my 3D collection with $20 or less titles from BB especially during their very big sale before Xmas 2012 but "BB has 20 3D movies for

Hadn't thought of that especially when I already have the 2D version from before I had 3D. Last night I ordered Despicable Me 3D used for $16.60. It is supposed to be the Region Free version so I'll see in a few days.

I too try to never pay more the $20 for a 3D movie so the key is patience and also be willing to never buy a specific title. I have been waiting for Despicable Me 3D to be $20 and I'm still waiting. Best Buy did have a false sale for it recently for $20 plus it was during upgrade and save but...

I know I'm late to the discussion of Tron Legacy but considering I really like the movie and it is one of only two live action 3D movie I have that doesn't have numerous 3D scenes that take me right out of the movie, I thought I toss in a few pennies. I have mentioned bits of the following...

Does the R2 Blu-ray work in my U.S. player or do I need to dedicate a player just for this one title?
