It will be a bit before I am able to take a peek at CFBL (as its coming from the UK), but the screenshots are not encouraging...

Thank you for posting the detailed reply James. As you noted, with the alignment issues not fully addressed, it COULD have looked better. What troubles me is 3-D vertical misalignment is directly related to eyestrain, and therefore should always be corrected. Sad, sad..

That is it exactly. I refer to this effect as perceived parallax, as the movie's actual 3-D parallax naturally does not change, but how the viewer perceives this built in parallax visually is also based on the distance from viewer to the display screen itself.

No, not when discussing perceived parallax and eyestrain, which was my point. Yes, the 3-D image will be more "round", and the depth effect increases, but eyestrain is reduced when sitting further back, thanks to the decrease in perceived parallax. As you mentioned above:

Kevin, I'm glad you were finally able to see CFBL in a process other than anaglyph. The depth in this feature is superior because the interaxial (camera spacing) is wider than most of today's 3-D features. So even when things are not the "poke in the eye" variety, the depth will consistently be...

Oh, absolutely. We are talking 1991 here. New Line did 3-D the only way practical at that time: Anaglyph. I'm not a fan of the process, but installed silver screens were very far and few between in 1991. If they would have done a polarized film release, only a handful of theaters would have...

The only couple I am aware of were SPY KIDS 3-D and SHARKBOY & LAVAGIRL, which was before the Real-D and Dolby 3-D systems were available. I belive NOTLD3D was the last digital anaglyph presentation, and that did not have a widespread release.

What aspect of the 3-D impressed you the most? Did you notice any shots where the image was notably deeper (behind the screen)? Any thing you didn't care for, as in ghosting, looked reversed, or ...? How was the widescreen framing?

HDvision, given it is Wednesday, just remember that sleep is very over rated. :P I'll be curious to hear your review as well. The issues of some shots being sharp while others being softer mirror my 35mm viewing experiences.

My first experience seeing Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D was the early 1970's anaglyph re-release when it was shown at a local college in the late 1970s. The anaglyph re-release prints could vary in overall quality and color accuracy. The print I saw lacked sharpness and also was...
