I can see how some might be underwhelmed, but I really like this one. The scenery is beyond spectacular, and the native dual 70mm photography is top-notch. It was shot with the IWerks 3-D rig, state-of-the-art for the time. The storyline and acting is basic stuff, and the running time and...

In all honesty, 80s 3D movies do not have the best reputation, and unfortunately all of those currently available on disc all suffer to varying degrees from occasional alignment issues that should have been corrected during digital remastering. My personal favourite among those available is...

polarized 3D is indeed superior to anaglyph 3D, that's absolutely correct. One of the most satisfying examples of non-gimmicky 3D I've come across on disc is Miss Sadie Thompson. I recommend it to anyone who asks, and anyone who will listen, and sometimes to people who didn't ask and don't...

The unlikely premise delivered a totally unique movie with tour-de-force visuals and a solid 3D presentation. Maybe that's not enough.

One of the best titles available. It's an absolute showcase. The 3D is what makes it magical. The House of Magic is what it's called in the region B release. It's the original title. I like it better, recalls various other "House of" titles, not least House of Wax. I don't know why they...

Blade Runner 2049. For a good hour or more, I thought it was lousy. Dull, dreary, uncompelling. Then it started to come together. There are other films that I like early on which then start to loose me. I really liked Hard to Be a God, for the first half hour or more, but it just got to be...

I tried to buy Valerian 3D yesterday in a Tower Records but was told that (unlike The Mummy) it had sold out. Of course this means nothing since I have no idea how many of either were in stock to begin with. Demand for 3D, often underestimated. Same thing happened with Kong earlier this year...

someone on another forum said as much and posted this link. I suppose on hold is more accurate. It may be for the best to reassesss their priorities at this point before they go forward. The contemporary setting was perhaps one of the biggest mis-steps for the series. They showed it could...

not even an option for me. - I either get it 3D or not at all. Unfortunately it's not really a good enough film for me to watch it in 2d. I was quite scathing in my original assessment of the movie when I saw it theatrically, but the home 3D experience isn't a total waste. It may not be...

On a whim I bought The Mummy 3D at retail last week among several other purchases. Going back with it tomorrow. Turned out it was just the 3D slipcase over a completely empty blue case! I usually pay more attention than that.

Forgot about that one. Don't have a single nice thing to say about it sadly. Among the first of many questionable purchases where I was enticed by the 3D realm into lowering my (not espcially lofty) standards! I'm glad you got it cheap!

You made the right choice. Stalingrad has decent production values but clueless storytelling. Incidentally, (perhaps surprising in the case of the Lincoln film) both are the work of Russian directors.

they turned it into a very bland and insipid movie in a horribly misguided attempt to commercialize it. I don't know why they didn't just handle it with the tone of the BBC original. The one thing it has over the 1999 series (besides the 3D of course) is the superior dinosaur models by the...

It's a good while since I watched Legend of Hercules, but these films are 2 different kinds of bad. American Mummy is absolutely woeful, and a waste of everybody's time, in my view. The people involved just didn't have the budget or the inspiration or the talent to do anything worthwhile...

I hope not, I enjoyed the Imax 3D presentation, but the bluray is still on my to-buy list. I like to see 3D-Blurays sell well, but in theory I'd like everything to remain easily accessible and available for people at various stages of collecting and for those just getting into 3D.

Are you planing to swap tvs soon? So long as my current hardware holds up, I intend to continue to purchase whatever 3D movies I am interested in. Looking beyond that, I am convinced that sooner or later, 3D options will return to the market. Even if I were to lose the ability to watch...

I'm much the same, for various reasons. It's liberating to have access to foreign releases, as well as discs that were impossible to find at retail, but I limit it to that. I've had a few bad experiences, in terms of the shipping costs involved, and product that was supposed to be new, and just...

which two new ones do you mean: Gun Fury and ... another? Have Twilight Time mentioned any updates on the status of Gorilla At Large? I'd like to think the recent sell-outs will prompt them to seek out further releases, but I haven't seen anything that'd make me particularly hopeful on that.

... that's not how you're supposed to play with Lego. The instructions provided are only for those kids with no imagination.

Been meaning to pick up Twixt for some time now. Coppola must be the only filmmaker to have worked across 3 distinct eras of 3-D. The other film being Captain EO.

The vertical alignment varies from severely off, to about right, to slightly off. There are also many shots where one eye is significantly darker than the other. It's a shame to see these correctable issues in shots that would otherwise be quite effective. There are also a few vfx scenes with...

were it not for the unaddressed vertical alignment issues, I'd say this was one of the best transfers of 80s 3-D currently available. It's a real shame, particularly detrimental to early parts of the film. In the sections of the film where the alignment is better, I found the 3-D highly...

A poor movie in 2d can be a totally different experience in 3-D. Although this isn't always the case, as 3D quality can vary significantly. Likewise a great 3-D movie can be a very average 2d movie. But a poor 3d movie is just a poor movie period.

This is because Imax uses linear polarization, unlike RealD's circular polarization.

well, mission accomplished. They impressed no one. They seem quite proud of their logic, but their whole rationale on 3-D is just wrong. Their aim seems to be to make sure people won't notice what they're being charged extra for. Baffling. The quiet moments shouldn't be seen as the place to...
