No. It redeems HD only.Does the digital code in the 3D package redeem for a UHD/4K digital version? If so, that would allow someone to have both 3D and 4K versions in one purchase.

The other factor is that the 3D disc doesn't have an Atmos track, which shouldn't be a deal-breaker since there's nothing wrong with the 7.1, but it may still affect decision-making. It is frustrating that the policy that studios like Disney have of not including Atmos tracks with Blu-rays in general also includes their rare 3D releases. Immersive video should be matched to immersive audio, if it's available.Difficult. I project 3D, so it’s darker than it should be. The 2D is beautiful. If you run on a bright panel, you shouldn’t have a problem.
But then there’s 4k. And it’s reference.
Unfortunately, my 3-D days in my main HT setup are soon coming to an end when I go to larger LG OLED to replace my current 65" LG OLED. Therefore, I won't be purchasing this title on 3-D disc, but instead I have a 4K/UHD on its way to me.I have the 3D Blu-ray on its way from the Disney Movie Club. I ordered it from that site so they will see there is some interest in 3D, even if I'm the only one that ordered from them.
Gemini Man and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk were both shot in high frame rate 3D. Both had 3D Blu-ray releases. Billy Lynn...had a combo 3D 24 fps Blu-ray/ 4K 60 fps UHD release in the US. Gemini Man had a 4k 60 fps UHD release in the US and a separate 3D 24 fps Blu-ray release in other markets (I imported mine from Germany).Are you sure about Ang Lee? If you're referring to Life of Pi, I never got around to seeing that in 3D, and based on the 2D version, I'm sure I would've loved it (I've also heard nothing but great things about the 3D version).
But his most recent 3D film was Gemini Man...
On edit: Of course, Gemini Man was his most recent film, period.
And that's a 3D Blu-ray that was done right, with the Atmos track included on it.Gemini Man and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk were both shot in high frame rate 3D. Both had 3D Blu-ray releases.

Yes, I don't know why I still associate del Toro's name with that trilogy.Jackson's.
I was wondering about this, which is why I made a pre-order for the 3D version which I almost never do. But I have no evidence that this was the intention. My 3D copy was supposedly delivered today from Best Buy. I imagine pre-orders/demand for 3D may have been higher than expected.or a very small print run?
there is no low bass extension or hard hits when necessary for the moment. The track is filtered at 30 Hz. The same goes for the first Avatar on 4k Blu-ray.
I have heard the theatrical mixes were equally disappointing. Even Cameron cannot escape Disney's lack of audio engineering prowess.
It's the whole mix for sound bars thought process. They don't have subwoofers, so why have low bass? There was talk in the industry about this practice of no longer mixing to high end home theater system standards a while back and some studios moved over to that MO and others like Sony and WB did not, for the most part.The original Avatar Blu-ray also hit a wall at about the same point for low-end, and that predated the Disney acquisition of 20th Century Fox. In this instance, I don't think this is so much a Disney issue, as that Cameron's sound people are on board with the "We don't really need deep bass, do we?" trend in sound mixing.
Much like Christopher Nolan, to whom audio aspects of filmmaking seem to be unimportant. Audio mixes on his films are always kind of muddled.
That's a whole other kettle of fish. Nolan went the exact opposite way... who needs highs and mids, when we can have BASS!!!! And... Dialog? We don need no stinkin' dialog!Much like Christopher Nolan, to whom audio aspects of filmmaking seem to be unimportant. Audio mixes on his films are always kind of muddled.
This set has bothLooking forward to viewing this in all its 3D glory. It's currently streaming on Max in 4K Dolby Vision and I took a quick peek at it but will wait until the disc arrives for the full 3D experience. I did not see it in the theater unlike the first one.
And hopefully, maybe someday a manufacturer will release a new 3d/4K UHD set since Cameron will continue this series as mentioned in addition to the re-releasing of back catalogue titles and has a lot of clout. I also wish Scorsese and Ang Lee would make more 3D films because both of their last ones were sublime.
