When I saw Shrek-3D at Costco for $15.99, I decided to go ahead and get it. The movie has the aspect ratio of 2.20:1 and is anamorphic widescreen. Only 16 minutes long including about 5 minutes of credits. It comes in a two-pack box and the 2nd film with it is the original "Shrek" movie that is in 1.33:1 Full Frame only. Both movies have their own keep cases. Since I already have the first "Shrek" movie in widescreen, I'm going to give the unopened one to charity.
The 3-D picture is not as good as IMAX 3-D that would use polarized glasses, but there are many scenes that capture the IMAX 3-D visual effect, and this says a lot, when you are using Red and Cyan glasses. Using these same kind of glasses for "Spy Kids 3-D" IMO, was far less rewarding and displayed a soft focus for the 3-D portions. The glasses made the color in Spy Kids, almost non existent, (seeming more like black and white).
The animated digital picture in Shrek-3D is pristine. This must be what is giving the 3-D more clarity and the colors a better pallet for the eyes. Though still not perfect, my eyes could pick up the vibrancy. Just a surprisingly better 3-D image than what I'm used to while using these kind of glasses.
The movie comes with four pairs of red and cyan glasses.
The Shrek-3D disc gives you the choice of viewing it in 3-D or 2-D and even in 2-D makes a nice continuation of the first movie.
The Sound choices are English 5.1 or 2 channel surround and French 5.1 or Spanish 5.1
Chapters can be reached by the DVD player, but no "Scene Access" from the menu.
