Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

So buy it somewhere else ;) :

Most of the previous ones couldn’t be had for much less than $80 anyway.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

True. Some how it was more reasonable though.

$100?? No. Just no. This will be the first Marvel Blu 3D I won’t get. I’m not paying $100 USD. That’s ridiculous. I’ll buy the digital with all extras, but not paying $100. Dammit.

Well, THAT escalated rather quickly--6 minutes from "I'm not buying it" to "I bought it." Is that a record?

And it certainly sheds new light on your signature, OldBoy! :lol:

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Well, in those 6 minutes, I realized or remembered how good the first looks in 3D. But, mostly it was the semi-completist in me. I have every other, even the not so great Dr. Strange 2 and Thor 4. I knew I wanted it, but I can justify the $75, since I’ve obviously done before, but never paid $100. It’s a disease, I know it all to well. That’s what happened in those six minutes.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

What do you think is the best Marvel movie on Blu-ray 3D?

I think for me it’s a toss up between Black Panther and Doctor Strange.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Anyone get Jurassic World: Dominion? Wondering how it is in 3D. Thanks.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Thought it was as excellent as the other 3D Blu-ray versions in the franchise. Hard to say much about each new 3D Blu as they're usually up to expectations: lots of depth, no pop-outs, etc. Just wish Random Space would get some kind of contract to release the Marvel movies. :)

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Found a 3D Doctor Who Blu-ray...at Dollar Tree of all places just last week.

Is it one of these?

Doctor Who: Dark Water / Death in Heaven 3D
Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor 3D

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

There were Doctor who’s in 3D?

There's two.

There's "The Day of the Doctor," which is the 50th Anniversary special, and was shot in 3D.

Then there's "Doctor Who: Dark Water / Death in Heaven," which is a two-parter season finale that was converted to 3D for a limited theatrical screening and home video release.

Hamilton Book has the latter for $4.95:

They also have a number of other relatively cheap 3D Blu-rays:

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

I thought WAKANDA was the worst of the MCU movies. I'd not pay more than $15 for it but only to keep my MCU collection complete.

If you backed Robot Monster on Kickstarter, you have to go in and update your mailing address.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Will be interesting to see how the 3D is in this, given how badly-made it looks in general. 3D Film Archive does have a habit of making movies look better than they were meant to.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

That cover alone makes me want it. The 3D is secondary. 😂 Is this up for preorder anywhere?

The Kickstarter was posted in this thread some time ago, but it ended. My post earlier was Furmanek’s most recent update from the Kickstarter page.

They actually got over six times their initial ask of $10,000, so clearly there’s still a lot of love out there for it. I like the new cover art (presumably it will be used for the lenticular slipcover add-on), but I really hope the original promotional materials will be on the disc as a gallery of some kind.

I guess the only way to buy it now is to just wait until Bayview starts selling it.

I think the Archive makes even ‘bad’ movies like these look they way their makers intended them to look, which was more often undermined over the years by faulty printing and projection processes of the era (key reasons why 3D was so short-lived compared to today) and furthermore by subsequent re-releases via worn-out prints and inferior video formats like anaglyphic VHS. It’s a shame so many of the filmmakers of that brief 50’s 3D wave can’t to see their features properly presented today.

Note that the Kickstater backers are due to get their copies "in time for the 70th anniversary of the June 24, 1953 world premiere in Los Angeles."

So I'm guessing the retail release will be June or later.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

I have been hanging on to my PS4 VR stuff for near a year now just to watch this stupid movie. :lol:

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

This could end up being the release of the year.

Random Space is teasing 3 Dreamworks movies that got snubbed though: Bad Guys, Rise of Gru and Sing 2.

Nice. I was wondering if those might end up there. :thumbsup:

Just noticed some comments on their Facebook post begging for the JAWS (75) 3D disc as well. Considering their relationship with Universal, that would be pretty cool.

Re: The Official "3D" Blu ray Thread. Now with Smell-O-Vision.

I would love The Bad Guys in 3D. Please someone post when preorder is up.
