I have 3:

Toy Story 3
Dial M
Creature of the Black Lagoon

I think my copy of Journey to the Center... might also have the 3D version but I found the writing on the sleeve a little ambiguous.

Avatar (the Panasonic exclusive that came with my TV)
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Titanic

I'll get The Amazing Spider-Man when it comes out as well.

3D Blu-rays are just far too expensive since they are usually 4-disc combos that with taxes come close to $50.

Is that what they're going for in Canada? Wow.

To amend my original count I only have 4. For some reason I assumed the original releases of Pixar ones were 3D, such as Wall-E and Up.

I don't buy anything online so there could be craploads of discounts I don't know about, but walking into any Walmart, Best Buy, etc and seeing the vast majority of Blu-ray 3D titles on shelves ranges in price from the low ($32.99 to $37.99) to the high ($42.99 and up depending on the title, like some of the Disney movies, IMAX movies, etc.)

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was thankfully only $25, and I've recently seen some of the Marvel movies (Thor, Captain America) on sale for $29.99 or so, probably just the usual sale promo to tie in with The Avengers.

Titanic and The Avengers were $32.99 for the first few days when they came out.

Pretty sure that's all of them. I generally don't go out of my way to get them unless they're cheap for some reason (Hugo on Black Friday) or the only version of the film available (Dredd and Texas Chainsaw). I plan on getting The Wolverine in 3D at some point only because that edition has an extended cut of the film exclusive to that set.

I'm not being sarcastic because I don't follow 3D, but are there many new releases? From the outside, the fad seems to be fading.

Re: How many 3D Blu-Rays do you have?
 
Five...I think

Gravity
Dial M For Murder
House Of Wax
Creature From The Black Lagoon
Titanic

Just recently got a 3D capable player but probably won't have a 3D pj until my current one (2007/8 build) goes belly up...which I hope is a long ways off as I still love the images it throws.
But all five of those I would love to see in 3D. Not real interested in most new films and post-conversions, but there are still a few solid old catalog titles that would be insanely cool to see get a 3D release (like Inferno with Robert Ryan that I just picked up on an MOD the other day).

I'll agree with your assessment when they stop releasing 3D in theaters. So far, that seems to still be going pretty strong.

Re: How many 3D Blu-Rays do you have?
 
^They're still releasing 3D movies in theaters, but 2D screenings far outnumber 3D screenings, when it used to be the opposite. It's definitely fading, at least in the US. At least one film this year was released in 3D overseas, but not in the US.

E Unit 06-08-14 04:14 PM

Re: How many 3D Blu-Rays do you have?
 
Right, but those 3D movies released here, are they being released on blu in 3D? I actually don't know, does anyone know which 3D movies have been released theatrically but not on blu ray? I can only think of Frozen, but we already know that's coming in October.

And I don't know of one single movie that's been released on more 3D screens than 2D, even back in its heyday.

Which simply shouldn't be happening- if a movie's made in 3D, it should be shown in 3D, period. I'm sure most of the people going to those 2D screenings are doing so mainly because they don't want to pay the extra charge for 3D, another thing that simply shouldn't be happening.

My parents went to Italy last month and picked up Frozen in 3D for me there- it's out in just about every country except the US and Canada. Stupid Di$ney.

hanshotfirst1138 06-08-14 05:44 PM

As I have no interest in 3-D, and certainly don't want to pay for a format in which I'm uninterested, I'm glad that 2-D is an option. The money is a big part of it, but I've simply never seen something in 3-D where I've thought that I'd have missed out on something if I saw it in 2-D instead.

Overall, of course not, as there were still always more 2D screens in the country than 3D, but a few years back, it was not unheard of to walk into a multiplex and find the latest blockbuster playing on 2 3D Screens and 1 2D Screen. Now it's the other way around.

Released in 3D and MADE in 3D are two different things. Just because a movie's released in 3D doesn't mean that it was made in 3D or composed to be screened that way. So many 3D conversions are done as lazy afterthoughts and frankly don't deserve the extra money.

hanshotfirst1138 06-08-14 11:22 PM

Either way, I'm glad there's a 2-D option. I've seen a few 3-D films, and to be honest, I never thought I was missing out on a lot if I'd simply chosen the 2-D option. I'm pretty much done with 3-D altogether, if there are interested parties, by all means, make it available to them, but I'm glad to have the choice.

This is exactly the point. I have paid to see several 3d movies in theaters. I ahve yet to see one that really wowed me with the effect. They have all been very weak, or non existant in my opinion. Why would I want to pay more for a movie ticket, more for a home video release, more for a player and a tv to watch them on, for what I consider to be a rather crappy effect?

Paul_SD 06-09-14 01:27 PM

Re: How many 3D Blu-Rays do you have?
 
Gravity in Real 3d and Imax was the first (only) time that the tech has seemed to me, indispensable to the level of enjoyment I had...which was considerable.

I paid a premium for it and walked out feeling it had been well worth it.

Both of these were quickie 3D conversions performed by the mostly-automated JVC conversion software. I, Robot is cropped from the original aspect ratio to full-screen 16:9 and is not very impressive in 3D. It suffers a lot of "pop-up book effect," where it looks like a series of flat planes arranged in front of one another.

I haven't seen Predator but am told that its 3D is slightly better (improvements in the software, I guess). However, it's been confirmed that the 3D version is based on the horrid "Ultimate Hunter Edition" transfer that was DNR'ed to hell and back, which is reason enough for me to avoid it. Predator is also a pretty dark movie, and dark images aren't well suited to 3D.

The way I see it, if a film was designed and shot to be shown in 3D, then I want to watch it in 3D...as that's how the filmmakers intended for the film to be seen. If it's been post-converted to 3D, I'm not quite as much of a stickler. Still, if a filmmaker intended for the film to be seen in 3D, then watching it flat is no better than watching it in a modified aspect ratio--you're not staying true to the way the director wanted it to be seen.

If a film I like was shot in 3D, then I'm buying it in 3D and watching it in 3D.
