The 3D image on the disc looked better to my eyes than the 3D presentation I saw in theaters.

The 3D image is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. The 2D playback is noisier than the 3D in certain shots, and appears slightly softer. It's not so bad, but the 3D image is among the best 3D presentations I've seen on disc, whereas the 2D is good but not great.

Great to hear that Lionsgate provided yet another worthwhile presentation on Blu-ray! I will probably end up picking this title up sooner or later. I really enjoyed the film, as readers saw from my review. Great theatrical experience and I look forward to experiencing it on my home theater system.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/22/13

Despite getting a review copy, I'd like to buy one to show the studios that there is demand for this material. Are there any special releases coming out, or is it just the standard packaging everywhere?

If only the BD would have had this as an alternate score option.

Meh. Maybe I'll buy a regular copy and give it to a friend who wouldn't otherwise have purchased it.

This seems like something that will drop in price quickly, so this will be a wait until its $10 type of movie to pick up. Didn't really love it that much.

Do those chips just land on your shoulder or do you have to put them there yourself?

I didn't realize saying that you didn't love a movie equates to a chip on your shoulder. I've seen you with far bigger ones then

It's a Lionsgate release. It'll be under $15 by March.

You're free to like or dislike whatever you want, you just seemed to have an axe to grind with that last comment.

Not sure how. Maybe it's just you?

I guess I read the "Good" as "Good, let me take this movie down a peg." If that's not how you meant it, then my bad.

Upgrade and Save starts on the 13th...this comes out on the 8th so who knows if they bump the price up or not.

I pre-ordered this and Skyfall as the last 2 Blu-ray purchases I will make in 2013. I hope Amazon matches $19.99 before release date.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/22/13

Really looking forward to seeing this. Not happy about having to give a 3D disc a unit sold but I don't feel like waiting for rental. Hopefully the 2D PQ is adequate.
