Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

saw it in the theater and neither the movie nor the 3D did anything for me.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

I don't own many 3D discs but I was impressed with The Christmas Carol. It had some good effects; the movie wasn't too bad either.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

The live action shots were converted from 2D, but all of the CGI was natively rendered in 3D.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

That's very odd. For most people, it's exactly the opposite. Active 3D is much more likely to cause headaches than passive.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Or not...it's my favorite Ang Lee film.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Yep, that's what I've read, and I do find it odd. Another reason why I don't pay to go see 3D for the most part. However, watching The Hobbit in 48fps was actually a very different experience for me. Didn't leave the theater with a splitting headache at all. I'm guessing that framerate helps with that.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

'Gravity' is also a post convert - and it's stunning. The eventual bluray release should look amazing on home theater systems.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Step Up 3D is another good one- I have Step Up Revolution also but haven't had time to watch it yet.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

+1 (guilty pleasure of mine) - for once the director of a live action 3D film, filmed it as such, and knew what the hell he was doing.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

One of my favorites is The Final Destination. There're some great in-your-face moments, but it also has a very nice sense of depth. Watch it with the surround setup at full throttle--it's a total blast.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

One that hasn't been mentioned that I though was well worth it is The Great Gatsby. I love the look of that movie especially in 3D. Titanic is also another good one. Of course the Pixar movies: Monsters Inc, the Toy Story's, and Up. I saw others mention Tron Legacy which is good and then Hugo, Avatar, and Life of Pi are my 3 favorites in 3D. Unlike most I love 3D especially when done right and I hope it stays around forever. Hopefully this helps.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Definitely Hugo, How To Train Your Dragon, Coraline, and Dredd.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

I see a lot of love for Hugo and, although it has very strong 3D, it also serves as a stress test for a 3D TV in terms of crosstalk. Depending on how prone to crosstalk your set might be, Hugo might prove to be quite frustrating rather than demo worthy.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Interesting, I've never had a ghosting issue with Hugo.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

it does, as do all the suggestions. thanks!

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

i just couldn't get into the movie. saw it 1.5 times and it just did nothing. the theater 3D didn't do anything either, unfortunately.

How to Train Your Dragon is interesting. i simply adore the movie, but hesitate to upgrade simply because i already own it and trying not to double dip and possibly triple dip (from DVD), but it is a very strong possibility.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

is Up simply gorgeous in 3D and work well?

i have the Blu and i know that transfer is stunning. love the movie and would def. upgrade this one...

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

The best ones I have are:

House of Wax (This is an essential for any 3D collection.)
Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away
Hugo
Pina

Guilty pleasures:
Step Up: Revolution. Cheesy story but 3D is lots of fun.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

3 more to the proverbial pile...

excited!

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

is House of Wax 3D really that good? i mean considering this was the traditional blue/red glasses right?

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

If you don't have it already, Step Up 3D is the best example of how to shoot in 3D. There were some votes for Step Up: Revolution but that pales in comparison.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Not at all. The red/blue glasses were an attempt to recreate 3D on traditional TV's before we had 3D TV's. It was never used as a theatrical format. House of Wax was a true 3D movie & is FINALLY available on home video that way for the first time in 60 years. So that's why people are kind of excited about it. Still, don't go in with unrealistic expectations. It's still an early 50's movie in 4x3 format with lots of grain. But very cool to see.

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

^ got it. it was a freaky movie when i saw it. look forward to it in this format...

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

just got...

heard certain scenes are phenomenal and i love the movie!

Re: Which 3D Blu-rays are "worth" it?
 

Tangled is another good one. And you asked about Up, that's great as well. Every 3D Pixar title is pretty much a good one. I can't wait until they get to The Incredibles, if they haven't converted it already.
