so what i mean by that is which 3D movies make the most use of the format...

i am upgrading my living room with a Sony 3D TV and Sony 3D Blu-ray player. just bottom of the market models. nothing special...

the only one i currently have is The Wizard of Oz.

so which ones are truly "worth" it and are great for the 3D effects and all that comes with it?

You can probably find some recommendations in this thread:

I've heard good things about the 3D on Drive Angry, while I haven't tested it myself.

Drive Angry is pretty good. I also like Prometheus, Dredd, Disney's A Christmas Carol, Hugo, and The Adventures of Tin-Tin. These are the reference ones for me.

Drive Angry is like a guilty pleasure of mine bc Amber Heard is hot.

OZ the Great and Powerful looks great in 3D. So do the conversions of Jurassic Park and Star Trek Into Darkness.

Avatar, House of Wax (a MUST!), Dial M For Murder, Piranha, Real Porn Stars of Chatsworth (if you can find it, already out of print for some reason), Glee 3D Concert Movie

Creature from the Black Lagoon

Tron

Avatar
Hugo
Life of Pi
How to Train Your Dragon

and you'll probably want to prebook Gravity when it's available for such.

man, i got a lot to get...

Funny, but I've now leaned towards more paying a little more every time there's a 3D option. I have zero interest in watching just about everything in 3D at the theater, but I do enjoy watching them at home.

now, is the home experience in terms of the 3D effect similar to that of the theater?

i know, for me, Avatar was the only 3D movie that wowed me or did something for me in terms of 3D.

is this grand experience simulated @ home as well for this particular movie (regardless if you liked the movie or not)?

A couple of reasons why I prefer 3D at home - one is that I HATE the upcharge at a theater just to see 3D. That's bullshit. Another reason for me is that I have an active 3D TV. For some reason, I don't get headaches like I do with passive. I actually had a passive, but sold it because of this. I have a 7.2 system in my mancave along with a 70" TV. So while not replicating the theater, I prefer my setup as feeling more intimate, yet loud and immersive. As for the movies, a lot seem gimmicky (Avengers movies aren't that great - Thor, Captain America, etc), I get good to great enjoyment out of what I've bought so far in terms of 3D we well as achieving that almost movie theater feel and effect. I can't replicate IMAX 3D, but then again I'm not really looking to. And my daughter loves the hell out of it.

^ that's cool. i think my new TV is passive 3D, but not sure. oh well.

If you have to charge your glasses, then it's active. If you can use those glasses that they use at the theater, then it's passive.

it's passive.

Hansel and Gretel 3D. I thought the 3d was just as good at home as in the theater. It is not so much 'in your face' as an immersion feel throughout the film, which I really enjoyed.

Coraline
Born to be Wild

welp, i bit. thanks to you guys these are my first 5 (besides aforementioned TWoO). keep suggestions coming...





also, looking forward to Monster's University. saw the blu-ray.com review and it seems to really use the technology well

Any/every 3D Pixar will be pretty much have a solid 3D presentation. Enjoy those! I need to pick up House of Wax very soon.

^ thanks tres.

anyone view The Wizard of Oz in 3D? wondering how that presentation is...

Prepare to be bored stiff by Life of Pi.

i enjoyed Life of Pi very much and look forward to experiencing it in 3D, but thanks for your contribution.

People seem to be impressed by the 3D version of Pacific Rim even though it is a postconversion:
