Just my opinion here, but while the 3D case is kinda cool with the clear slipcover, it just pales in comparison to that beautiful embossed multicolor steelbook. I really like it and how it goes with the Guardians walkman and the Ant Man HDD steelbook.

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
I really wanted this movie, was anxious for its release, but with price vs. income as they are I opted for the BD+DVD+DHD release @$22.99. Wish they would've had it for $19.99 like they have for most new releases but with Disney behind the wheel I guess that's not going to happen. Greed is what fucked our economy up in the first place, I guess we still haven't learned our lesson. The steelbook looked good but I had to draw a line somewhere.
BTW, we watched it night before last, we both liked it...:thumbsup: |

They put out a crappy transfer and had a $39.99 MSRP compared to the industry average of $29.99. People not buying their product brought the price down. Is this a case of studio pricing or did the retailers not discount so much because they knew it would sell anyway? |
Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
We watched the 3D version tonight and it was awesome. Easily one of the best live action 3D transfers I've seen.

I know that Amazon has had a feud going with Disney over their pricing for a little while now. They specifically held out offering Doctor Strange for pre-order in hopes of squeezing a better price from Disney, but in the end they sold it for the same $22.99 everyone else was selling it for. Disney is just plain greedy. |

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
They were OK, worth checking out once. The only pain was there were none on the 3D disc, so I had to pop in the 2D version.

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
This again suffers from too much darkness in the image. The 3D is great but the image is too dark...
|
Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
No it isn't, it looks great. Just finished watching most of it and I think the 3D looks fantastic. Great depth in many places. Well utilized.

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
I'm sorry, I wish it weren't so. I know this is blasphemous, but switched to 2D. Much better colors and brighter. Oh well.

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
May be settings on our TV. The 3D is one of the best, and it is bright and robust. And there hasn't been a review yet stating it's a dark picture.
|
Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
Yeah, we didn't have any darkness issues either. The very beginning was a tad dark, but that only lasted a few minutes.

Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
Are you reading the 3D review? Where does it say it's darker? And for comparison's sake - EVERY 3D picture will not be as "punchy" as 2D, due to the 3D filter.

The only real drawback is that colors are a little less punchy and nuanced. An already dark film is a bit more dim in 3D; even brighter locations, like the hospital when a bloodied Strange is rolled in after his accident, doesn't enjoy the same intensity as the standard Blu-ray has to offer. Still, color holds solid enough; oranges still dazzle and the abundantly colorful dimensions are still nicely saturated; they're all just a step or two down from the general release and represent the only real drawback on offer. Black levels are appropriately deep and detailed and skin tones appear neutral, if not, again, a hair less full. |
Re: Doctor Strange -- 2/28/17
director Scott Derrickson did say he did a UHD color pass of the movie - I am very curious how that will look compared to the 2D bluray. (Come on Disney... [Michael Jackson voice: "make that change"])
