Thanks to this group for putting me onto Turbine Collector Series 3D blurays

They have some great conversions that aren’t readily availble in the UK so to find that there are other countries like Japan and… Germany? That still show 3D some love is fantastic!

Avatar Fire and Ash

It was overpriced but I'm glad to have it in 3d.

Point Break 3d

Couldn’t pass this up for 5 bucks at the thrift store. I read terrible reviews but is the 3d at least decent?

Edit: it’s not a must watch for me so I figure I ask first before getting to it eventually

Starting over again

Hi guys. After many years of raising the kids I recently built and converted a cabin in my back garden. I’m basically using all my old hifi/cinema gear and upgrading it bit by bit over time. I’m using an optoma hd projector and loving it all over again. But I’m so out of touch with with 3D bluray/4K.

  1. are movies region free or what are they nowadays?
  2. are movies still available and still being manufactured ?
  3. best sites to buy them?

I’m living in Ireland btw.

Thanks.

found a samsung 3d tv at a flea market

sorry if this is the wrong place, i figured everyone here might enjoy this post. i found this samsung tv from 2014 (model UN55F7100) at a flea market today for 70$. after researching a little, it looks like this tv was around 2600$ when it was first released. Waiting for the glasses to be delivered so i can watch blu ray 3d movies with my wife! i have the odyssey 3d monitor as well so it'll be cool to see the difference. i've been looking for a 3d tv for years and years

Where’s the best place for the Marvel 3D import?

I’ve gotten back into my 3D movies thanks to the quest 3. But Jesus marvel phase 4, 5 and 6 are so expensive to get from Amazon and eBay. Any one able to help out and tell me a cheaper place?

Good media player for 3D MKV (MK3D files)?

I have a few movies in the form of digital MK3D files. Once upon a time I could play them from my PC to my TV in MPC with some plugins, but since Nvidia did away with 3D support, I don't think that's possible anymore without using older drivers that would cause issues on newer games etc.

I have (and haven't used for some time) a Dune HD media player, which did support and play them great. At some point nearly everything I played off it had audio sync issues and I gave it up after updating the firmware a few more times with no improvements (not just 3D or even HD stuff). I'm basically looking for something like that when it worked well.

Dune's new players no longer support 3D at all. I need to play to a standard 3D TV and want the full 3D signal (using a 4k 3D passive set, so each eye gets full 1080).

Is there any player, even something I could find used at a decent price and still works, or what do you suggest currently?

I primarily use these for movies with issues with forced subtitles. I imagine most know, but forced subs are ones that appear even when subs are off. Think something like an English movie and someone speaks in Russian, or an alien is speaking their language. Like the subs under Jabba the Hutt.

Some movies only got 3D Blu-rays in other countries where English isn't the primary language. Despite including the English audio track, many don't include forced subs for English. You can watch it fully subtitled in English, or miss the intentional subs altogether.

In this cases I've gotten both the imported 3D version and the US (or UK) 2D version, and combined them so the subs from the 2D version are on the 3D version. I'm not even sure how I'd make that into a 3D iso to burn to a disc, only an MK3D which is a lossless conversion, and that's complicated enough haha.

TLDR; what media device can I find afforable-ish that can play MK3D files in 3D over HDMI?

Creature from the black lagoon 3D issue

It’s not actually displaying anything in 3D it’s completely flat. I chose the 3d version and my glasses are working. But no 3D effect is present. I also don’t see any double imaging (as pictured) is there anyone who has encountered this issue? 3D works in the kill zone 3D I have downloaded. I’m using a ps3 pstv and Sony tdg br250

Local pick-ups from Dollar General. They needed to scan my ID for these. Hope they’re worth it!

Dollar General needed to scan my ID to let me purchase PG-13 movies. Bit ridiculous, but they were also only $5 each.

EDIT: I reached out to Dollar General's online customer support: The reason DG needs ID for PG-13 movies is because their system isn't equipped to require ID based on the UPC or title, so Dollar General checks ID for all movies regardless of rating.

The following is an assumption because I haven't asked for clarification, but I believe that means adults still get carded even for movies rated G, and kids can't buy movies at all because all movies are treated as adults only. All in the name of preventing kids from buying R-rated movies. Isn't that just swell?

The Martian my quick review

Great add to my collection.

Movie: A great movie from the acting to CG to the story and science behind it all.

3D: This holds up as a solid 3D viewing. A majority of the movie had good depth. Some scenes were obviously better than others. Did the 3D add to the movie? Yes, there were times where watching in 3D helped the experience more than just being cool. Panning out on the Mars landscape really gives the feeling of loneliness and the 3D in space helps show the lack of gravity and spatial distance.

Overall: great buy

I can’t believe the asking prices for this. And to think I found this at a random record store in so-cal for about $15

How to Train Your 3D Dragon

I had never seen this movie until yesterday and I was immediately impressed with the super immersive and deep 3D presentation so much I had to rewatch it today. The story and score are excellent so it’s really a great demo disc for friends.

Goodbye to Language in 3D on a projector

Does anyone know if there are ways that one could watch Goodbye to Language in 3D without a 3D blu-ray or projector (for instance, I have access to a relatively powerful projector but am unsure how a 3D copy of the blu-ray might look with that). Or perhaps have there been any versions of the film produced that utilize a cruder blue-red type of 3D.

I will be watching this on a lecture hall projector.

If it's just a lost cause, 2D will do.

Mortal Engines my quick review

My first watch, quick review:

Movie: it was ok. Some of the actors were decent, others not so much. The plot was missing something. I’m not sure what, but I felt like it was basic or missing something.

3D: no pop out (this is rare). Not much depth either. A majority of the movie I didn’t feel like I was watching a 3D movie. There’s a moment here or there with depth, but in general there wasn’t much there at all. I actually had to make sure I had the 3D version in.

Summary: Don’t buy. This is the worst 3D I’ve ever watched. I was disappointed as I was looking forward to this one.

I am a long time fan of IMAX and IMAX 3D. I recently have done my fair share of Dolby vs IMAX comparisons, e.g. with the re-release of Avatar 2 and of course Avatar 3. Although I enjoyed both formats (also 4DX 3D, btw, ScreenX less so)

However in my country there is no IMAX (2D nor 3D) release of this concert registration (a mix of shows in Phoenix, AZ and Manchester UK.)

I am certainly not the world's most die hard admirer of Billie Eilish, but what she created together with James Cameron is quite a feast for the eyes and ears. It sets new standards for image quality, sound and immersiveness. It was a big party in the cinema (Pathe De Kuip, Rotterdam, Netherlands). Fortunately this theater is one with super comfy seats and plenty of space between the rows of chairs, because fans got from their seats and started dancing together at the front of the hall, close to the screen, mimicking the togetherness and intimacy of the Eilish concert on screen. It was really a quite something to see.

Cameron reportedly used 17 3D cameras, including a highly portable one held by Eilish during several songs. This flexibility and portability is not something that can be achieved yet with native IMAX cameras, so I sort of get Cameron's recent love and aim for a Dolby Cinema release.

Even though I only really knew less than half of the songs, I was really taken away and even wiped away a tear at times. The songs, the fan reactions, the mix with interviews and backstage footage, it really captured me.

For the aspect ratio nerds here: this Rotterdam Dolby has a ~1:2.35 screen (by comparison: the one in Scheveningen is closer to more vertical 1:1.78). The movie was projected here in 16:9, so with black bars on the sides. I think that is a good idea, so we got to see all the vertical information (another comparison: Avatar 2 was shown here in the scope 1:2.35 ratio, which made me prefer Scheveningen for watching Avatar 3 in Dolby Cinema.

While Cameron is of course mostly known for his cinematic work and thus cinematic look, here the look is more realistic, natural and sharp. Visually it feels closer to a documentary than a movie. However it is a very immersive, engaging and touching one. The image quality is absolutely top notch. I am already looking forward to the 3D Bluray home release, something only Cameron can seem to enforce these days.
