WTH, if they think they will sell more copies by doing a staggered release, they might be right

3D is dead?

 

[Williz]

3d is terribad anyway.

 

[Jeeebus]

Dude... just let it go.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

it's available for streaming already (legitimately). might just be waiting for the run in theaters to be over so it isn't up for preorders yet.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

3d is awful, it needs to finish dying already

i was actually looking for the 3d bluray of this and didn't see it and was wondering why. i could have sworn that it was shown in 3d in the theaters.

It was shown in 3D. It even has several scenes that were clearly designed for the 3D aspect.

I read somewhere that it will be a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Not sure if Digital 3D is different, but Fandango lists showings in Northridge.

Edit: you mean home media. Dear god why?

It was in 3d. I pre ordered the uk one, it says it's region free

I think 3d is awesome and a nice "option"/choice to have (if one likes it).

I'm not exactly sure why there is so much hate towards it.

I find most 3d movies to be more superior to 2d (but that's just me).

When I was buying my TV (2-3 years back) I went with 3d simply because the option cost me $70-100 bucks (at the time).

Why not? Cost was a none issue and the difference in price was small enough.

Mind you, I wouldn't pay $200-500 for such option.


We don't really watch 3d a lot, but when we do it's really cool. We enjoy it.

The US leads the world in trends, and our current trend is 3D sucks.

Where did you preorder from?

can i use my us amazon prime account for 2 day delivery lol?

I think it came out to $30 US total for the 5-6 day option. And no, the prime shipping wasn't available

 

[brainhulk]

Amazon uk

 

[purbeast0]

Amazon uk

cool thanks. ill probably wait until it's released after reading over on bluray.com. some say that disney is picky with regions, so even though amazon says it is region free there is still a chance it isn't.

3d "trend" has been dead for at least a year or 2

Also how you know if 3d sucks. Do you have a 3D TV? What exactly sucks about it.

How is 2D movie watching superior to 3D?

 

[SKORPI0]

Not an issue for me. My 2011 46" Panasonic 3D HDTV can convert 2D to 3D.

I find "converting" to not be as good as actual 3d.

I hardly ever use that option, but it's cool to have I guess. Sammy's have that option too.

3d sucks so it's not surprising the rest of the world likes it.

 

[Vdubchaos]

3d sucks

How so?

atot and the nerds of the internet hate anything popular, so it makes sense that people on here hate it.

3d just adds another visual element to it. people saying they "hate it" probably have never seen a nicely calibrated 3d movie, or they are one of those people who get headaches or simply can't enjoy it due to being uncomfortable.

that said, there are definitely some movies where 3d just doesn't add anything to the movie that would make it better than the 2d version. one such movie that i've personally seen is world war z. i got the 3d bluray because it was like $16 and after watching it, i would have been just as happy watching it in 2d as 3d.

but then a movie like many animated flicks such as finding nemo or wreck it ralph, the 3d just adds another dimension to it that makes it visually more enjoyable. same with jurassic park in 3d. it adds another element.

definitely not surprised that atot doesn't like it for the most part. most people here don't like anything that is fun or popular.

And I'm actually one of those people. I hate Apple, Facebook or anything "popular" that people flock to.

3d though, I'm cool with it.

Do I use it alot? Not at all. But we do watch Avitar once a year and it is pretty amazing to watch in 3D (probably one of the best 3D movies out there).
