i tried the 3D on both the projector and the plasma ..

it sucked.


in the theatres an advanced technology was used that apparently made for the best 3D ever.

unfortunately our homes cannot accomodate this so its back to the shitty red/green dvd that is blurry and washes out the colour.


dont fret, i bought it too ... just keep the tylonol handy.



and - as with most 3d movies - it's made for the effects - not the story - but thats to be expected.

The guy at the store mentioned that conventional red/blue glasses wont work with this one, only magenta/green would. He didnt have one, and I couldnt get a pair of those from any other nearby shops.

Either way, 3D isnt a reality for home viewing yet I suppose.

Washed out colors or not, it would be cool to see a rock hurling out of the TV screen right at my head. If the glasses show me even that, I d be happy.

the very best 3d is the very first effect you see .. with a trilobyte... it's in front of a dark background so there isnt much blurring.

unfortunately - it's realy downhill after that

Hmm...if anything, I ll get a kick out of it. Thanks for the heads up.

no prob .. i think it was important to have a proper expectation.
i was all set for the best 3d experience of my life and i was very pissed off.


go in knowing it sucks and you'll probably enjoy it more than i did

Wait- they sell you a 3-d movie that needs glasses, and the glasses don't come with it?

no - there's 4 pairs of the red green glasses included

(they suck - 1 size fits all - too small for an adult)

They have included the normal red/green ones with the pack.

Magenta/green is very tough to track down...some people get em made on special orders. (I heard cyan works too...but have yet to see it)

Unfortunately, our TVs dont support dual projection system that they do in the theaters - using 2 projectors in earlier times, and digitally doubling in today's theaters. This results in washed out colors and foggy distortions when you try to watch a 3D movie on TV wearing red/green or red/blue glasses, especially if the scenes are shot on brighter backgrounds.
