4.0 out of 5 stars This is the HQFS (shutter glasses) 3-D version, May 28, 2006

This review is from: The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D (DVD)

This story is great for children under 10 years old, but for teens and adults, the 3-D is the fun part of this movie, and it's quite fun.

I own the other versions of this movie, too. But, I like this one the best, because the 3-D is sharp and colors are stunning.

Honestly, this is one of those few times when a movie is much better looking on DVD than it was in the theaters.

This movie played in theaters in Anaglyph format (red/cyan 3-D glasses), which distorted the colors and lessened the 3-D effect. I'd give it a bad review in the theaters. The other DVD release of this movie was also Red/Cyan 3-D. But, this particular DVD release is HQFS (High Quality Field Sequential), a MUCH better 3-D format .

You need a 3-D viewing system (like ASIN: B00005QW5S ) to watch it. (LCS shutter glasses, not red/blue glasses.)

One last important note: The description says this DVD is in Full Screen (not Wide Screen). Truth is that it actually is some form of wide screen. It is not as cropped as a real Full Screen disc. If played in full screen mode, characters are slightly thinner than usual. When I put my system in Wide Screen mode, this DVD it looks more correct. There is one viewing wide screen resize mode of my system in which it looks perfect. Normally, I wouldn't buy a DVD unless it is labelled Wide Screen, but this DVD is an exception.

Certainly, if you love 3-D and haven't seen this movie in the theaters, then I'd recommend this DVD. I saw this movie in the theaters (and didn't like it). But, I am much more fond of it on this DVD. I'd give it a 3 for story. but a 4 for 3-D.

This review is from: ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY & LAVAGIRL 3D (Blu-ray)

If you have an active matrix 3d system at home then you will enjoy this 3D film. Also has 2D.

This review is from: The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D (DVD)

This is a fun 3-d film (in 2-D also) for anyone looking for some really good anaglyph fun. It looks great on a large screen and most of the 3-d works just great. I did not expect to like it at all, and I did.
