5.0 out of 5 stars Best 3-D Blu-ray movie!!!, October 29, 2008

This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

When I saw this at the theater, I thought it was the best 3-D movie that I have ever seen. If you like amusement parks, this is the movie for you. It's good clean family fun! I was expecting it to be at least as good as Hannah Montana-Best of both worlds 3-D DVD but it blows that movie away. You use Red/Blue Anaglyph glasses for Hannah Montana but for Journey to the Center of the Earth you use Magenta/Green. WOW!!! What a difference on this movie. I tried using the red/blue glasses but they didn't work. I would say the 3-D effects (not talking about color) is as good as it can get without the huge screen. The things that are suppose to pop out at you really do. You can't expect the colors to be great because you are only using two color glasses so the colors won't be as good as the theater...but you don't notice it as much during darker scenes (when they are inside the earth) which is most of the movie. The surround sound was very good even though it does not have the TrueHD audio format...the rear speakers were very engaging. I will say that not everyone does well with 3-D some people get headaches but do those same people get headaches on amusement parks rides...if so this might not be good for you. For me, I love rides if it doesn't spin me around so for this DVD I highly recommend it on blu-ray.

*UPDATE* I now own a Samsung UN46C8000 3D HDTV and Samsung BD-C7900 3D blu-ray player and active shutter glasses...I can't wait until they come out with Journey to the Center of the Earth in real 3D blu-ray because the difference is beyond incredible. Now, I see full color and the clarity is amazing!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Blu ray release, February 25, 2009

Amidst an ever increasing number of mediocre and lackluster Bluray releases it is nice to find one that lives up to the potential of the format and is worth paying the ridiculously elevated prices that Bluray currently commands. The movie itself is decent but the Bluray presentation is exceptional. Coming with a generous 4 pairs of glasses (and for those of you whining about only 4 pairs, please consider that 2 pairs have been the previous standard on 3D home releases) the 3D transfer is amazing with lots of dimensionality. This IS anaglyphic 3D but it is not the usual red and blue lenses. These glasses are a much lighter pink and green and eye strain typical of anaglyphic 3D is greatly reduced. Images fly off the screen and the film takes on a beautiful psychadelic color pallet unlike anything I have seen before. The 2D transfer also included on this disc is prestine with no film dirt or blemishes of any sort. The high def photography practically flys off the screen in the 2D version. The 5.1 audio mix is exceptional with plenty of surround effects for your rear speakers. Also included on the disc is an informative and entertaining commentary track from Bendan Fraser and director Eric Brevig. Three brief documentaries round out the disc that comes packaged in a 3D holographic cover. This is one Bluray release that really delivers and does not feel like an over priced rip off.

I really thought it would be awesome to watch a movie in 3d AND HD...but unfortunately they havent come up with a way to provide a 3d experience at home without discoloration of the characters. Due to the glasses everything in the picture has a green tint. it kind of defeats the purpose of HD. all that aside, the movie is pretty good! I havent yet watched the 2d version, so i really cant review that aspect of the disc, but there are some neat 3d effects despite the green people.
