4.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the first too reviews, January 15, 2012

Bmar - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Two-Disc Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray Combo) (Blu-ray)

The movie itself is great!...just an FYI the first two reviews state its the old school blue & red glasses and its clearly not. This is a 3d blu ray release for active or passive 3d tv's not the old school 3d, you can clearly see that in the pictures the back of the case shows you need a 3d tv, 3d blu ray or ps3 player, and 3d glasses.

This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Two-Disc Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray Combo) (Blu-ray)

First some back-information on the releases..

Journey to the Center of the Earth has been released in at least 3 different Blu-Ray versions now:
Blu-Ray 2D (with 3D anaglyph (green/magenta glasses) + DVD + Digital Copy
Blu-Ray 2D + DVD + Digital Copy
Blu-Ray 3D + Blu-Ray 2D

The original Blu-Ray 2D w/ Anaglyph 3D wasn't so great, mainly because the required green/magenta glasses which made the video look terrible (it also showed much more ghosting and the 3D was nice but hard to watch an entire movie). This release was later replaced with a 2D only release.

The 2012 release is a REAL Blu-Ray 3D release (requires a 3DTV). The release is a single-disc with both Blu-Ray 2D and 3D versions on it (there is no Anaglyph version on here, so you will need a 3DTV to view it in 3D). It's also worth noting that there is no longer a DVD or Digital Copy included (There was, however, 8-dollars movie money for the 2nd movie coming out in early 2012).
The 3D Blu-Ray release includes a lenticular cover.

MOVIE - I found the movie to be fun. Not a great movie by any means, but works nice as a "turn your brain off and just enjoy it without thinking too much about it" way. Nothing terribly memorable, but also more watchable than most of these movies (and I think a bit of that comes from the 3D - I originally watched it in 2D, but enjoyed it much more in 3D). At 92 minutes, it also doesn't drag on like some movies.

AUDIO - This is an improvement over the original Blu-Ray releases which only had Dolby Digital 5.1 -- the 3D Blu-Ray now has DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 -- audio was very nice, didn't notice any issues with it.

VIDEO - Video was also good - the colors seemed a bit odd at times, but still very watchable. An above average transfer.

3D - Here's where the movie really shines. The Movie was filmed in 3D and combines live action and CGI elements very well. Lots of depth, lots of popout (a lot of gimmick popouts also, which I enjoy). I didn't notice ghosting/crosstalk during it (Panasonic DT30 LED TV with shutter glasses), something that is obvious during some movies. Depth seemed very natural and showed good separation.. sharpness was also very good. It was very obviously 3D the entire time, unlike some movies which seem as though 70% of them could easily be in 2D (and quite a few newer releases are just converted to 3D (this one was shot in 3D)). I'd rate it near the high end of 3D releases currently available.

Extras - Extras are sort of thin (same as the original release) - biggest being the commentary. The 3D release also includes a lenticular slipcover.

Overall - Not a great movie, but a fun movie. If you've seen it before and liked it, you'll like it much more in 'real 3D'. I owned the prior release (2D+Anaglyph+DVD+Digital Copy) and was still very happy with this new release. Recommended!

This review is from: New Line Mc-journey To The Center Of The Earth 3d [blu-ray/2008/movie Cash] (Blu-ray)

This is the rare, out of print Blu Ray FIRST PRINTING of Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D Blu Ray. It has a HOLOGRAPHIC SLIPCOVER and contains MULTIPLE PAIRS of old-school 3D red/blue glasses. This was only available with first printings of the Blu Ray, mainly at Best Buy. Great collectible!

Fun movie for the whole family!
