3.0 out of 5 stars 3D Review by a 3D Connoisseur, December 8, 2011

This review is from: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

POST-PRODUCTION 3D (converted from 2D to 3D)

My ratings are based mainly on the QUALITY OF THE 3D, not the video content.

There are about 23 out of screen effects that extend about 10% of the way, from the screen to the viewer but 6 of them are very quick. 2 made it to 15% and 5 more at 25%.

The 3D looked somewhat inconsistent from scene to scene and it lacked the crisp details normally associated with animated 3D. This is partly due to originally being a 2D stop-motion film vs. a computer generated animation like most. The lack of colors and the many dark scenes it includes also hampered the 3D.

Active Glasses Users: I detected 19 instances of crosstalk but realistically only 5 times the ghosting was easily noticeable. (on my system)

MY 3D RATING = GOOD (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent)

Note: As far as the percentages go, everyone's eyes are different. What I see at 25% you may see at 15% or 35%. To fully realize how far something is out of the screen for you, pause on an effect and direct a partner with an extended finger to the tip of what you are seeing. You may be surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful in 3D, August 31, 2011

By 

Jose Luis - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

I love this movie. I have it on Laser Disc, DVD, Blu-Ray and now on Blu-Ray 3D. This version on 3D has a beautiful transfer. It's like being inside the movie with the puppets. the aspect ratio from this 3D version has change from 1:66 to 1:85 to fill the screen.The 3D effects are very subtle since this movie was not shot in 3d originally; but the convertion is very good. If you love this movie and have a 3D capable TV this is a no brainer.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3D as value added feature works, September 4, 2011

This review is from: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

I only had this film on DVD and needed an excuse to upgrade, this combo package gave me the excuse I needed. I am a huge fan of 3D when it is done right, and I recognize converted films don't always look great in 3D, but this one is actually pretty nice. The 3D does work very well by way of adding depth to the film, it's like you're watching through a window, though this feature is more like a value added bonus, it doesn't really add anything to the film itself because the film was not originally intended to be a 3D film. Still it looks good as a nice bonus and you shouldn't shy away from this package, especially if you were turned off by Clash of the Titans, this film makes the case that you can have good 3D conversions.
