| | Customer Reviews: Love this movie! (09 January 2009)I loved this movie so much! I only wish it had more dinosaurs throughout the movie instead of just 2 times. Love the movie so much that I watched it 2 times in 2 days, and plan to watch it over and over. Great story plot and keeps you watching throughout the whole movie. Highly recommend!!! Good Movie (09 January 2009)This comes with the 3-d glasses but i liked to watch it normally for the 3-d color was off to me. Stereoscopy for this movie not up to professional standards (27 December 2008)I saw this film in 3D in San Francisco. It was outstanding. There was excellent technical direction, as well as an interesting story. The film has the usual stereoscopic gags with things popping into your eyes which I object to. With 3D coming into increased use, perhaps Directors will get a clue it plays to the VFX, not the story. As a slight digression, the best stereoscopic movie out there is "The Nightmare Before Christmas" - this is a conversion of a formerly 2D movie; the 3D conversion enhanced the film. Anaglyph video, as well as anaglyph comics, have been around at least since the 1950's. Whoever did this conversion to a nonstandard choice of green/magenta versus the usual red/cyan does not make sense to me, considering the body of technical knowledge, skill available for such a conversion using red/cyan. Perhaps it is an attempt to deploy rights management, but the glasses are available separately. I observed many alignment problems with JTTCOTE. Some shots with vertical misalignment in the original were not fixed in post. There is a particular scene in the guide's house sitting around a coffee table: it was as if the two cameras had slightly different magnification. The 2D conversion of the movie was well done, but not excellent. I have viewed several BD videos by now, and I expect a certain amount of care in the conversion. It is my opinion that the technical deployment of the stereoscopic portion of this BLU-RAY release of JTTCOTE was a hack job, poorly thought out, poorly done. Considering how well the stereoscopic version in the theatrical release was so well done (albeit some minor alignment problems), that it should be so poorly deployed on the DVD release. I saw the discussion of this film at NAB in Las Vegas 2008. The Director and his colleagues put such effort and care in the technical deployment of this film, only to have it so poorly rendered in this DVD release has done the work a considerable disservice. If you are purchasing this release with the goal of viewing this in stereoscopic 3D in your home, it is my strong opinion that you will be very disappointed. Good Movie, 3-D is just OK (24 December 2008)This remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth is a pretty good version. No stellar performances, special effects are good. The blu-ray is crisp and clean. The adaptation of 3-D for blu-ray has a few issues though. It uses an unusual combination of red and green lenses, and the green will often get too dark and you'll find yourself adjusting the glasses to try and get a better view. I'm not sure if the glasses are what cause the movie to become so devoid of color, but it almost appears to be a black and white film in 3-D. Though entertaining, some of the 3-D tricks are the oldest in the book, and you almost feel like you've been there - done that. You WILL appreciate the ability to choose between the 3-D and the standard versions of the film. Obviously the comparison between this version of Journey to the Center of the Earth and it's original counterpart is going to be like comparing apples and oranges. The technology has progressed so much for this latest version. You won't need to use your imagination so much now. I think the newer version of the movie is worth seeing, and definitely does NOT fall under the category of unnecessary remakes. Overrated movie. (23 December 2008)You will like the movie, in my opinion, if you watch movies for the special effects and not the plot. Plot is severely lacking. It appears that the production company counted on the special effects in 3D to sell this movie when the approved the script for production. |
