Later or never probably, since 3D is a flop and higher resolutions are a more likely step forward. But yeah, buy it on DVD/Blu-ray anyway.  I saw this in cinema (so I'm basically a saint, obviously) and it was pretty amazing in 3D, certainly the best use of the technology I've seen.

Got the blu-ray yesterday and here's a little heads-up for every Belgian or Dutch guy that is looking to buy this: The transfer done by EntertainmentOne or Dutch Filmworks is really bad. Most of it (in 2D atleast) is extremely overlit so many details on screen are lost. Just check the comparison between the Dutch and Nordic version: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/7452 http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/7457 http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/7429 Still a good movie but maybe worth checking into to import it from somewhere else...

Has there been any mention on how the blu-ray sales have done? My hope was that they blu-ray sales would be good enough to push the film into getting a sequel.

I just watched it again last night, when they're in the medical bay Dredd points out a certain level as a good place to hit Ma-Ma's guys, but then they're at the apartment where Kay is. How did they decide to go there? Plus Dredd expresses doubt that Kay is Ma-Ma clan, so what prompts them to blow the door open? That's the only plot problem I've run into so far  This movie was remarkably well written.

You must have missed the end of the medical bay scene- the medic points out to them where the clan operate on that level.

If shutter glasses get cheaper or they come out with a polarized monitor so that you could use passive 3D glasses would make it accessible to more than just enthusiasts.

I said come in! posted:Has there been any mention on how the blu-ray sales have done? My hope was that they blu-ray sales would be good enough to push the film into getting a sequel. They've been mentioned as very good - in the first 2 weeks on sale, the movie held the #1 spot in Blu-ray, DVD and VOD sales, and sold a total of 650,000 units in those two weeks. So yeah, a hell of a lot better than the box office, which I think may be due to the good word-of-mouth finally spreading after being given a few months.

I got an 27-inch Asus monitor that has a built in Nvidia 3D Vision transmitter and it came with a pair of Nvidia glasses. It wasn't exactly cheap (at least in Eurozone), but it's quite good.

LG produce a range of television's/Monitor's that use Passive glasses are these not what your referring to? as there relatively inexpensive,perform well and glasses can be obtained for under a quid.

I got myself a passive 3D television earlier this month, largely so I could see Dredd again as it was meant to be seen (as well as other films that made great use of the extra dimension -- How To Train Your Dragon, ParaNorman, Avatar, Prometheus, etc.) Do polarized glasses not hurt your eyes after a while? I would imagine it would become quite bothersome eventually, and the quality of 3D with my passive TV is more than good enough. It's unbelievably gorgeous, actually.

Until they come up with a 3ds style screen with a bigger "sweet spot," home 3d going to be a really tough sell for people who already wear corrective vision glasses. I completely love the effect, but gently caress wearing glasses on top of my glasses.

Welp, just saw this in China and they edited out the most gory seconds here and there. Didn't touch the speech though. The slomo 3d still looked great, but the rest still looked at times blurry or grainy, randomly. Same as when I saw it in the states.

I was catching up on the Irrationally Irritating Moments thread and some folks were complaining about the Slo-Mo scenes being unnecessary and boring. I thought they were gorgeous and I love the fact that they're the ONLY time slow motion is used in the whole movie. In a time when almost every action movie uses slow motion as a way of injecting drama into an otherwise unremarkable scene and sometimes half of a movie is done in slow motion/ speed up (Resident Evil, etc) it's awesome to see everything happen in realtime. I just watched Half in the Bag's latest on Hollywood trends and when Mike was describing the fight scenes with all the slow motion and sound effects I was rolling. It's exactly the kind of thing I am totally sick of. http://vimeo.com/61120378 E: can't get the video to embed for some reason E: hehe, whoops Croisquessein fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Mar 13, 2013 |

Steve Yun posted:Hey, Groundhog Day was a good movie Yeah, I'm not really sure how "Inexplicable time loops" is remotely comparable to slow motion. Slow motion is a stylistic, cinematic effect that has recently been overused quite a bit in action films. "Time loops" are a narative device that has been used maybe a dozen times as method of exploring characters and their stories. It's not like there are films that are normal genre films EXCEPT they overuse time loops during certain scenes... And there are almost no films that use slow motion as a narrative device. Furthermore, every I have enjoyed every inexplicable time loop story I have seen. Daybreak was a particularly well executed example.
