My molecule scrambler ray will disintegrate your armor with one blow!

I think in this case you could make a pretty good case that 3D barely helped the original.

I'd actually say that the 3D severely hurt the movie. Don't forget that at its release, the few ads/commercials that existed called it "DR3DD". This was during that peak of low budget shovel crap with the word "3D" tacked on as their only gimmick, so my only reaction to the ads that I saw about it were "Ha, gently caress that trash"...

How wrong I was to pass up my only chance to see it on the big screen :smith:

And to be clear, my problem was with the advertising and the rest of the crowd that the 3d stigma threw it into. As an aside, I'm a fan of 3d as long as it was either shot or rendered in 3d originally, but I can't stand the 2d->3d post cardboard cutout cash-ins

Honestly Netflix has been really crap with its encoding of HD content lately (REALLY noticeable on Planet Earth) - with a movie like this, you're much better off either renting or buying the Blu Ray to get it in full quality
