i love 3D so much i have 139 3D movies. I have the 3020 Epson 3D projector & 135'' Elite screen. I upgraded my room to a darker black wall panels and ceiling making the room 100% darker. Covering the windows too making 3D flying around the room plus i had to buy a new HDMI 3D cable. A darker room makes the effects work 100% better. i enjoy my 3D forever.
I can recommend a quest 3 for 3D watched 4K avatar 1,2 and Jurassic park in 3D and never had such a good 3D experience (also have a Sony 3D projector).
I just play the Blu-ray 3D on my PC and watch on my Oculus Quest 3. It’s literally the only reason I started watching 3D movies lol. I had a 3D TV once and glasses and I returned it like 15 years ago. VR is a game changer.
i was trying to watch a 3d blu-ray when i useing my moniter as a tv i was trying to watch tansformers 5 3d bluray disc and for some reason it didnt work it gave me like a blue screen that said it can not play
@@Judyhopps-1iqTo play 3D in your case, the player must read 3D Blu-ray and the monitor must be compatible with 3D, in addition to the glasses. These are the 3 combinations
Good stuff! I agree with most of what you have described with one exception. “A Christmas Carol” had a dark transfer. Totally terrifying right up there with the exorcist. What the hell was Disney thinking. The CGI unsettling. Good 3D though. Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work.
Interesting choices. Maybe not the absolute best choices to show what 3D can do but still a good list :) The majority of MCU movies have good to great 3D, Guardians & Strange are both excellent but Thor Ragnarok and Captain Marvel are the standouts. All 3D Transformers movie are excellent. Creature is a nice addition for historical context and some people only like native 3D. You're probably in the minority for Tron 2 coz the 3D is mostly weak and the grid 3D you are seeing is mostly 2D drawn 3D. I see great recommendations below as well, I have almost all of them. Finally, the bigger the screen, the better the resulting 3D picture. Not so much for pop-outs, but for depth and scale.
Awesome choices! Some of my personal picks made it on here, mine would be • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 • Avatar • Edge of Tomorrow • Gravity • Life of Pi • Pacific Rim • SpongeBob Movie Sponge out of Water • Star Trek into Darkness • The force awakens • Transformers TLK • TMNT 2014
Just in terms of 3D and disregarding quality or the lack thereof, these make most modern 3D outings look a bit flat: The Bubble Flesh for Frankenstein It Came from Outer Space The Maze House of Wax The Mad Magician Man in the Dark Inferno Kiss Me Kate Taza, Son of Cochise Comin' at Ya (you can feel your eye muscles trying to cope with the huge stereo separation) Happy viewing. Almost forgot, Thomas Jane's Dark Country is pretty good too, if you can find a copy.
Great list. I don't have that many 3D movies, but one of my favs has to be 'Need For Speed.' It wasn't filmed in 3D but it may as well have been. The conversion is GREAT. One for showing off the format.
If you want over-the-top 3D, check out “Comin’ At Ya”. It’s gratuitous and often far too intense but sometimes I need a little bit of a reminder of how effective 3D can be.
I would definitely add Drive Angry, Edge of Tomorrow, and Pacific Rim, but I know there are too many out there to have a short list! Good picks overall. I still haven't gotten Transformers TLK because of all of the negativity. I may give that another thought after hearing your comments.
I have edge of tomorrow and pacific rim and those both have great 3D. Still haven't seen Drive Angry. Transformers TLK is good if you go into knowing that it's cheesy and doesn't take itself seriously. It's your typical blockbuster popcorn flick with tons of action and laughs, with some of the best 3D out there 👍
Great video! Nice picks also! But would add; Jurrasic park, mad max, force awakens, infinity war (good bitrate), wizard of oz, the croods 1, hobbit films, titanic, kong skull island, aquaman, beauty and the beast animated, pacific rim, journey 2, war of the planet of the apes, madagascar 3, dredd, micro monsters david attenb doc, edge of tomorrow, mojin
Thanks alot! I have all the ones you mentioned and I agree with most of them except for Aquaman. Didn't care for it that much. But that could also be because I originally saw it in IMAX 3D so now when I watch it on 3D Blu ray I feel like alot of the picture is being cropped out. Also didn't care for the movie that much. 🤷♂️ Really looking forward to Black Adam though 😁
Great list. I'll have to pick up Star Trek: Into Darkness eventually. I actually just watched A Christmas Carol 3D the other day and it was stellar. If I had to add a couple more films to the list, it would probably be Kung Fu Panda 3D and IMAX: Hubble 3D.
So spiderman in 3D is really bad looking on my passive 3D LG TV and my SpatialLabs 3D laptop. But on the Coolpad Daguan 3 Plus 3D phone it looks really good so its definitely deserving of its mixed bag reputation as some 3D displays barely show its 3D effects
Meta Quest 3 is a game-changer and has re-invigorated the used market for 3D Blurays. Initially a pricey pain in the butt to set up (MakeMKV & 4XVR player are required and cost €90, plus you need a PC with Bluray drive), but once set up be prepared for the ultimate way to watch 3D movies!
Love these choices!! Star trek is so good as a conversion. Do you ever mux in the atmos into your 3D releases? I have made hybrid versions this way before (especially since so many now come with 4K atmos + 3D 5.1) and it is glorious. Cheers!
Great list. I would add some and remove others, but in the end it is a very good list. What amazes me is that no one has recommended what I consider to be one of the best 3D Blu Rays, "Titanic" Come on, if I hadn't seen it, I would have believed it. The 3D in that movie (non-native) is excellent.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 makes my top 10 as well. Interesting that a lot of 3d fans have colllections of around 300 bluray 3d discs. I would endorse getting a 3d projector in preference to a 3d TV. One example is ‘Life of Pi’, it is awful on TV butstunning when projected. I would like to hear from anyone who has the laser projector 6000 ES from Sony as the 3d should be amazing due to it’s bright light output, but I have yet to see a review of it in 3d mode.
The Sony Xw6000 works extremely well for 3D however be aware that for the Xw series Sony changed their polarization from 0 to 90 degrees so get glasses that are 90 (hi-shock sells them) i run an 18 foot diagonal hi gain screen and 3 d looks amazing
Glad to finally hear someone else say they didn't like the Bumblebee movie. It's for younger audiences with G1 designs. Yes Spiderman 3 was also the worst of the spiderman movies.
I’ve around 300 also But I’m gonna try take an stab at the 10 noteworthy ones I’d suggest to someone The walk A very Harold and kumar 3D Christmas The Hole Turbo Doctor strange Journey 2 the mysterious island In the heart of the sea Polar express Fright night Black panther
I have a SONY Bravia 3D TV and an ultra short laser projector. Both are great. But lately I've bought Royole Moon. The 3D image is incredible within this device. You may wish to take a look.
I was always curious about that device. I have a PSVR set which is what inspired me to get the Cinera headset. I almost bought the Royole Moon before choosing Cinera. I may look into it still :)
Apparently you dont understand the change in aspect ratio changes in your Transformers pick. When the ratio changes so the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are more slender (think of the black bars as the top and bottom of the wall in the theater) those are the parts shot exclusively for Imax theaters. Tron Legacy same thing there too. In fact Imax 3D is the intended format it was made for. In a Imax theater it appears you are watching a normal 2D standardized ratioed movie until the film switches to the computer world. And bam, in comes the strong 3D and the Imax screen fills completely with the stereoscopic image. They did something simular to the newer Wizard Of Oz movie as well but for regual theater. There, the beging of the film, we go from an old school small, square aspect ratio, a sepia tinted image with mono sound to a wide screen, full color, stereoscopic image with surround sound. As for Creature giving your eyes some strain thier is a reason for this - before being pressed on the Blu Ray format some idot thought it would be better to alter the left/right images (the paralax or convergance of the stereoscopic image) so there would be more pop out. In its original and re-releases (of which I have seen quite a few) the image is very deep with minimal theater space effects. Remember, in the 1950s the custom built 3D cameras just couldnt do the tighter close ups needed to pop stuff in your laps. Remember 3D image is scalable, meaning the bigger and brighter you can get the image the better it looks. In House Of Wax (1953) there is a scene where Charles Bronson appears to literally crawl up from the theater seats in front of you. This is heavily minimized by the size of the screen you watch it on. It may suprise you to learn that most home projectors sold are capable of handling the Blu Ray 3D image you just need to buy some active shutter glasses which allows you to view the entire 1040p (passive halves the resolution). Dont worry those 100.00 a pop glasses now can be bought usually at 4 for 50.00 or less. Make sure that the pair you buy has a button on them that allows you to switch or swap the stereo images so they are viewed correctly. For the best out of frame 3D effects try the end credits for Minions. Some modern 3D movies did this where the aspect ratio would change, but you wouldnt notice it due the black bars. Unfortunately, not all those films kept these out of the frame effects for the 3D home release. Not sure why.
In Life of Pi, in the scene with the fish flying in the sea, there is a mix of black bars with the fish flying out of the strip, does this refer to this?

The Christmas Carol with George C Scott is still my favorite 👍
@@shanksranks5823 Absolutely!
The Boss Baby has some incredible 3D. The darts scene is probably in my top 5 best pop-out scenes.
Good list. Ghost In the Shell live action (ScarJo) is a phenomenal 3D release that doesn’t get enough love.
Interesting choices. Maybe not the absolute best choices to show what 3D can do but still a good list :)

House Of Wax 3D being the first 3D film in color by a major studio 1953 (Warner Brothers ) !

• Avatar
• Edge of Tomorrow
• Gravity
• Life of Pi
• Pacific Rim
• SpongeBob Movie Sponge out of Water
• Star Trek into Darkness
• The force awakens
• Transformers TLK
• TMNT 2014
I love and have all of those. SpongeBob is so good! Loved Life of Pi!
Just in terms of 3D and disregarding quality or the lack thereof, these make most modern 3D outings look a bit flat:
The Bubble
Flesh for Frankenstein
It Came from Outer Space
The Maze

The title sounds like it was meant to have 3D 😂 I'll check it out. Thanks! 👍
@@shanksranks5823 enjoy your headache. 😆

So I can use my 3D Blu rays on it? Or I have to download files on a thumbdrive?
@@shanksranks5823 both options available.

How are u playing the fly back? My 3d player isint compatible from a file and PC's are hard to get to work too, it seems zidoo I'd the only option
I also wanted to know how you do it
good selection!!!thanks!!!
VR is bringing it back! now we might actually get 4k 3d
yes, AI upscaled.
Did you buy blu ray sleeves? I did not know that was a thing. Where do you find those?
Someone actually bought me a pack of 100 of them off Amazon. I need to buy more :(
@@shanksranks5823Have mine all sleeved up now.
The 3D in Tron: Legacy is weak weak weak. I’m surprised it’s on your list.
The 3D moments are limited.
I cant say anything for the bluray version but the theater one I didnt like.
@ I’ve got it on Apple’s platform, iirc. I got it via Vudu, too, I think.
It’s a massive shrug.
My Big Lots never had 3D flicks. So jealous.
Great list.
I would add some and remove others, but in the end it is a very good list.
What amazes me is that no one has recommended what I consider to be one of the best 3D Blu Rays, "Titanic"
Come on, if I hadn't seen it, I would have believed it. The 3D in that movie (non-native) is excellent.

Yes Spiderman 3 was also the worst of the spiderman movies.
have you seen xXx Return of Xander Cage in 3D
I love 3D blue Ray it's best thing ever why they stop maybe because it's amazing watch a movie whit that 3d extra
I’ve around 300 also
But I’m gonna try take an stab at the 10 noteworthy ones I’d suggest to someone
The walk
A very Harold and kumar 3D Christmas
The Hole
Turbo
Doctor strange
Journey 2 the mysterious island
In the heart of the sea
Polar express
Fright night
Black panther
I couldn’t sit through Transformers. Sooo bad.
It’s extremely rare that I stop a movie, giving up on it.
I have a SONY Bravia 3D TV and an ultra short laser projector. Both are great. But lately I've bought Royole Moon. The 3D image is incredible within this device. You may wish to take a look.

Unless you're living in a lighthouse, there's something seriously wrong with your camera. 😎
Avatar 2 will raise the bar for home entertainment
