3D Blu Ray

[Limey]

I just took the plunge, and bought a 3D Blu Ray player specifically for "Gravity".  Will let you know how that looks once I've had a chance to fire it up but, in the meantime, anyone else have a 3D set-up and can recommend any other titles?

Well, I was a full-blown sceptic going in, but colour me converted.  The 3D presentation was spectacular.  I haven't seen any other titles in 3D at home, so some of this may be down to the jaw-dropping visuals of Gravity, but the 3D worked amazingly well.  The opening shot of a beautiful, blue Earth rotating slowly as viewed from orbit made it seem like we were looking out of a window.

Having perused the list of other 3D titles, I'm not sure I'm so enthused to rush out an buy any*, but Gravity has shown that you can use 3D not as a gimmick and make far more rich entertainment experience.


* The only other one I think falls into the same non-gimmick category as Gravity would be Prometheus.  I saw it in 3D IMax, and the visuals were fantastic.  Just a shame it had a plot written by a 13-year boy old with ADD.

I haven't seen it but 'Life of Pi' is supposed to be a good movie with great 3D.

Was not really interested in the movie when it came out, but I'll think about it.  Thanks!

I saw it in 2d (all that was available here), but I wish I could have seen it in 3D.  It seemed like it could be amazing and the word on the street was that it was.  I thought the rest of the movie was pretty good, as well, if a little heavy-handed.
