    It was great to see them release Avatar 2 on blu ray 3D long after most big distributors stopped offering the immersive 3D format. An incredible 3D film that exceeds the 3D of the first and that 3D fans can thankfully enjoy at home. Please release Avatar 3 on blu ray 3D as well! The 3D fans will return to support it.

    Being someone who does all their 3D viewing on projectors since 3D bluray came out, I'm definitely in for the 3D disc as well. The quality of 3D these days with the JVC laser series, like my NZ9, is just phenomenal, especially with a 150" image. You can't achieve that kind of immersion on a flat panel TV. Just annoying the format has dwindled down to barely anything just as the consumer display tech has gotten this good.

    Nice one Shane. 100% 3D Blu-ray all the way for me on this one; zero interest in ever watching this one flat, however 4K crispy the 4K disc might be... Good point about those flat wide shots: James Cameron's not a fan of hyperstereo so, for good or bad, has always avoided "unrealistic" three dimensional landscape shots. PS To *really* try to replicate the film's cinematic HFR look, you'd have to turn your motion interpolation on & off every few seconds..!

      Yeah, I can understand why Cameron keeps making the wide shots flat. But if it were left up to me, I'd probably say "Why not make the wide shots hyperstereo? It's a 3D movie isn't it? Why not use the 3D to its full advantage?" Thankfully though, those shots weren't too often and were heavily outweighed by the great shots. About the HFR, it's a little disappointing that didn't come with the 3D Blu-ray release. But honestly, I'd say it's a miracle we go the film on 3D Blu-ray at all.

    Thank you for still reviewing optical media ! And reviewing the overall quality of the latest releases! The 3D Blu-ray of Avatar 2 is superb ! and thanks for suggesting the high frame rate !
    I am watching on a Sony PS3 Super Slim with Sony Active shutter 3D on my beloved oldie but still substantially superior goodie; the Sony Bravia XBR65Z9D!
    After watching Avatar2 3D Blu-ray I watched Resident Evil After life 3D ( it was also filmed on Avatars Sony Fusion 3D Cameras).
    And I was so blown away by the gorgeous detail and depth of the Image and especially the lighting such as flash lights! I don’t care how many nitts an Oled or QLED can push ,when seeing the flashlights for the first time in 3D this is a whole nother level of realism and depth .Same can be said about Avatar with its water and glowing night and heavy daylight scenes . This depth leaves you with an actual 3rd dimensional memory imprint of the movie .which is an imprinted feeling of had been there in real life compared to any 2D 4K TV that is forgettable.
    I hope Apple helps 3D return with its pro vision.
    Also what you see on the Avatar 2 ,4K transfer is up scaled as a true native 4K rendered CGI film is decades away because raw processing power to run real-time proxy previews is non existent .
    Keep doing what your doing and don’t forget to have fun.

I use a REL TX9 sub and B & W speakers using HTM 71’s for the L,R and C channels which have enough bass response to do without the REL’s except for music listening and all the other speakers are B & W switchable direction speakers. The screen is a Grand View aluminium framed fixed screen. Best demo disc perhaps ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’?

    Great review. Definitely 3D for me. Glad you mentioned Pacific Rim. I LOVED that movie in 3D. With how amazing that movie was in addition to the first Avatar movie who would have thought the state of 3D at home would be what it is today. With that said I can't wait to watch this movie in 3D. So glad they released it on 2 discs rather than 1. I actually had my TV convert it in 3D when I bought the digital release so I can't wait to see how much better the 3D disc will be. I am still hoping for a 3D Blu-ray of The Abyss. I really hope that happens.

    I think a reason you’re not seeing a big resolution difference between this and the 4K UHD disc is because your Panasonic does an amazing job upscaling. I recently watched Avatar 1 3D on my UB820 and it looked like a 4K disc no joke. I was mesmerized by how good it looked.

      Each of your eyes are seeing a completly seperate 1080p image (with shutter glasses anyway). 3D always looked razer sharp to me on my projector vs a 1080p 2D as your brain is seeing 2 slightly different views of the world (seeing different details) and joining it all up in your head to produce what is effectively a high detail/resolution image than 1080p 2D, if that makes sense.

    I discovered I can watch 3D movies with Oculus Quest 2. I never really watched any from beginning to end yet. My first experience was really bad and ditched the idea, but I later realized it was because of low quality half side by side conversion (probably meant for 3d tv's) . I'm now converting Avatar 1 myself, testing different quality setting but I'm already quite impressed with some 10 minutes of watching.

    i'm a 3D fan also, and appreciated your review and information. You mentioned in your review about the LG oled 3dTV which is a passive 3D TV like in the theaters. You also did a review of the Sony XW6000es Projector using an expand 3d kit and RF glasses. My question to you is: Can the Sony projector do Passive 3D as well. The projector specs say "full 3D support" does that mean it can produce the 3D image; with passive glasses used like the Theaters and my passive LG OLED 3DTV. RF glasses gives me and the family headaches. My Sony 46" 3DTV with RF glasses are headed to the dumpster.

One of the best 3d presentations was Marvel's "The Avengers" (2012), with the play station 3d glasses that came with the tv the battle in New York jumped off the screen including that one long shot following each Avenger during the battle.

  • @Blixthand

    I saw this in 3D twice in cinemas, I felt it was great in the beginning, but not so much at the end, and I wondered if maybe my eyes were adjusting and ignoring the 3D depth as anything special at the tail end of 3 hours, or if the effect wasn't consistent throughout (or maybe a bit of both). I am picking up the 3D version, but Sweden is not getting its own 3D release so I'll have to import it.
    Haven't seen Pacific Rim in 3D, wasn't the biggest fan of that movie when I first saw it. For me personally my reference for great 3D is Thor Ragnarok, I will always watch that one in 3D for as long as I have 3D equipment.

  • @jeffhampton6972
    @jeffhampton6972 Před rokem +1

    Dang, thank you so much for making this! The specifics were really helpful, I absolutely love how you approach this. I'm curious about the shots that appear more shallow that you referred to (space, etc). Could it be that things shot with a long telephoto lens (whether real or virtual) don't garner the same separation? I don't have a copy to reference, but it reminds me of looking through binoculars, where very far objects still look almost like they're in a single plane. I presume it's because really far objects yield near-same images on each retina/camera. Something really far and something at infinity would appear about the same in terms of eye angle. Close objects. however, have much more eye angle changes for relatively minor differences in distance. I could have some of that wrong, I just find it really fascinating. So I wonder if their choice in telephoto/angle of view for those shots (if that's actually what they did) is what inherently made them that way. Anyway, thanks again, have a good one!

    Great review. I can't wait to finally watch this flick on 3D Blu-ray. I reviewed this film in 3D at the theater when it first came out and it was hands down the greatest 3D experience I've ever had, in theater or at home. The first Avatar also had reference quality 3D. But in my opinion, I think there are a few films, including this one, that just edge out over it. This one in particular just had more to work with in terms of 3D because of all the water scenes. That's just my thought though. Still, while I am curious to see for myself how the 4K version works out, I know 3D will still be the definitive way to see it. It's definitely a real shame that 3D Blu-ray nowadays is kinda on life support. It's up to people like us to keep it alive. Personally, I'm still holding out hope that Puss in Boots 2 and Jaws (1975) will make their way onto 3D Blu-ray someday.

    Please make sure that you see a 3D movie (particularly this one) on a Virtual Reality screen at some point in your life (recommend Skybox VR for playback). It's a game changer. And headsets will only get more comfortable and higher resolution. And before you totally crap on my comment if you hate VR, remember, 3D is booming there and it just may keep the 3D home viewing industry on life support and into recovery.
