I meant Pacific Rim in 3D & Great Gatsby in 3D.

So what review sites do you trust? Rotten tomatoes? Or what?

Yeah, Gravity was really about the 3D experience, so it was all about tech in filming.

Have you tried 4K HD streaming from YouTube? I have the Transformers 4 trailer in the 4th OP that can be streamed in 4K HD. It has the robo dinosaur in the thumbnail. I think you have to click the YouTube button on it to open it in a new window to change the streaming quality to 4K HD.

Was Pacific Rim streamed at only 2K HD?

If so, then I guess 1080p is hopeless, LOL but true. All the more reason for more to wait for 8K HD (IMAX) TV & streaming.

Here's the X-Men 4: Days of Future Past 3D instagram trailer #3:

Nope not in 3D. It just distracts instead of adds for me, which lego 3D confirmed again.
I trust IMDB, always have, but mostly my own intuition. You get pretty good at predicting what you'll like after watching movies for 35 years.

I tried 4K streaming, while the bitrate is still lower than blu-ray, it's a huge step up from 1080p streaming. I don't have a 4K screen, yet downscaled to 1080p it comes pretty close to blu-ray quality. Unfortunately at 25mbps (11 GB per hour) my 80GB data cap doesn't support 4K streaming. I could maybe stream 1 4K movie a month on top of normal usage.
Here are some screens I just took from that transformers trailer, pretty decent quality.






Pacific rim was in regular 1080p 5mbps, hopeless indeed, escpecially with all the dark scenes and water. I didn't want to buy the blu-ray, not really my type of movie, but wanted to give Guillermo Del Torro a chance.

I'm looking forward to a physical 4K format, until then I'll stick to blu-ray.

Well anyone who has seen 3D movies for the past 1 or so years will tell you that the Lego Movie, and other CGI movies are not the way to go, to judge 3D Movies.

I say Great Gatsby because that's the most undeniable example, and I say Pacific Rim because that has the most depth in movies to date, which is why Gellermo Del Toro did the 3D effect in The Hobbit 2.

But yeah, it's sounds best for streaming to wait for 4K. Netflix is trying to be the first in 4K Streaming. I think the Great Gatsby was recorded with 4K digital 3D cameras.

Transformers 4 is recorded with Digital 3D IMAX Cameras. They weigh less then 100 pounds, and are smaller and don't make loud noise. Nolan is still using physical 2D IMAX Cameras.

I understand the need for more better color variation. When I saw Life of Pi in IMAX 3D the scene with the whale had glowing blue water, but on the 3D trailer on my 3DS and also in trailers on 1080p TVs it looked like glowing green water, and same goes for the DVD covers. There's too much 17 million color limitation from printing box covers to TVs & Handhelds. Let alone lack of differing deep black colors. But it's nice not to have that problem in theaters.

And in Gellermo Del Toro's defines; he never seems to know about technology. He must have used 2K cameras because he wanted an IMAX release for obvious reasons, and since at the time, most official IMAX Cinema rooms used 2K Projectors, he decided to go with 2K cameras. In the Hobbit 2 there were a few action scenes were he reduced the 3D depth, but since the movie is in high frame rate, there is no reason to reduce depth during action scenes.

Anyways, after what you said about Lego Movie 3D only having the Kra Gue scenes look good to you in 3D, it sounds like you need to see a movie in HFR 3D, and the only 21st Century 3D movies I know that are in High Frame Rate are the Hobbit trilogy [96 refresh rate (48 fps)] & Avatar 2 & 3 [120 refresh rate(60 fps)].

So you should check out The Hobbit 3 in theaters in HFR 3D, if you want to see every scene in a 3D movie look like the frozen scene in Lego Movie looked like to you.

I heard nothing but good things about the 3D effect in that movie, unlike the first one.

I always go for Rave XTREME, which is like IMAX, except for every movie, so I never got disappointed by 3D before 2013. But they temporary didn't show 3D in theaters that didn't do it right, and now they have the new releases have several different formats for theaters starting after March 7th 2014. So "Need for Speed" should be the first movie to show 3D looking good in every cinema.

Jurassic Park 1 3D (re-release) and The Amazing Spider-Man 1 3D on the only 3D movies I've seen in a regular size cinema screen, and that's because I went several weeks after their premiere.

I do plan on seeing 300: Rise of an Empire 3D on a regular size screen, because I saw the 3D trailer on an IMAX size screen, and the conversion didn't look native enough to me. But Jurassic Park 1 3D on a regular size screen was worse. But I hear the theater format of both Clash of the Titans & The Last Airbender were even worse then that. (assuming The Last Airbender wasn't recorded in 3D)

Heres Noah trailer #2, I didn't want to use any of the OPs for a second Noah trailer:

Here a couple of interesting trailers:

Aliens VS. Machine:

The Machine:

I'm personally only looking forward to Noah 3D, and that's just because of how awesome the 3D will look on 3D Blu-Ray & etc., but I wouldn't hold my breath for the theater format of the 3D effect in this particular movie, unless the Merican release is also in 3D, and even then, it will most likely only have good 3D in Theaters in America only.

Anyways, starting after March 7th 2014, any movie release in American Theaters has to have a different format of the 3D effect in each different size cinema screen including IMAX size, even if it's not IMAX, because of the theaters that have their own version of IMAX showing it on that size screen. Luckily the only movie that doesn't have time for this is either Noah or none of the above. Need for Speed is ready for all cinemas in America as Disney would clarify, and has about this movie for 3D screenings back around February 5th 2014. I look forward to reviewing Need for Speed 3D for setting the first milestone for people to enjoy on any size cinema screen in America with every scene looking 3D, on even the smallest of Cinema screens at legal theaters, LOL but you never know when there might be a Homer Simpson in your neighborhood giving away free screenings in his backyard, LOL.

If you like Simon Pegg movies, like I do (specifically; #1 Hot Fuzz & #2 The Worlds End, for me), then you might want to check out "A Fantastic Fear of Everything":

To be fair, I haven't seen "Paul" or whatever it's called, yet.

Have to give a shout out to "The Grand Budapest Hotel"; here's the Red Band Trailer:

Giving a shout out to; Bad Words, here's the Red Band Trailer:

And here's the Red Band Trailer for Neighbors:

GotG and SinCityaDtDf should be interesting in 3D.
