We just got back from The lego movie 3D, our first son's first movie experience. He loved it, didn't move an inch during the whole movie. It was a good movie, a lot of fun, highly recommended. I'm glad they added 80's space guy for this old dad to have something to relate too :p
The cinema experience wasn't that great however after 12 year absence. The screen is bigger, yet fixed 16:9 is a bit odd, it can't go wider for 2.35:1. Maybe in a different auditorium or do you get black bars nowadays....
Picture quality was sub par, very low res, I could easily see all the pixels. The color was off too, especially with the glasses on. 3D made everything seem smaller, kind of a waste of that huge screen. It was pretty annoying too with all the out of focus dof effects in the movie. My wife noticed that too, 'Is it just me or was most of the movie out of focus' I like to look around the sets at the background details while watching a movie, kinda pointless when everything is blurry apart from the foreground in your face action. In 2D dof effects can work well, in 3D it's an eye sore.
The 3D effect wasn't bad when everything stopped moving for a second but most of the time it was distracting. There was also some weird distortion going on in certain scenes, especially at the end with Will Farrel, his head seemed egg shaped coming out of the screen. My wife wasn't impressed either, 'This is not like how I remembered it, maybe it was just cooler as a kid'
I'll try again in another decade lol. Compared to my local cinema my home theater still is much better, no contest. I already added the lego movie to my pre-order list. Can't wait to watch it in 2D with proper balanced color and without the screendoor effect.
