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.

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.
