Like a complete idiot, I bought Amityville 3-D off Ebay just to see how the "living 3-D" process actually looks. What a pile CRAP! I was so pissed off that I had to share my frustration with others so that they might not make the same mistake of buying this. The scenes that slightly worked just created depth inside the screen by means of camera panning but then suddenly switches to flat or causes confusion to what is foreground and what is background. I also made a complete jackass of myself by blowing 75.00 on the 3 pack that had "Little Shop of Horrors". I might as well have taken my money to the restroom and flushed it clean down the can. I can't comprehend how someone would release a horrible product like that. If anyone is planning on purchasing these "living 3-D" titles or movies like "hunting Season" please, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "how ripped off do I want to feel today?". It's a waste of money and time and gives this particular format a really bad name. The guy selling them should get banned from Ebay. Don't companies or individuals that sell converted titles realize that this is a form of false advertising and destroying the reputation of the 3-D genre and the original films? Sorry for the rant but I'm a huge fan of the 50's and 80's 3-D boom and folks on Ebay and whatever the company is selling "converted" movies and just plain embarassing s**t like "Camp Blood" should be hog-tied and smacked upside the head with a sack of golf balls. Thanks for listening and I hope some of the other stereophiles share the same view. | ||

I stand corrected... the Imax releases are very well done. Too bad they had to mix in junk to coax the consumer to "get more use of their 3-D glasses". | ||

Well, even the IMAX DVDs aren't perfect. Slingshot Ent. made a lots of mistakes. Especially Alien Adventure is really bad, some scenes are out of sync, I wasn't able to see the Kid Coaster sequence in 3D at all. | ||

In addtion the IMAX coversion from film 24 FPS to NTSC 30 FPS degradated the quality significanlty. The conversion to 25 FPS PAL done by speed up change only looks on the other hand perfect in comparion to the NTSC version ... | ||

There are no TRUE 3-D field-sequential versions of Amityville 3-D available ...yet. There was an anaglyph version made for Pay TV roughly 15 years ago. ALL of the "Living 3-D" titles are made from a seller down under. He uses this term to indicate they are 2D to 3D conversions. In other Living 3-D means "CRAP". | ||

Worse yet... I bought the 2D->3D Amityville 3 from an eBay seller who claimed it was the REAL 3-D version (then they disappeared from eBay). People buying the Living 3-D and then re-selling it, don't even get that it is counterfeit 3-D. I think that the sack of golfballs to the head is too kind a punishment. This fake 3-D stuff will kill 3-D yet again. Very frustrating. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the anaglyph "Amityville 3-D" from the pay TV of 15 years ago? I know it is out there somewhere. I've heard of it's existance through other collectors. I'll gladly trade for it, or pay for it. Any clues as to where to start looking for the real Amityville 3-D (anaglyph) ? Any clues at all? Thanks. | ||

To Anonymous (the original one at the top of this forum): "Hunting Season" and "Camp Blood" aren't converted 3-D fakes. They were shot in genuine stereoscopic 3-D using a Nu-View 3-D adapter. However, your assessment of their overall quality is quite accurate. In addition to eBay, at least two commercial websites (eDimensional and Razor3D) are dishonestly selling a mixture of true 3-D and converted fake 3-D DVDs, while advertising them all as simply "3-D DVDs." Unfortunately, you have to be familiar with the individual movies to know which is which. | ||

I do have amityville 3D, Jaws 3D, Friday the 13th 3D, Hunting season and several other in field sequential format and I must say i am VERY pleased with my purchases. One especially nice buy was Metal Storm 3D - if you like these cheesy early 80s sci-fi B-Movies then this is a must. Hunting season is really a B-Movie but although most actors there will prolly never raise to fame with playing like this the cool fact is that unlike other trash productions they were really aware about 3D effects and have a clever way to nearly always combine objects in the foreground and background to max the "wow" effect. They also play all kinds of 3D trick cards like pointing objects towards the camera or using optimized perspectives. If it wasn't in 3D it would be total trash by the acting, but the 3D effects in hunting seasons are really worth watching if you get the movie for cheap. So far the only movies that i was really disappointed were the CGI animated ones like imax alien adventure and the others. The 3D effects are nice, but other than that it's a pain to watch, even a 3 years old would rate these bad. The normal imax movies like "Ultimate Gs" suffer from terrible acting and boring stories but at least offer nice effects and are at least a tad less stupid than the animated ones. All of them are in field sequential and were a pleasure to watch, the 3D effect is totally cool in all of these. I assume that 6 years ago when this thread was started there were some "bad" 3D conversions around as otherwise i totally fail to understand what everyone was bitching about. | ||

early on, there were a lot of FAKE 3D conversions...many, if not most, of us have been burned by these fake 3D DVDs (where for the most part they took a single 2D stream, doubled it up, separated it slightly so it would look inset into your TV, then interlace). Not real impressive. However, I noticed one seller on ebay that was doing this and people didn't even seem to realize what was going on. The first two I got stuck with (bought them together) were Money From Home and Kiss Me Kate...I could tell right away there was no separation between objects on the screen. I posted the Amityville link just to show how far conversions have come--it's even available in 720p streaming and multiple 3D format to try out. Even youtube is light years ahead of where it was in 2004. |
