Hi,

Can anybody recommend a good 3D film (apart from Avatar) that is actually not a bad film or even documentary. Want a good demo disc to see what my new 3D PJ can do, looking for 'non animation' stuff if im honest.

Thanks,

Cookiemonster

Hugo was superb in 2D (even though it's a 3D film).

An excellent film regardless of how many 'D's you watch it in.

Recommended.

You could try Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams if you want to watch a 3D documentary.  I've not seen it as I don't have a 3D tv, but have heard good things about it.

Sorry, a film that's good in 3D or a good film that's in 3D?

You think?  Beautiful to look at undoubtedly, but I found the "It's A Love Letter To Cinema, Everybody" semaphore a bit dull.

I'm just saying I really enjoyed it.

I know you said not a documentary, but TT3D: Closer To the Edge is utterly brilliant, even if you're not into the TT or bikes.

Another vote for Hugo, saw it at the cinema, brilliant 3D, but an ok film.

RE: Can anybody recommend a good 3D film?

I can't beleive nobody has mentioned TinTin here...apart from Avatar this is the most accomplished 3D disc available and the movie itself was a pleasant surprise, if you have any love for Indiana Jones (like i do, hurry up bluray release!) then you will love it. I really enjoyed it after being a bit sceptical myself but it turned out to be great and one hell of a test disc, a fabulous disc and movie...highly recommended.

+1 for Hugo and Transformers 3 is a good 3D disc although the movie isn't that great, also consider The Green Hornet...it got a mixed reception but i like it quite alot Smile

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 and Tron Legacy both have good 3D sequences.

I have Tron 3d and have rented hugo 3d both are good for depth as are lots of others like Sanctum 3d but i have only experienced positive 3d (pop out) with one film TANGLED. Its a great film very funny, looks good, 7.1 dts hd and full screen as well (no black bars) which makes the 3d look better and as they light the floating candles they come into your foom about 4 ft amazing 3d !!!!!!!!!!!
