Group, Has anyone here watched the 3D versions of any of these films - if so please comment on the quality of the movie and especially it's 3D content quality. I am especially interested in the Old black and white Sci Fi series ones... (Radar Men and Flash Gorden) were they originally shot in 3D or was this a conversion? -VR 1.

Hi VRjunkie! I'll try to give you my "two cents" take on the titles you've mentioned: 1) "The Bubble" is a color anaglyph version of a 3-D film that was originally shown in the polarized format. There's an OOP field-sequential version re-named "the Zoo" that looks MUCH better. 2) Ditto applies for "Comin At Ya"! Find the field-sequential version if you can. The original "color" is kept in the color anaglyph DVD version, which distracts more than it helps. (Just imagine viewing a blue sky with red & blue glasses) Again the OOP field-sequnetial version stomps on the anaglyph version, although the DVD version offers the original Dolby Stereo audio track, which is well done for the early 80's. 3) "The Mask" was shown theatricaly in anaglyph, but the NTSC VHS version suffers from the video limitations placed on the VHS format's color bandwidth. If you have an LD player, the OOP laserdisc version isn't too shabby. Also note only a few segemnts of "the Mask" are in 3-D, the majority of the film is in B&W 2D. 4&5) Avoid these lemons at all cost! These films were shot in 2-D (flat) and have been converted to quasi-3D, meaning the whole image has simply been shifted back in the "stereo window". The format for both of these DVDs is the field-sequnetial format, but even field-sequnetial can't make chicken salad out of chicken s**t!! 6) This title has segments staged for the pulfrich 3-D effect. So if you like pulfrich, (I don't care for it much) check it out. 7) I've heard rumors about I Monster being shot in stereoscopic 3-D, but so far have not seen any concrete evidence so far. It appears the links you have provided are also 2D versions. Hope this helps! -Greg- | ||
