So i just bought a new 3D TV and i'm getting 2 pair of active 3D glasses free with it. I originally was going to hold off on getting the 3D glasses, but since they are coming I figure I may as well get a few 3D movies to go with it. Are any of you watching a lot of 3D content or have any recommendations on what movies may best show off the technology?

I know Avatar is a choice and i've heard some decent things about Tron and How to Train Your Dragon as well. but i think HtTYD is only available through Samsung's 3D bundle and I just bought a Sony.


Shit, i thought i put this in Entertainment. It probably needs to be moved

I bought a samsung with the Shrek 3d movie bundle... I watched maybe half of one of the movies and that was about it. It was kind of cool, but got old quick

Tron 3D was shitty. couldn't even tell it was in 3D for most of the movie.

huge. this film was a praised for it's use of 3D and has been named one of the best yet for the technology.

I've also heard good things about Tangled, though it's a story I have zero interest in.

really can't wait for the 3D trend to end

i don't have a problem with certain films wanting to enhance the experience with 3D. But if it's going to be done it needs to be done from the beginning. The worst thing about the trend is post conversion. Especially for films that had no intention of 3D and rush the process to cash in on the excitement (Clash of the Titans for example). The other bad thing is films that have no reason being in 3D and throw in a few "pop" scenes in order to use the technology. The best ones use 3D to bring depth to the world and some are actually great visual experiences.

should every film be in 3D? absolutely not. Not even every action or adventure film should be.

P.S. 3-D in the home is nearly as dumb as the quote above

I got a 3d samsung last week. I had found and ordered 3d coraline off half.com, but they were out of stock and had to refund my money.

Keep me posted on which good 3d movies you guys come across
